If you have not visited this place you really should, if only to try out their pork stew!!! It is absolutely lick your plate clean delicious. Traditional Mexican dish that is a rare find in the area. The owners are super friendly, and care about you whole experience at their restaurant.

First time here and was impressed. Great margarita, friendly service. Will definitely go back and recommend to others.

So I'm going to keep this simple. They support Zootropic, they make fresh real food with fresh ingredients and they are attentive and hard working at giving you the ideal experience. I cut meat for a living and I have a penchant for chuck roast. Their quesadilla has a rich flavor of pot roast and it's almost overpowering. Their fryer oil is clean and thus their chips and all fried foods are delightfully light and crispy with a flavor you want one more bite of. Then there's the horchata... If you like Latin Cuisine with a fun environment and reasonable prices then drop by. I for one am not a lover of Latin food but my wife is and she loves coming here. The horchata alone will have me back. Good job guys, I see your hustle.

We had flautas and steak quesadillas. They were hot, delicious and they paired well with the homemade horchata and pineapple water. Thanks for a lovely meal!! We will be back. SOON!!

I ordered tacos, and I didn't like it. Specifically, Taco al pastor is not good at all

awesome local spot. i live in the city so i’d like to think i know great mexican food and this place holds up. the hospitality is amazing, the guy gave me a free cup of pozole to try on the house because I wasn’t sure about it since i don’t love pork and it was so warm and comforting! i ordered the maya quesadilla which had some tender, flavorful beef in it. the owner takes care to know his customers and is passionate about getting people to try new foods, which I love. ps wish i could rate in half stars - this place is totally a 4.5 at least

Hidden gem. The chicken burrito is very good. Plus the shredded beef tacos ar equally as good.

My car was stuck in the snow right in front of their store. Three men walked out with shovels and started helping me. Seriously the most KIND people ever. I go here all the time, but them helping me made me love them even more. Definitely go here! They will treat you like family

Didn’t taste like authentic Mexican food. I have no idea what type of steak they use for the tacos it definitely wasn’t skirt steak and the meat smelled weird. nor the rice wasn’t good. don’t understand how this place has 4 point in a half stars.

This place is amazing. I went there because a friend suggested it. I had the Mexican Pork Stew. Being a chef myself there are few things that I am blown away by, and this was a dish that did that. The right amount of heat and depth of flavor that is rare in a restaurant. Tasted like a home cooked meal. I will return.
