This place awesome great friendly staff awesome food I've been there around 10 times and am blown away at how great it is My favorite is the different burritos and try the shrimp dip
So glad to have found this gem this weekend! The service and food was spectacular. The food was absolutely wonderful. I tried the Molcajete and it was INCREDIBLE and the presentation was awesome! I will be back soon!
Best Mexican restaurant in town!! I've been looking for food like this since I moved here from Cali!
They have the most magical salsa. I always buy some to take home. Love the food.
Don’t let the size of the building fool you. This little place is a gem! The food was so great and the service matched it. I got the carne asada tacos and they were some of the best I have had in a long time!
We were all hungry. It was a nice day, so we sat outside. Ordered a non meat meal due to lent. Food was good. The green salsa was EXCELLENT. Bought some to take home.
Been hearing about this place for several weeks from different people. Was talking to someone I didn't know and they mentioned it because their diabetic dad loves a shrimp and vegetable dish they make that has no carbs except for the tostadas and orange slices. Tried it today. The original shrimp dish is raw shrimp but I got them to boil the shrimp. I don't eat raw seafood. It was excellent. My wife enjoyed her chicken taco salad very much. The salsa and flan are uniquely theirs. Definitely a place to return and try other dishes on their menu. Please note the price range I selected was based on our meal which were some of the higher priced items. There are less expensive items that by description in the menu look extremely appetizing. From the road the place looks like a carry out only but does have seating inside with pleasant atmosphere and gracious good service. There is also outside seating on a covered patio.
Wow!!! What authentic flavors and great service! Jose was quick to take our order and it was fast to come out. The salsa was banging, perfectly a-little-too-spicy, the guacamole had a delicious hint of lime, and they did not skimp on meat in the birria tacos. The server didn’t even laugh when my white-boy husband ordered carne asada enchiladas😆 Jose gave us to-go cups for our horchata, which tastes homemade and sent us off with great conversation (in Spanish, I think he was happy to have a fellow Mexican to talk to😊). Unfortunately this will be our only visit, I wish I would’ve known about this place sooner. Thanks Jose, for the great meal!!!
I ordered through DoorDash and was somewhat disappointed when I did not get everything I ordered. But then,….. I dug in to what I did get and OMG! It was amazing! I got Mulitas and a side of rice and beans. Best I’ve had in a VERY long time. If the food is this good to-go, I can’t wait to dine in. I especially enjoyed the pickled veggies that came with the Mulitas. Now I’m even more disappointed that I didn’t get my flan. LOL!
Best salsa ever hands down! Everything’s fresh made, hot sauces and all so fresh!! Even the carrots that sit in that jalapeño juice were fresh and crisp! We got the Birria tacos and it was so amazing! Their guac is fresh and chunky with a great amount of lime flavor! The bean dip was even better with the pool of queso plopped in the middle! Horchata was not homemade was my only con honestly but it was still good since it did not a heavy amount of the powder/sugar sitting at the bottom! Definitely will be back! Most authentic Mexican food since moving out here from Arizona! Loved it so much, they have Mexican candies up front, jarritos and Classic Mexican coke in a glass, not sure if they sell beer, honestly think they would make an amazinggg michelada if they did but I know that license is a whole other thing. LOVE LOVE LOVE! And the service was amazing, attentive! Food was served fast! They also have a drive thru window.
