“She had Carne en Chile de Arbol and I had an Al Pastor Burrito with a Pacifico Beer.”
She had Carne en Chile de Arbol and I had an Al Pastor Burrito with a Pacifico Beer. We love coming here for authentic Mexican food in Hermosa. It's legit. Everything was good except the steak was chewy and difficult to cut. The server was a little absent minded and brought water only by request. Not the best service I've received in the past. However, my plate was good and maybe it was a one off. Either way, I will likely return.

“From the moment I walked in I was in love, and it didn't end there.”
From the moment I walked in I was in love, and it didn't end there! I've been to my fair share of Mexican restaurants and very few can pull off this level of detail, decor and deliciousness! Everything was fresh, hot and full of love like there were 4 Abuelitas in the kitchen!

“Came with a group of five around closing time.”
Came with a group of five around closing time. Staff was cleaning for day. Everyone in the party received their correct drink and food orders, no complains here. The food was standard Mexican dishes, can't go wrong there. I realy liked the colorful chairs !The service was good and friendly. Would go back for lunch or dinner.
