Amazing authentic food! Even the food truck guys came here and ordered lunch! Seriously, so good! Cute atmosphere, too.
Absolutely delicious, authentic Mexican. So happy to have found it. Great service and decor as well.

Only downside: they said they had queso, but what came out was more like a watery melted cheddar situation—not good. Definitely skipping that next time. Other than that, everything else hit the spot!
