“I didn’t even know this place existed until today, after all these years 🤔 …. I had the combination plate and it was delicious 😋 I will definitely be back with my family to try more of their menu….”

“Good authentic Mexican food & friendly customer service. Would recommend.”

“Walked in said hello (at the counter/register).. not one but two of the servers (one male, one female) walked right past me and didn’t even asked if I needed assistance or much less say hello in return! Do better!”

“Tried this place again and I should’ve learned my lesson $$$ they brought me used and half eaten pico de gallo🤢 overpriced and the food was very bad actually worst than then first time I went. I spent almost 100 dollars on 3 tacos a torta and some horrible hotdog floating carne en su jugo. I’ll cook at home for $100 bucks”
