This food is delicious and portions abundant. Food, Service and price are excellent. Highly recommend this place!!!! Every dish was excellent. Mexican ranch sauce is so good too. Camarones con arroz is amazing. Fourteen shrimp, squash, zucchini over a bed of delicious rice with white sauce. Try it. It’s plenty to share!

Food was so good and the service was so nice. Highly recommend the stop. Large portions you get more than your monies worth.
Saw some reviews online and decided to try them out. We are not disappointed! The parrillada is wonderful! One order is more than enough for two, and we really like the sweet ranch dip. The atmosphere is very authentic!

We got takeout and when I arrived the host was about to give our order to another customer. He noticed the error and gave me the bag. As I was leaving the the parking lot he came dashing up with the rest of our food in another bag.The food was decent but not amazing.

Felt like a truly Mexican restaurant. Our food was awesome and service was excellent! Huge portions!! The Mexican white sauce is incredible, I've never tasted anything like it. They definitely need a bigger parking lot.
