I’m always skeptical about going to a Mexican restaurant since I am Mexican myself and can cook. I was recommended by a friend to try it out, so I did…and boy oh boy it didn’t disappoint at all! I had a shrimp tostada and a plate of camarones al mojo de Ajo. Fresh delicious and they use huge shrimp! Great flavors, perfectly seasoned. My friends had a shrimp cocktail, full of large seafood pieces, so big she couldn’t finish it. My other friend had the Chile Verde, perfectly seasoned, so tender it melted in your mouth. Great service, great atmosphere especially if you’re craving that homemade cooked meal feel.

Chips and salsa are the best… As well as beef tacos are very flavorful. Worth the visit!

It seems as the chef lacked salt to cook anything, seasoning was OK. The guacamole was great, tortillas ok, salsa Verde Carne, really lacking. Prices are off, must be the economy, but it’s over priced to me.

I loved this place, it was really good, the service, the food, the environment it was perfect for me. Prices are fair compared with other restaurants and they also have some park in the back. The food wasn’t spicy so I really liked that.

A friend told me about how good this place is and he was 100% correct! I couldn’t decide between tacos and the chicken mole (I love good mole…) and since I forgot my credit card the first evening, I went back the next evening as well…I must have subconsciously planned that out

Food was delicious and service was good and quick! FINALLY FOUND A GREAT MEXICAN RESTAURANT I CAN BRAG ABOUT. The atmosphere was so cute. This place is adorable for dinner, lunch or any meal. I’ve been there several times now and haven’t been disappointed. Took my husband and Mr picky LOVED IT! He said he is taking our whole family to have a good meal together. Cant wait!

Service is a bit on the slow side and I can’t really say much about any other dish besides the Machaca.

Yummy and soul soothing dishes for foodies and traditionalists alike! I had the pollo ranchero lunch special and the sauce was just the right balance of spicy and savory. The wait staff was very nice, helpful and efficient. The service was fast and we were in and out. It must be a popular place because it was packed for on a weekday even though it wasn’t the lunch rush. Parking was a bit of an issue too since their lot is small and street parking is very crowded as well.
