★★★★★ 5.0 Lisa & Wes Williams · Dec 2025

They have everything you would expect on the menu, plus things that matter. The Chicken Mole surpassed all expectations. Not too salty and just the right amount of cocoa. Everyone was friendly and attentive to anything we needed. We will definitely go back!

★★★★★ 5.0 AVERY DANZIGER · Dec 2025

Lived in Mexico off and on for approximately 20 years and the food here is authentic. I go for the red posole on Thursdays and it's as good as it gets. The staff is always very helpful and accommodating and very warm. The chile rellenos is excellent and the bistec empanizada (breaded flank steak) with ranchero sauce is one of my favorites! When you add the fact they make their own Aguas, (tamarindo, pepino, horachata etc.) it's a hard to beat combination and a real Jewel for our area!

★★★★★ 5.0 Mars Greeson · Aug 2025

Been here a few times and it never fails, amazing food every time! You do have to wait a bit for your food to come out, but everything comes out fresh.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Amanda Madison · May 2025

Love their set up. Small indoor seating area, a slightly larger covered outdoor patio and then a much larger patio with umbrellas. Food is good. Slightly hidden from the main thoroughfare in Hillsborough and worth the visit.

Great food ! Fish Tacos Chicken Mole Fresh tortillas are light and airy. The chicken flautas were amazing. Not oily crispy Would like a bit more filling personally. Shrimp Cebollas was delicious with flavor punch.
