Our first time trying this restaurant. Super friendly owner and super clean establishment. Authentic Mexican food.We both ordered La Unica Bowl with cochinita pulled pork. The food itself was extremely fresh and well prepared. However, the pulled pork was EXTREMELY salty. Burn your mouth kind of salty . It was so salty, it affected the enjoyment of the meal. Perhaps this was a mistake. We are willing to try again, but if this amount of salt is the norm, we will not be returning ?

Ordered delivery and half was completely inedible and thrown out. Enjoyed fish taco and beef burrito. Flautas, beef taco, chicken tacos, guacamole were inedible.

Everything was great! Definitely don't skip the street corn, it's phenomenal and will keep us coming back. The churros were also a great sweet ending to the meal.

Absolutely delicious food!!! My favorite was the fish taco and the beef empanada. The flan was creamy and with the perfect baked caramel flavor. Horchata was super delicious and quite the surprise. The service was formidable, with attention to detail and very interested in our satisfaction. Our new Mexican restaurant for sure!!

The tacos were really flavorful I wanted to keep eating. We also had their desserts they hit the spot too. Our favorites were Baja Fish and Asada taco. I also recommend their house speciality Cochinita Pibil. I will definetly have difficulty to choose on my next order since everything was great...

Casual space with very authentic Mexican foods. The owner and wait staff very friendly and accommodating. We have been to Mexico many times and love the food but not always say to find a place locally that prepares the same quality. This place does!!.
