“ Really solid Mexican food and great salsas. Their tortas always hit the spot. The staff is friendly and their prices are very fair as well. Surprised to read some of these reviews, literally every restaurant has gone up in price the past few years. Other Mexican restaurants in the area charge the same. Even taco bell is up there now. ”

“ My go to order - Steak burrito, no tomato, with sour cream and avocado. I could eat this everyday, it is sooooo good. The problem is, it is so good I can't break away to try something else.- LOL. My husband has tried the flautas meal, chorizo and egg burrito and beef burrito. Everything was great!! The flavors are authentic and everything is made fresh! Today we tried a tamale and it was one of the best ones I have ever had anywhere. Everyone there is friendly and the place is clean. Best Mexican restaurant with great prices. Highly reccomend! ”
