We have been here multiple times but never tried their Taco Tuesday until today. It’s freaking delicious…the Roja and Verde sauce combined was Devine…Extra spicy on TACOS..the best! 🌮 🌶️ We will definitely be coming back to this place ALWAYS…🤩👌

Horrible customer service. I called as a new customer to try this place because I heard so much about it, but the woman who answered was very rude. I simply asked about the special of the day, and she kept saying it was on the Facebook page. It was frustrating because I was just trying to get information, but her tone was disrespectful, as if she was speaking to a child. Very rude and disappointing. If possible, I would give zero stars. I can’t believe this. They've lost a new customer. I hope the restaurant addresses this and replaces that employee, as she was extremely disrespectful. I can’t imagine her behavior in person.

Visited for the first time today at lunch. This place is amazing. Their soft tacos offer many choices of meat filling. I especially liked the chorizo and the beef tongue. Presentation of the food is first-rate. Entrees are served with rice and beans, and some of them come with grilled vegetables as well. We will return in a few days, because their menu is so extensive.

Check this place out, but be sure to ask for ALL menus! They have seafood that is out of this world...crab legs, oysters on the half shell, ceviche, shrimp... Haven't tried their traditional Mexican fare but will go back again and again for the seafood. If you like horseradish or cocktail sauce with your seafood you'll need to take your own because they only offer melted butter, salsa or hot sauce, but the salsa was a decent substitute. Their menu is very extensive and also includes authentic Mexican options. Their salsa is some of the best I've had. Not a fancy place at all, but it doesn't need to be. We ordered oysters on the half shell and steamed crab legs and they didn't disappoint!The food is fantastic!

Great tasting food! The portions are HUGE and everything always tastes fresh. Small dining area but nice music. This plate is Chorri Pollo.
