My first time here, so many choices in this beautiful French market, so I decided on two tostadas from this restaurant. The owner was most gracious and the best chicken tostada I've ever had from an authentic Mexican restaurant. The flavors were fresh and amazing from the first bite to the last! The owner even came into the seated dining area to make sure that I was pleased with my food! I couldn't stop talking about the flavors because I'm always eating Mexican food and every chicken tostada to date has been stringy meat covered up with sauce, not this place, I could eat the chicken and steak by itself and still be satisfied!!!! My first choice was a great one and the price was not bad at all!👍🏾

“10/10 best taco I’ve had.”

“I wish I found this place sooner.”

I wish I found this place sooner! No line, but still took a while to make. Why? Because they make it fresh for you while you wait and when you finally get to eat it, it doesn't taste like Chipotle or Qdoba - it tastes like something you can make at home, but spicy, even if you ask for mild! Even though there was lettuce, they don't just use it as filler, every ingredient is wonderfully proportioned and they don't skimp. I'll definitely eat from here again.

The owner was extremely accommodating to my gluten allergy. Even though there was a line, he made sure the cook top was clean for me. This meant the world to me. I really enjoy getting lunch here and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious, local, fast lunch in the French Market!

“This time I had shrimp enchiladas supreme and as always, the food is delicious.”

This time I had shrimp enchiladas supreme and as always, the food is delicious. Obviously a homemade rich sauce. Quality of the ingredients is great and food is well-seasoned. Will be back soon.
