This small Mexican restaurant has amazing food that comes out pretty quickly! I recommend the Burrito Mexicana for a classic burrito (very filling). They also have Mexican candies/drinks up front. The staff are attentive and the restaurant is decorated well. Have to go through two sets of doors to get inside and single stall bathrooms (wheelchair accessible). It is in a strange location but I would definitely return.

I could only imagine how it would be running both! Everytime I’ve seen this lady she’s always got a welcoming smile!!!! Keep it up lady your doing a great job!!!!!

I had 4 kinds of street tacos. All were amazing, one was beef tongue which is great to see offered. Hot sauce was clearly homemade and far superior than any glass bottle you put on the table. It is near family and will be stopping by any chance I get.
