“ Everything was fresh made. Even tho it was close to closing time the grill was still fired up. You can hear the meat sizzling on the grill and after a few minutes the food was at the table. The restaurant was very clean. Talking with the locals they keep coming back because the food is consistently good. ”
“ Awesome delicious food at a good price and friendly staff, a must return to try additional food. Attentive staff definitely made it a relaxing atmosphere and my cozy eating plus. Definitely recommend this particular place for sure. ”
“ This is some of the most delicious Mexican food you will ever find. Authentic flavor, great, friendly staff, fast service, and reasonable prices. The restaurant is always clean inside, too. I have been eating there for over a decade now. Everything is consistently fresh and hot, you'd be hard pressed to find better carne guisada anywhere in town, and I don't mean to brag, but I'm somewhat of a conneseur when it comes to beef tips in gravy. Servings are generous, sometimes I will take a third of my plate home for a snack later, but it's difficult most of the time when all that good food is right in front of you. I recommend this place to everyone I know, and now I recommend it to all of y'all. ”
“ The food speaks for itself. I LOVE the pastor. It's never spicy, which I enjoy. The waitresses, however, are NOT friendly unless you're a guy or a group of guys, and then you'll get their attention. ”
“ My go to Mexican restaurant. Every time I go the food is delicious and the service is pretty on point too! The chimichanga is amazing and giant! I can only ever eat a quarter of it. The chips and salsa are good and the salsa has just the right amount of kick to it. I always compare Mexican restaurants to this place now lol. ”
