Came here with a group of friends and we absolutely loved it! The food was great, we had the pumpkin and chicken tamales and they were very delicious! The service was excellent, we also ordered the filet mignon fajitas, large enough to share and very good! The owner came to the table and he was so kind and friendly! We will be back!

Very friendly manager/owner, excellent service, explained the different sauces and options. The sauces are definitely the star of the show. Each one distinctive; poblano, roasted pepper, red sauce. OMG some of the best we've had.
