"This is the best place is New Haven for authentic Mexican food. I’ve been here twice and will be coming back! The staff are super friendly. Would def recommend!"

"Too dark inside the restaurant. Was offered chips and salsa while waiting and it seemed it was courtesy of the house since it was a really small basket only to see it charged on our ticket. The menu prices on some items were crossed out in marker and handwritten more expensive. When I asked if the plate had all the ingredients listed they told me they're not like that anymore, so description on menu is inaccurate. Servings were small and took too long to receive considering there were only 2 customers at the restaurant. The 2 stars is because my cocktail was delicious."

"One visit but I will be back. The chips were good, a bit on the dense side but that's good for those like me who may need to fill up a little before your meal. The salsa was good. The guacamole was good. The beef burrito without the potato was good, although some of the ingredients were on the cool side which gave the burrito a cool spot that could have been avoided. But still good nonetheless. The food was also very timely. The server was attention, maybe ALMOST a little too attentive, but I'm sure if there were more people to serve it would be just fine. And he was pleasant as well. The place is a bit dimly lit, a bit on the small side but on par with most Mexican restaurants I've been to. The red and white vinyl table cloth is a bit tacky but again something I'm used to seeing at Mexican spots. The menu is also a bit sparse but not something unexpected either. Oh the room temperature tap water is the only bad spot of my visit. Especially taking into consideration that the tap water was the least pleasant part of the visit, I will definitely be back. Hopefully I remember to try a different dish. Oh ps Mexican music the entire visit :) cumbias."
