If you’re looking for a wonderful place to have that Sunday family dinner or just a quick bite this is the place. The folks at this place will take good care of all your needs. The portions are large and if you leave hungry it is not their fault. I has the Arros special. Super fresh. So tasty. I highly recommend.

TL;DR: Try the Birria Tacos. We stopped in about an hour before they closed for a meal on a trip through town. We were curious about a Mexican restaurant we didn't recognize, and it's become our new favorite for the Kennett area. I had the Birria Tacos. They were exceptional. The flavor was full, the broth was delicious and the tacos were crisp but not crunchy until dipped. My wife had loaded fries (loaded with chicken and cheese). She loved it. I tried a bite and the chicken was well seasoned, tender and cheesey. Luckily the fries were also decently crispy as well. My daughter had a chicken and cheese quesadilla and she liked it enough that I didn't get to try any. Above all perhaps, our server was cheerful and on point for the entire meal. We are going to make this a regular stop on

The first Mexican restaurant I've been to in years that didn't look the same as the rest and offer the same menu! The food and service were good. We had a large group and they accommodated it well. Would definitely return if I lived closer!

The service was good and the atmosphere was impressive and the food was good but it was a bit under seasoned. I ordered a fajita pineapple dish that included steak, chicken and shrimp inside half of a pineapple. Again, it was good but could've been seasoned better

Prices are outrageous. I paid over $60.00 for 3 people. They are charging luxury restaurant prices for generic Mexican food. Highway robbery. Don't go here!!!
