I host a taco Tuesday ride on motorcycles every week during the summer for the past 15 years, been to hundreds of places within a 75 mile radius, I came in with high expectations and left completely satisfied. I was surprised on how delicious the food was here and I’ll definitely be back and spread the word and place this on a must go place on our next ride to all the guys.
What a pleasant surprise! Food was good, service was good. Large experience in a small place. We will be back!
First time here, at the recommendation of a neighbor. Food was delicious and filling! Salsa and chips were fresh! Pictures are of the chimichanga and Mexican sandwich. Waitress was awesome, very attentive and friendly.
Awesome catering, I ordered taco bar for 15 people and 20 enchiladas. It was 243 and we had lots of leftovers. The enchiladas were awesome. Best rice and beans. Everyone said the queso was amazing. I will definitely order catering from them again.
One of the best Mex restaurants ever..just stopped in after living out here for yrs.. Didn't realize it was there but GLAD l stopped because the food was delicious! !
Glad to have found a good local birria place! Ever since trying these it’s become my go-to plate. Decent prices. Wait staff was very nice and food was good. Will return!
My husband and I called last night at 8:52pm.... they close at 9. We took a chance because they are the only Mexican place that sells good shrimp tacos near us, shrimp tacos i actually like are so hard to find! They let us order anyway even though they were about to close (so kind) and it was super fresh. Thank you guys so much! We're happy to be loyal customers
EXCELLENT CHIPS AND SALSA!! At home I usually get carryout and I can say every time I try something different, it's delicious, but I do have a few favorites, chimichanga ! Tacos, nachos! the tostada is a meal in itself! Love their menu, so many great flavors. Thanks for being in our neighborhood!
