"Excellent authentic Mexican restaurant! Our server was very accommodating and was able to make me a vegetarian quesadilla even though it wasn't on the menu. It was delicious and the ingredients tasted fresh. The restaurant provided free chips and salsa for the table, as well as two homemade hot sauces. The salsa was some of the best I've had in a while. You could tell it was freshly made in house. Pro tip: add the hot sauce to it for a little more heat!"

"Wow! This place surpassed all expectations. You can taste the passion in this food. The ingredients are fresh, the salsas are immaculate! Our waitress was amazing as well. Very sweet and helpful. This place is a must and really adds to the area. We ordered the tacos and burrito. I would eat anything from this menu. They have some dishes that not all Mexican restaurants offer around here. Amazing place"

"Some of the BEST birria tacos I’ve ever had! Stuffed with all the good meat and cheese! Absolutely delicious—we will definitely be back for more."

"Found this little tucked away spot for a late lunch, and we were impressed! The service was excellent, as was the food. We will be back the next time we are in the area!"

"Food experience: 1/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 2 carne asada dishes were ordered; the steak was very dry and had the consistency of beef jerky. It was practically unedible. The tortilla's served on the side seemed overcooked as they were very chewy. Cactus came with the order as well (presented on top of the steak) but visually, it was very off-putting. (The shape and cut of an octopus). this was the experience for both dishes. The service however, was excellent. The waitress was very friendly, accommodating to our needs, and sympathetic to our complaints. she offered not only to replace the protein with a different beef option, but even after we had our checks she offered one of the dessert options for free."
