We ordered some camarones a la diabla and camarones al mojo de ajo and those were great. The only thing I did not like is that they put yellow cheese on everything. They put it on top of the beans and even a quesadilla that I ordered. This is the first “mexican food” place that I have ever seen use yellow cheese on a quesadilla.

They’ll forget about you and make you wait an hour for two items, meanwhile everyone else in the restaurant will be getting their food, eating and leaving before they even look your way. This has happened to me three times now, I will not be returning. I used to come here weekly, sometimes multiple times a week, but I can’t abide the poor quality of service.

A smaller restaurant with good food choices for brunch. They make their own chips and tortillas. The tortillas have a satisfying crunch and flavor. The flautas take a bit of extra time so plan ahead.

Came here to eat while doing laundry next door. Best decision! Chips and salsa are freshly made and something you won’t find at most places. The food was good all around and very friendly service! Definitely give this place a try!
