★★★★★ 5.0 LucyEva Alvarez · Oct 2025

We've been ordering from them for the past couple of years now and love love their quality. My go-to is caldo de res w extra veggies (beef soup) 😋 seriously have it a couple times per week. Their rice is perfection, flavorful and not too salty. We've tried out various things and they're all very well seasoned and carefully thought out. We've had issues w an order once bc the door dasher spilled it and they were so friendly about everything. It's nice when restaurants don't get defensive and understand that we're just trying to eat their food! Lol keep up the great work! 👏 We're here for it 🥳

★★★★☆ 4.0 Joyful · Aug 2025

First Visit—came in around 3:30pm, quiet, yet hard to find a team member. I chose to sit on one of the two patios so kinda isolated. It would be nice when busy—maybe more of a lively atmosphere. But the Food is so Fresh and made to order. Large portions—look at the photo of my plate—Chimichanga with double beans, no rice. It was delicious and the chips and salsa are good, chips are hot and fresh. They also have a couple other salsas that add a lot of heat and are tasty. They don’t have a Liquor License, so no real margaritas (they make it with wine). They serve wine and beer. Service was slow, but very friendly. Parking is small and I noticed some parking there and walking across the street—to a medical facility, I think. I def will return and recommend this Local, Authentic Mexican Restau

Very welcoming restaurant. We, the PTSA, have a great relationship with the owner so we have meetings here, when we can. They made sure to clear a private room for us, which was super nice. The waitresses were so wonderful. They asked us if it was okay giving every person a check separately by name, which was so, so helpful. Due to their organization, quick service, and friendly staff, I have already planned another meeting there, in the future. Also, the food was amazing. The Quesobirria was so good. I wanted to order another one for home, when I left.

★★★★★ 5.0 Caleb Edwards (MaskCasper) · Apr 2025

This place was absolutely wonderful! The staff was incredibly friendly, and the food was beyond delicious. We started with the ceviche, which was fresh and flavorful, served with chips and salsa — a perfect beginning. For our main dishes, we had a variety: the tostada and tamale combo plate, beef and carne asada chimichangas, and the best quesabirria tacos we've ever had. Even the kids' menu items were hot, fresh, and tasty. A special shoutout to their house hot sauces — both the green and red were amazing. The green sauce, likely made with poblano peppers, was spicy and packed with flavor. The red sauce had a milder kick but was equally delicious. Overall, everything was fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. We will definitely be dining here again!

We’ve lived in the area for quite some time but somehow skipped over this spot. I’m so glad we finally checked it out because its one of our regulars now. Food is always fresh, authentic flavors, and friendly attentive service. My favorite is the breakfast del rancho (breakfast enchiladas) The outdoor seating is pleasant and quiet. Recently took a chance and visted for mother’s day. We were warned of the 45 min wait for food but felt it was worth it. We could tell they were slammed but it was still an enjoyable and delicious experience. My family left full and happy.
