If you love authentic Mexican food, this is a great place to try. It’s extremely small inside (and old) but the food is like you went to their home for dinner…so tasty!We tried the chipotle chicken and the taco dinner. Both were freshly prepared and very reasonably priced for the decent portion sizes. Everything was so flavorful. Chips & salsa were good too. Not many beverage choices; and it appears to be a family owned/operated business. Go try it!

Food was bland. No hard menus, online menu doesn't give you any options. Place is really too small and cramped. All the back parking says reserved for the bar next door. Very little street parking. No diet drink options only bottle Sam's club water. Walls are also dirty. I had a lot of hope given all the reviews online.Dietary restrictions: They only have water if you can't have sugar. No diet options.Wheelchair accessibility: Has a few seats available but so cramped you can't navigate through.

I have eaten at this restaurant many times. i'm a good customer for them and have typically been really happy with their food, atmosphere, and service. Unfortunately the last 3 times that I've been there, I had to ask if I could have the chips that they normally put on the table at no charge while guests wait for their meals. And not only did I have to ask, but the young man working said "sorry, we don't have any made" (each of these 3 times!). Tonight he then said "did you still want some?" I said that yes, I'd like some please. He responded: "I'll check if we have any", and then never brought me any. But then, on all of those occasions, I saw the woman/cook serve other guests, who came in after me, those chips!I asked him (this last time/tonight) " I thought you didn't have any chips? But that table was just brought some chips." He said "yeah we had to make them. We have to make a batch each time/for each customer/table". Ummm... okay..why weren't they made for me then?? Again, this has happened more than once! It just demonstrates laziness, and is not good business to treat repeat, good, pleasant customers this way.It's a shame. Really disappointing, and made a huge difference in my opinion of their restaurant now. Bummer.

We went here with a group of friends and had a great time! The restaurant is cozy, the service was great, and the food. The food was amazing! Do yourself a favor and get the Mole' enchiladas! They were the best! The mole' had a nice mellow heat to them. The protein was excellent and not dry. The Orchata was handmade and not too sweet. We will all be going back!

Honestly the food was great. The owners are lovely, I'll continue eating here. On one of my visits, a young waiter who took our order was kind of rude, though. I ordered the Tostadas, and I guess I didn't say it with the right accent because I got laughs and giggles in response. Understandable, it's funny to hear people try and say words they don't know, I get it. As someone who's been in customer service, I thought that was a bit unnecessary. Would have been really helpful to just hear the waiter say the dish correctly, instead of making fun of me for how I said it. Can you even mess up the pronunciation of Tostadas? Apparently you can ? I said it how I'd always heard it at other restaurants. Guess I'll have to try again next time ?
Delicious, authentic Mexican food in a small casual atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: Front door is at sidewalk/street level; back door is at bottom of stairs at parking lot level. Dining room is close quarters, would be difficult to navigate in a wheelchair.

My husband and I came in for dinner at 7:15pm on a Saturday. There was only 1 other table finishing up eating. We asked the staff if we sat ourselves since there was no hostess. We were clearly being ignored and then finally the waitress came up and we asked her if we seat ourselves. She was clearly very annoyed we were there (rolling her eyes and checking the time). We double checked their hours prior to going out for dinner and even their website says they are open till 10. Will never come back here, which is a shame because we live near this restaurant and was hoping for a positive experience.

My wife and I stopped in at 7:15 pm on a Saturday night. The place was pretty dead. We asked if we were to seat ourselves or wait to be seated by a hostess. The waitress looked so annoyed and mad that we dropped in to eat. When I asked her a second time if we should find our own seat or wait to be sat, she looked at her watch, rolled her eyes, and told us to sit wherever we want. Their website says they close at 10 pm so we didn’t think we were out of line by trying to eat at 7:15 pm but the staff seemed very annoyed by us. With the staff behaving like that, we decided to leave and find another place to eat.I’d highly highly highly recommend never coming here just due to their horrible staff.
