Customer Reviews

"Service was okay. Very sweet waitress, but wasn't very attentive during our visit. BUT food was amazing, very authentic in my opinion! I'm very picky about my Mexican rice and beans and these definitely were delicious. Tortillas were so soft and yummy too!! Husband loved the enchiladas and my girls enjoyed their quesadillas. And if you love a good spicy green salsa, I'd say ask for it, won't disappoint! "

"Don't hesitate! This place is great. Service was good, food tasty and prices are reasonable. The restaurant and bathroom were very clean. Menu was a little messy and coffee was Folgers (boo)(would have loved some cafe bustelo or other stronger choice) but overall the food was fantastic!! Definitely give it a try!!"

- Dave S.

"Visiting the area, tried this place on a recommendation and am very glad I did! I may not be a trained 'foodie', but have sampled Mexican food all ove the country and this was some of the best, frshest, most uniquely flavored food I've had! Even the extra sauces the brought over were too good to not use, but everything tasted so good, it was a shame to cover up the original flavors!!! A good quandary to have!! If/when I get back here, or know of anyone heading near here, this will be top of my mind for recommendations!! Staff was friendly, location is a bit dated but clean, so don't let that keep you away! I had the Texas special and a hibiscus drink. Both hit the spot, and I was tempted to lick the plate clean "

"Went for breakfast on Sunday. Our go-to place for Menudo. Though on that day, it was more spicy than normal. I could see the huge chili flakes. I had to add more cilantro & limes to cool my tongue, but the flavor was soooo yummy. It definitely cleared my nose! You can see the meat is cleaned well, as little fat was floating. My daughter had pancakes & sausage, which the sausage tasted exactly like McDonald's!!!! The sauce for the Huevos Rancheros was on point! Waitress was super attentive & pleasant."

- Gloria C.

"Price is okay a little high & food isn't anything great. We didn't finish all of it because it was too greasy and I swear they gave us two big spoon fulls of beans before they expired lol. I'm like WTH. The only reason I'm giving it a 3 stare is our male water was awesome and attentive. I would give this place a second chance and will update but for now I wasn't satisfied with the food. Maybe the chef just wasn't having it. IDK."

- Lina C.
