Looking for authentic mouthwatering Mexican food? They have you covered. Every dish is Inspired by traditional recipes from Puebla and very delicious. My personal favorite is the steak tacos with freshly sliced avocado. You can eat in or carry out and the staff is very friendly. They also recently updated the interior with a vibrant mural and quotes.

Wow! This was an amazing place to eat! We chatted up with the owner Gill and had the taco plate and the enchiladas. Atmosphere was fun with the music and newly painted on the inside! Will definitely be coming back!

I go to the gym so I can eat whatever I want. Today, I had a major craving for Mexican food. I discovered this place and I ordered takeout. I had a fish taco plate with guac, rice, and beans. As well as a Cuban torta with an additional side of rice and beans. And what did you have dessert you might ask? A flan. Was it a lot of food? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely. I sometimes like to say: " We eat, and we don't judge." Everything was absolutely delicious and I have no complaints. The service was very mindful, very cutesy, very demure. I ended up with a food baby, and it was totally worth it. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you. 5/5

I needed to get Mexican food for a family of nine. Gil worked with me to figure out how much I needed. We also had many different food restrictions, like vegetarian (the beans are vegetarian) and gluten-free (the corn tortillas have only corn. No flour, in them) The family really liked what I ordered. I personally love the guacamole because it's not spicy. I will definitely order again.
