Best salsa in the world, excellent chips...home made! Great food! Restaurant, ambiance, everything about it makes for a great experience!

Best Mexican food I've ever had. Charming experience and nice server. Salsa is authentic and to die for. Sopas so tender and fluffy.

We were very pleased with the food and service. Authentic Mexican restaurant, food was good and the owner was very pleasant. It is truly a family atmosphere and nicely decoratedKid-friendliness: Our grandson who is 10 years old, really liked the food and he even played pool after dinner.

Food was amzing!! Drinks not so much. But I believe the waitress said they just got their liquor license so maybe they just need some time to perfect the drinks. To be seen

You can not fault the food and drink. Fresh and delicious! The service and seating were ok... but not 5 stars. I will certainly be back.

Had the taco dinner. Came with 3 Street tacos and a side of rice & beans. Also, got the horchata water. Food was flavorful and the horchata was very good. I got steak some bits had fat so chewing on it was not very pleasant. But overall it was good.

I really enjoyed the mole enchiladas from here and the tortillas. The queso was not what I expected, and I'm not sure I would recommend. It is not what you would think as something creamy but more solid. The taste of the food is great and portions are good.
We love this place! Authentic Mexican food and restaurant. People usually order out so we love coming here and enjoying the place with our daughter who LOVES the food. the Young lady who owns/cooks is very nice to our family. We just love good Mexican food!

Not sure what happened besides the obvious move from the west end of Hartford, but the food and service has declined considerably. Did the restaurant's management or ownership change hands? Went about a month ago and noticed it was starting to decline. I gave them the benefit of doubt thinking they might have just had an off night and that maybe the move to a mostly industrial area had something to do with the lack of patrons. However, going last night was a mistake. Arrived at 6:30ish to a once-again empty dining room. There was a few cars in the lot and the bar area had a few patrons. Music from the bar was obnoxiously louder than normal. We were greeted by the hostess who mumbled we could sit where we wanted. Waiter mumbled through our drink orders. Mumbled that they were out of chips and salsa. And after taking our order, came back to mumble they were also out of puerco. I'm fluently bilingual and could barely understand most of what he said. At this point, it was quite apparent how the rest of the experience would be. Appetizer we ordered (chicken quesadillas) were mediocre at best. Presentation was sloppy and they were served without utensils and with a small mound of sliced lettuce and chopped tomatoes. No sour cream (or explanation that maybe they were out?). No small plates for us to use so we just dug in and shared off the platter. Main courses came out. One daughter ordered carnitas tacos (mostly okay); other daughter ordered red enchiladas (she left about half of her plate after saying there was simply too much of a canned sauce taste). I ordered the milanesa chicken which wound up to be the thinnest and smallest breaded cutlet I've ever had. I'm talking almost paper thin and just as dry too. I wound up eating the rest of my daughter's enchiladas cause I was hungry and didn't want to complain or go elsewhere. The rice was over cooked and almost to a mush consistency. Beans were okay but definitely not the same as before. Tortillas were clearly store bought. Bill came to just over $50 which was normal for us. We didn't get a final receipt though and I just wound up taking a photo of the signed receipt. This did seem a bit sketchy, but I wanted to get out of there. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. I'd love to say I'd go back cause I love to support local businesses. I was so impressed when they were in the west end. But I just can't bring myself to doing so with other Mexican options closer to me.

As recent transplants to Connecticut from South Texas, we're especially eager to find good Mexican food that reminds us of home and our Mexican roots. Sadly, this place didn't do the job. Service, though friendly, was spotty, at best. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty, we had to wait a while for beverage service. Our server told us the kitchen was out of avocados and steak. Not a great start. Also, no Coke products. What kind of self-respecting Mexican eatery doesn't serve bottled Mexican Coke?!?Because it was a cold afternoon, I ordered caldo de res (beef soup) and my partner ordered menudo (tripe stew). He asked if it was very spicy and was told it wasn't. When he asked if he could have just a spoonful to sample, he was told it's against policy and that he'd have to pay for a portion if he wanted a taste. (We're learning that most South Texas customs don't translate to New England--something we understand and respect.)The food was O.K., but not special. Although the menudo turned out to be quite spicy, the rice that accompanied the soup and the stew was atypically bland. (And no tuétano in the caldo? What's caldo without bone marrow?) The meat in the caldo was too much bone and gristle, and too little meat I could dig into or roll into a taco with the off-the-shelf corn tortillas that are served. Finally, a note about prices, which are high, considering serving sizes. A small-ish bowl of soup is about $16, which, exorbitant by South Texas standards, appears to be the local average. My partner order a single taco to offset the spicy menudo. It never arrived. While we're glad we tried another one of the relatively few Mexican places in Greater Hartford, we won't be returning to this one any time soon.

Amazing food and service. The prices were very reasonable for this fantastic family owned business. We will be back to try more.

Nestled in the middle of a warehouse district south of Downtown Hartford is a newly built restaurant with traditional decor and great food . Highly recommend for people that want authentic Mexican varieties.
