We both got the mexican plate (taco and enchiladas) and daughter got queso and chips (she's picky). All of it was really good. The host and the waiter were cool. I would definitely come back for food and service!“

“Food was delicious. Ordered the Bistec Ranchero en salsa and it was very good. Flour Tortillas are made by hand and one is the size of 3. They serve a sopa de fideo as a starter. Agua Frescas are served in a small pitcher. Very flavorful. Do recommend. Just to server.. she was kind but please dont press the tip button percentage before we even have a chance to put our own. We gave deserved tip but that action itself was questionable.“
