This is truly one of the best Mexican restaurants around. The atmosphere is simple and as stated in other reviews, the seating is limited. The service was relatively fast and pleasant.
What we ordered is listed below. Everything was fresh, delicious and the platters were balanced and well presented. It is clear that there is an underlying culinary passion at this restaurant that is rarely found these days. Reasonable prices make this an ideal spot for lunch or dinner.
When in the mood for Mexican food, this restaurant is very likely to satisfy.

The place is tucked away in an unassuming corner of a strip mall. Parking could be an issue on a busy night as they share their lot with other businesses who's spaces are all labeled. (Parking in rear of building). The interior is small but with tasteful decor and a welcoming ambiance., The seating capacity is less than 30 so be prepared to wait. The food is authentic, quick and tastes great. Portions were fair, service can be somewhat slow as there is usually only one waiter working. He makes up for it with stellar service and mixing up great drinks. I would repeat.
Everything was fantastic, from the free tortilla...
Everything was fantastic, from the free tortilla chips served at the beginning of the meal, to the excellent appetizer, to the delicious burrito I personally ate as an entree. My mother had the chimichangas, which she also loved.
A special mention is necessary for the deep fried ice cream, which is probably one of the two best desserts I have ever eaten. Better than in any other Mexican restaurant.
The food here was great, but the service was the...
The food here was great, but the service was the worst I have ever had in my life. My husband and I went here to celebrate a recent event, and it was pretty much ruined because of the bad service. It took forever for them to take our order. The appetizer we ordered was not made the way we requested it. We had to request silverware and water several times before getting it, and ended up sharing water because they didn't even bring us 2 glasses. The sangria was not great for a drink that cost $8. The servers were incredibly inattentive, got our order wrong in several areas, and did not apologize in any way. The food was not cheap either. I was extremely disappointed.
I loved this place, the food was very authentic...
I loved this place, the food was very authentic. They provided salsa and nachos, and i think they need to bottle and sell it because its soo yummy.
We are empanadas for appetizer, but the main course was definitely the big highlight, i had Chimichongas as my entree, and they were fanastic, my boyfriend ate the Enchiladas and loved it, and the sides were soo good, i look forward to a second visit, although the service may be a little slow, its definitely worth the wait!
The food was soo good, very authentuic mexican
the service was good very kind people.
if you go there the best desert to have is the fried ice cream. its heaven
