The food was fantastic. A huge portion, that lasted 2 days. The Margarita was enormous. Outstanding service. I will go back many more times
Wonderful place! My preggo cravings wanted a particular dish a certain way and when it didn’t come out right the first time, the owner took it upon himself to make it for me and better! He even brought out an extra quesadilla because my son had thrown his on the floor. Staff is amazing and very kind and just want to make sure you enjoy what your are eating and go out of their way to make you happy. We will be back and with more family! Thank you for the wonderful experience it means a lot!
10/10 food, we had a great time and our server was amazing.
One of our favorite spots! Great food, with large portions at an affordable price!
It was pretty much one of the best mex rest that I've been. Why? because most of they're plates include avocado and not stingy with it. The soup also had avocado. Large variety in the menu.
Never complained about this place. Always been great.
Stopped in after a doctors appointment and there were not that many people. Although the hostess was a bit serious our waiter was amazing! He was very polite and helpful. My husband had the costillas plate and I had the mole ranchero with a side of beans. We both had agua de Jamaica and then we were also given a spicy salsa. Everything was delicious and fresh. The service was amazing. Will definitely be returning.
