★★★★☆ 4.0 Antony Schutz · Oct 2025

We tried this restaurant Mexican for the first time, following all the good reviews. It was overall a good experience but it does not deserve a five star rating because the burrito, which is a standard for this kind of restaurant, was disappointing. Too much rice, not enough of the rest. So yes, it was copious, but tasteless. We also tried the pork ribs with red salsa sauce and it was very good, probably because listed as house dish. In general, I would recommend this place because the quality of the food is good but avoid burritos if they keep the same recipe.

We placed an order this evening and were very happy with the food. It was delicious, authentic, and super fresh. We placed an order for birria tacos, Barbacoa, a combination ranchera and also a chorizo torta. All of the food was delicious but the birria tacos were my favorite. They were so full, tasty and fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to order take out or if you want somewhere local to eat.

i love this place. Its not easy to find unless you are looking for it. Small place but really nice. This place is super authentic. Price and Portions are amazing! The items i get are a touch spicy but its perfect for me. My wife isn't a fan of Mexican food so she usually just gets a chicken quesadilla and she says its great

Authentic Mexican. Very fresh. Absolutely delicious. My group tried the tacos, burrito, enchiladas, and fajitas. Will return.

I’ve been a regular at this establishment, visiting about 3-4 times a month. No matter the time or day, it’s always empty, and I’ve continued to support them intentionally. However, after my experience today, I will not be returning. I typically order the shrimp tacos with rice and beans, plus a side of pico de gallo (which comes with an upcharge). The total is usually around $27. This time, I asked for an additional lime wedge, and to my surprise, they wanted to charge me for it. I understand that businesses need to make a profit, but nickel-and-diming loyal customers feels unnecessary and ungrateful. When I mentioned my issue to the woman at the register, her response was simply, “Nothing is free.” Message received. I’ll be taking my business elsewhere. It’s baffling to lose a customer
