★★★★☆ 4.0 Dan Herrick · Jan 2026

If youre looking for authentic Mexican, this is a good place to check out. However, I wasn't necessarily looking for authentic Mexican and when I ordered my food they did not listen to me. I asked for a crunchy ground beef taco and they gave me a chicken flauta.i then ordered ground beef Verde enchiladas and they served me chicken enchiladas, when I complained, they gave me chorizo enchiladas, and they were disgusting. I ate the chicken ones I was served first but didnt like them. I won't go back but I think if youre looking for authentic Mexican, not mexican american Mexican food, you might like this place.

Best tacos in Monroe or Trumbull, don’t sleep on those tortas either. Friendly staff and reasonable prices, been a favorite in our house for years.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 OEl · Jan 2026

This is usually my family’s go to spot for a quick bite to eat. We enjoy the burritos and the agua Frescas. We’ve had better Mexican food but this one is close for whenever we’re in a pinch. Unfortunately, there have been a handful of times where the lady taking the phone orders has been rude, but I normally let it slide. This time, she hung up before I even finished placing the order. Such a disappointment. We will be taking our business and money elsewhere. Even if we have to drive a little further, it will be well worth it, so we don’t have to deal with the pointless attitudes at this restaurant.

Crazy delicious food with a home-cooked feel. I make it a point to go out of my way to grab a breakfast sandwich here at least once per week. Double egg, cheese, and homefries with hot sauce... tastes like a NY breakfast sandwich (iykyk)

★★★★★ 5.0 Melissa Ann · Jul 2022

This is my new favorite place to eat! I love Mexican food and places are honestly a hit or a miss in my experience. This place is authentic. I went with my sister and sadly I cannot remember the name of my dish. It was sliced steak with peppers and onions and was served with rice, beans, pico, and avocado. It was delicious! The steak was seasoned so well! So I had to go back and try the steak burrito. It's not the best picture, I ordered to go but man it was the best burrito I've ever eaten. This place is a must!
