My family has been coming here for over 10 years and the quality has gone downhill. It was 50/50 whether what we ordered was good. The horchata was watered down and tasted only like milk, the jamaica was also a little watered down, but still okay. They had a special for chicken taquitos (they were more like flautas); the portion was large and tasty. The fish tacos were not good: the tortillas were cold, the lettuce appeared old, and the ratio of toppings to fish was disproportionate....

I eat a lot of Mexican restaurants these guys are by far the best and all of Washington I would say I always buy a half a pound of carne asada which comes with all the fixin's and the tortillas and you make up your own tacos oh my God are they the best ever

Seriously the best Mexican food place I have ever had, and I've tried every place in Washington. The workers here are super friendly and welcoming too. I recommend this place to everyone I know, all the time. It's genuine Mexican cuisine 🔥🫶🏻
