“ One of the more authentic Mexican restaurants in the area. Large servings at a fare price. Wait staff is great! All the dishes are worth trying, especially the Pozole, one of my favorites. ”
“ I tried their happy hour burrito which is $7 and it is decently sized. I tried the carne asada burrito. The food is flavorful and the staff is wonderful. Especially this one elderly lady, she is the sweetest. I've come a few times that she has already recognized me. I have also tried their flan de caramelo & gotten their taco Tuesday specials (carne asada & chicken ) that are yummy. I like protein that is juicy and flavorful, I think it's like $6-7 dollars but worth it for the size. Would recommend if you're in the mood for tacos or burritos. ”

“ Full disclosure I rarely eat Mexican food out. I was set it up for a party around the block. Of course my go to stress food is french fries . I said I was just going to go to Taco Bell to get french fries and everybody gave me a dirty look. They sent me here. I'm so glad they did. I got the carne asada fries minus the carne asada . everybody was so friendly and attentive. The salsa was so good. The restaurant is beautiful and clean. I definitely going back there. Thank you for my non-meat Carne Asada french fries they were delicious. A 100 yards away they have a Taqueria that just sells tacos. Definitely telling my mom! ”
