The service wasn’t great, our server took our order and we didn’t see him again. The food was good!

Simply spectacular... I’ve driven 1700 miles of my 2300 mile trip. I found this place using Google maps, based on the reviews. I had the chicken moly, the fresh guacamole, and the shrimp and chicken fajitas. It was all delicious in the service was excellent as well. I also posted pictures of their new menus.

Service was very unique and food was delicious my little one loved the chips and salsa. Most salsa’s don’t have any flavor or spice. The menudo was the best I have had in a very long time especially in restaurants!! We will definitely be back very soon!!

Oh my WORD, was the food DELICIOUS!! The first place I've visited that says Authentic Mexican food and it's actually Authentic!!! I ordered 3 Enchiladas one beef, one chicken, one cheese and it's actually queso fresco! Then there's the rice... you can taste the love mixed in, lol. This place is truly Authentic and the staff was kind, courteous, and efficient. There's no doubt that "I Will Be Back"! ...You should go too! Next time I will take and post pictures. My nose and stomach didn't give me time to snap a pic; I devoured my plates in minutes
