“ I completely forgot about this place until some chick, who drives a yellow car, kept posting her dozens of pictures of her fancy enchiladas and planting that seed in my stomach! Bless her! I was pressed for time today and didn't want to head north... a busy day of Medicare clients, the food had to get in. The service was excellent so if you know some Spanish it's gonna help because this is pretty authentic cooking! Even their chips and salsa was pretty amazing. The tortillas are very thin, fried perfectly at the right temperature, not even greasy.... The salsa was flavored perfectly and not too salty. The shredded chicken taco was moist and flavorful, nice and juicy which is how I like it!! In short, the food was delicious and the service great! Will definitely be coming back more often, because you know, I work out! Pecs and biceps are like little demanding children and they need to EAT or they just won't shut up! :) -G ”
“ This place has very good ethnic Mexican dishes this my all time favorite place to go with family and friend. Y'all have to give it a try:) ”
“ Large group for lunch nicely accommodated. It was the first time here for the Ladies Who Lunch, and we all agreed the food was excellent. Good service. Food came out well plated and in a timely manner. I was delighted to find that they serve carnitas and even offer to cook the meat "crispy," which was perfect on my burrito. Also enjoyed a large glass of horchata, not something I can find at all Mexican restaurants. Once upon a time this building was a Wendy's Hamburgers. Large parking lot with handicapped spots should you need that. Large dining room which is able to accommodate groups and individuals. We did have to ask for the music volume to be turned down as we were a large group so had trouble hearing one another. Waitstaff took very good care of us. ”
“ Food- on point. Not over cooked or anything. Ordered fajita mixta consisting of shrimp, beef, and chicken. We of course got her michelada too. It's a must. Service- excellent. We were greeted right away and offered seating within minutes. It was semi busy but the staff was still very pleasant and seemed least bit stressed. Ambience- typical of your Mexican restaurant. Good vibe and good music not too low but enough to converse without yelling too. ”
“ We've somehow gotten past the communication barrier of the past. We order in English, wonder what we're going to end up with and it's been spot on the last few visits. Happy face! The chips and salsa here are so good, as are their enchiladas (the sauce is BOMB and they use so much cheese!). Give them a try if you haven't already, or if it's been a while. ”
