    Extremely rude cashier and very bad management. Owner is as rude as employees. Food taste good bud sometimes very stingy. I do not recommend coming in here at all. First and last time coming here

    Hands down.. Best Mexican food ever Great service The ladies servers and staff are outstanding. Very reasonable price and generous portions Amazing paella, fajita, taco’s and Fautas. Don’t forget to ask for the 2nd menu card (it has even more choices)

    That food was nasty. Had eggshells in my Eggs, the chilakiles were so nasty it was boils salsa and tortiyal chips. No salt no flavor. You dont even sauté the salsa. Never again. If you wana stay in business change your attitude and tone for the customers. The worse part is you’re pricey for poor quality of food. 👎

    Probably one of the best Mexican places around! The meat, flour tortillas, and rice were all especially well done, and everything came out of the kitchen very quickly.

    Fantastic local restaurant. Chimichangas, fajitas, fish, fried pina, and oysters were all very good.

    It was my first time stopping in for a taco dinner. I first noticed how clean it was, and the young lady who took my order was very friendly. Lastly, I got home, and my food was hot and delicious. I will definitely go back! Thanks so much.

    I absolutely LOVE this place. I've visited several times. Their chips and salsa are awesome, and their tacos are amazing. Every time I have come in, I have brought someone new, and they too have enjoyed the food.

    Authentic mexican food. We had barbacoa tacos and enchiladas suizas. Delicious and nice size portions. We also had a soup that was brought out with the chips-free- that was very good.

    My favorite is quesadillas hecha a mano (handmade) is delicious with any type of filling. Mine is Chicharon (pork rind) which are soft cooked in sauce. 🤤🤤.

    Got the steak taco dinner for take out. Food was delicious. Beans were perfectly seasoned and paired nicely with the rice. Prices are very reasonable

    Was my first time going there and I didn't know what to expect....... but when I opened the take-go box it was packed with beans and rice over flowing the containers. The burrito was huge and was fire! Salsa Verde has a nice jalapeños kick. I'll be back again 100%. Also, the younger woman that works there is nice 👀 thick like the burritos. Lol

  • 5/5 Edward K. 1 year ago on Google
    A very good experience at this restaurant. Starting off with chips and salsa. We ordered Carne Asada Quesadilla and Enchilada Suiza with 2 different bottles of salsa. Both dishes were very good tasting. I do plan on going back. Prices are average to other Mexican restaurants.
