Wow! I could stop there but I won't. First, the staff is awesome! Beautiful, friendly, and they can cook! My wife had the tamales with a bowl of chili. The best chili I've ever tasted that wasn't strictly homemade. I had pork in sauce with beans and rice, along with corn tortillas and a flour tortilla. I guess you could eat better Mexican food but you would have to be invited to their house! The meat was tender and the sauce is perfectly seasoned! The beans were, well, they were beans. Good but just beans. And the rice was about the same. However, if you desire real, authentic Mexican food, this is the place for you. Wow, wow, wow! Also, all the tips right now go to help with medical expenses for a person who is battling pancreatic cancer, so bring your wallet and open heart! Oh yeah, ther

Very nice, quaint "foodie paradise" with homemade tamales. Their salsa was the perfect addition to a very friendly atmosphere. Feels like walking into your own family's kitchen 😋 Worthy of the wait for delicious food 😄
