Nice decor and very friendly staff. I know most people wouldn’t consider the refried beans as an important factor in judging a Mexican restaurant, but I do. They were VERY tasty. The green chicken enchiladas were also excellent, and the chorizo taco was great. The only downside would be the prices. It’s just too expensive to go as frequently as I would like to, but it was a very pleasant experience.

Amazing! Our family stopped in to try this place for dinner when the restaurant next door was too busy. We were more than happy with our decision! We all ordered something different and it was all fresh and delicious. We had burritos, green chicken enchiladas, nachos, chips and salsa and street tacos. The service was super friendly and they even brought us free dessert! The tres leches was fantastic! We will definitely be back!!!

I was in the area and was looking for a quick bite to eat. I decided to stop in and was planning to get take out and eat at home, but after striking up a conversation with the staff I decided to dine in. The restaurant is brightly decorated and there is an appropriate amount of seating for the space. All of the food was handmade to order and I was amazed at the speed that it was delivered. I had the asada tacos with rice and beans and they were amazing! I even ordered extra rice for my sister at home. The workers were very polite and warm and even offered me a sample when I couldn’t decide what I wanted. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants delicious Mexican!

This is a family owned restaurant that has friendly service and great food. I don’t understand some of the negative reviews. Been here numerous times and every time it was great. Everything is made fresh, even the chips. The guacamole is excellent. Tacos have generous portions of meat. Birria is great. Everything we’ve eaten was very good. Give this new place a try

Soo good! This food was so delicious. We ordered several menu items and loved every one of them. The people working were so friendly and gave us some samples. They were so happy and thankful. This was a 10/10 experience and we will definitely be coming back regularly!

My coworker and I had lunch here today and it was truly delectable! Growing up with authentic Mexican food made by my mom and my tias, I recognized the flavor and style. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for a new Mexican spot. We also had shots of tequila and were offered to sample their passionfruit margarita which hit the spot. Very friendly and welcoming service, thank you!

I didn’t even know about this place until they came to my work to give out free samples! That alone is amazing and such a great way to market their delicious food. They have surely gained a new customer. The flavor of the steak alone is to die for! Definitely a must try!

This new place that opened in the summer of 2022 has the homey aura of a mom and pop operation — because that’s exactly what it is. Since we aren’t familiar with the finer points of Mexican cuisine other than tacos, the owners took the time to explain what the dishes were and what went into them. The quesabirrias were a delicious new experience for us (a cross between a taco and a quesadilla). The chicken burrito was large enough to be satisfying without being overly huge. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. Our aging palates lean toward the milder side, so we forewent the two sauces (hot and hotter). Although we don’t drink, we saw an extensive selection of tequilas. We’ll be back.
