“ I've always found that hole-in-the-wall restaurants are the best kinds when it comes to "ethnic" food. And I'm comfortable calling this an ethnic restaurant as the menu is geared more towards Mexican customers rather than us gringos I've ordered several dishes from this restaurant and I've never been disappointed. They serve a lot of their entrees with grilled cactus and creme fresh which takes the dishes to the next level. Even their salsa and guacamole is excellent. I've noticed that a lot of the locals order their soup so I'm dying to come back and try those as well. ”
“ Went for the first time on Sunday. I ordered the Loco Burrito and my wife ordered two tacos and refried beans.One Mexican and one American. She liked the Mexican taco better. Beans were very good. I loved the Burrito. It was large!! Diet Coke and bottled water were only 1.50 each. They also give free chips and salsa which were very good. Had to ask for more salsa which was no additional cost. The music unfortunately was very loud. Definitely will return. ”
“ The food was fantastic, the mango margarita is so delicious and the service was phenomenal. Sofie was extremely attentive and sol sweet. Definitely planning to return for the tasty tacos! ”
“ This is a great place! Large menu, various soups and main courses. The food is incredibly delicious. 90% of visitors were Mexican by sight, which means the restaurant really matches Mexican cuisine! 5/17/2021 review update. Still perfect place and still amazing cuisine! Thanks! ”
“ We are regulars, and this place is my familys go to taco spot! We love the authentic al pastor tacos the best. The server usually already knows our typical order lol. Our food always tastes warm and great, and the service is fast. We have been to a bit of mexican restaurants around the area after living here for 2 years now coming from south fl, and so far this is our favorite! Photo of my boyfriends cold beer with tacos for reference. ”
“ I ordered the enchiladas combo with rice and beans. Two with marinated pork and two with chicken. I was the only one here, so the service was great. The portions were so generous that I could only finish half of it. This is authentic Mexican cuisine! It's my new favorite place. The menu is extensive. This place is way off the beaten path and hardly noticeable as it sits in a small L-shaped space with a few other businesses. ”
“ If you’re culturally challenge then this place is not for you. (So Becky’s and Karen’s got to Taco Bell) Me and my family are always comfortable and never have I had a complaint. Don’t knock it until you try it! Great AUTHENTIC food! ”
“ first time at this little place. all I can say is I wish it was closer to home. The food started with the chips, salsa (amazing and not over spicy) The Juicy Pork Chimichanga was So amazing, I had a custom order Chicken burrito and 3 sope. The food was not over spiced, the taste is of the food. everything was great staff are friendly but do not over hover, they are very friendly, my medical condition requires me to drink more then normal and my Sweet tea never was empty. the owner should be very proud. ”
