“The waiter Huber basically told us what not to order. NOTE When you come to this location bring your own silverware, we had to share a knife among 3 people. The enchiladas & steak, more like a slice of brisket drenched in a salty cheese sauce. Awful!! The beef enchilada, unflavored ground meat, again drenched in a red sauce WITH cheese. Cancun tilapia again with cheese and 8 tiny cocktail shrimp - no garlic sauce The plate was hot but not the food. At 8ish on a saturday night they only had 3 or 4 tables, no more than 12 people, including us 3 If they were starting to close for the day, they should've close the area they were cleaning. I don't appreciate smelling 'Fabuloso" while I'm eating with the mop bucket next to my table. Really your motto should be "Why are you still in business..." Marked as 1st and last on places not to visit. Overpriced for the food quality“

Salsa given with it was a little spicy but very good. Elote was delicious. Used mild sauce on top. Limonada was good but to sweet for me. Can be cut with water to make more. Nowhere inside to sit and dine. Will return to try other items. Friendly cashier. Bows, purses, jerseys, and other items for sale. Small parking lot.“

Ordered the Mexican hamburger, which was so fresh and delicious. The fries were perfect too! I also wanted to try the menudo and wow was I surprised by the excellent taste. The corn tortillas are homemade which was the cherry on top for me. Please keep this quality of food because it was absolutely delicious.

The presentation was beautiful, the portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality and service you get. If you’re looking for authentic, flavorful tacos, whether for a quick bite or a special event, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!“
