This is the best Mexican food I have had in forever! You have to go here and get the Tapatios I have only seen this as street food in Mexico I was so surprised to see them on the menu you have to try them!
This family-owned Mexican restaurant is a hidden gem! The food is authentic, delicious, and generously portioned. The service is warm and welcoming, with a family touch that makes you feel like part of the familia. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.
Don't miss this one. One of my best Mexican food restaurants I have been too. Food was delicious. Service was with a smile . It's not your typical tex-mix food. It's like home cooked. Attention to details was in everything. Food seasoning, the plate was hot, The tortillas were fresh, you can taste the fresh ingredients. Highly recommend. I will be back for sure.
Amazing food! This is a tiny little spot that is easy to miss. Food was great, portions were generous, servers very friendly. I'll definitely be back!
They say you can tell when a Mexican restaurant is good, when you taste the chip and salsa. The salsa wasn’t good, it was GREAT! After the salsa, we started off with a queso and guacamole, and I have to say, they were DELICIOUS. Don’t get me started with the service. The service went above and beyond. We got there when it was super busy, and they did their best to accommodate three people right away. My daughter mentioned that the guacamole was a bit spicy. Moments later, they came with a small plate full of guacamole with no tomatoes and jalapeños. A small gesture that made quite the impression. Plus, 2 appetizers and 3 entrèes for less than $75, which is not bad at all. Their food makes a big impact.
This is not your typical tex-mix restaurant. This is real amazing Mexican food. Loved it and highly recommend it. They pay great attention to details like quality of the food, the hot plates, the fresh tortillas. And don't forget to try the empanadas they are fantastic. I will definitely be visiting again.
Quality authentic Mexican food. Loved every bite. Got the empanadas, Santa Fe, and horchata. Highly recommend.
