Excellent food, highly recommended flavor ?

We were looking for a Mexican restaurant near the concert venue we were going afterwards and I saw good reviews for this restaurant. What a find! They have dishes I haven't seen offered at other Mexican restaurants. They do not skimp on ingredients like spices. I ordered a pina agua fresca and it far surpassed my expectations; it was frothy and fresh tasting and not too sweet. Some places seem to use drink mixes or purchased beverages, but this tasted homemade. Everything was tasty, fresh and of generous portions. I know it's a small place but I wonder if they were a little short staffed. The staff were very kind and efficient. We will definitely go back.

Food is amazing, haven't had anything we disagreed with. Burrito's are large enough for lunch the next day. Staff is friendly and accommodating, though since they are new they forget the basics of service. Our family has zero complaints and have made this our go too Mexican restaurant.

Love this hidden gem. It is part mini grocery/tienda and part restaurant. We went here on a Tuesday night and it was just us. The waitress came over and promptly served us. We ordered the guacamole which was freshly made and the best because for once it was not too salty unlike other places! We ordered three tacos— steak, chicken, and chorizo. Delicious and again, not too salty which made us so happy! Most other restaurants are so salty that it gives us headaches but this is the first taco place we ate and it was perfectly done. We will be back!

This is a fantastic Mexican restaurant very authentic and rich in flavor. I have tried so far their chilaquiles, flautas and Gorditas and WOW every time it's the same flavor . Definitely one of my new favorite spots to come and bring mu family and friends. The owners are so sweet and welcoming their little tiendita is amazing they have a lot of Hispanic items . If your in the area I highly recommend you stop by and give it a try . I your business continues to prosper and is here to stay ✨️
