Being a truck driver from southern cali with a wife that was literally born in Mexico I’m very skeptical about trying “Mexican” food out this direction but this place was very delicious and authentic, service was great too.
June 2024
Food comes in very large portions. The drinks were super large as well. My steak was 75% fat, but all the other options on my plate made up for that. The customer service wasnt all that great, but it could have been because of the language barrier
June 2024
The fact that they don’t speak great English (based on other reviews that downgrade them for this) made me think it is actually an authentic place ? And it IS!!! The food is excellent.
