Trying to order pickup, Their not allowing me, they only want you have it delivered. So they can rake in the cash to have it delivered with extra charges, fees, service fee, handling fee,
ECT.
I kept tasting bits of mould when eating my dish. I did a taste test of each component and found the red peppers used were mouldy.
The service was fine and the prices were fine. Their margarita was okay.
Although, I will not be going back. They need a health inspection ASAP.

Tasty Mexican spot with maybe the best salsa I've had in the city. Had some issues with service (never got our margarita) but food was solid and vibes relaxing.

First Mexican restaurant we decided to try since moving down from Texas.
We bought menudo and we were highly disappointed. Took forever to make!!
No pozole in the menudo and all fat with a big bone in the middle, no meat!! Tortillas aren’t even homemade….NOT worth $19 at all
Gotten takeout from these guys a couple times and they're always prompt and friendly.

This is my favorite Mexican Restaurant... I've been customer for over 20 years. It's family owned and they care about the community. Good food, drinks and full of love!

Reliable family owned Mexican restaurant. Nothing to write home about (which is forgivable because home is Texas), but its a solid option for home-cooked Mexican food in a city rightfully ridiculed for its dearth of good Mexican options. Extremely friendly waitstaff.

A Mexican restaurant with tasty food and a welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the chimichanga for dinner and Agua de Tamarindo. We asked for churros for dessert and I found the whole experience very enjoyable.

Excellent restaurant my friend and I wandered into. One critique was the lack of check-ins and we waited a while until we realized we needed to go up front for the check.
Food was great and I'd definitely come back, although I did notice that the steak did not taste as fresh as I've had at other places. I noticed the attention to detail where they placed chips next to my tacos so they wouldn't get into the beans, very nice!

I’ve been going to Mexican restaurants since I started walking. Mainly because my grandmother is Mexican. We’d go to Rincon Tapatio or Rancho Chico in Spokane where I grew up. So basically almost every Mexican restaurant I’ve tried in my 30 years has yet to top it. Well my husband and I went here tonight, and it tasted exactly like home. He got a steak burrito that was the size of my arm, the salsa was spicy (that’s how you know it’s going to be good), and our server was fantastic, had a full restaurant. If you want authentic Mexican that doesn’t break the bank, go here! Will definitely be back.

It's not in our neighborhood, but it's worth a stop when we are in that part of town! We stopped for lunch and had the dining room to ourselves. It had been a while, but the food was as good as we remembered. It would have been easy for the kitchen to give us reheated food, but it was fresh and clearly made on the spot. This is NOT franchise Mexican food, and we consider it one of the best in Seattle when you are looking for delicious Mexican cuisine!
