We stopped here for like lunch while traveling to Chicago. It's a short, easy detour off of Route 80/90 and well worth it. Sunny, clean, space with great food and service! Authentic Mexican food. Friendly staff.

This is an authentic taqueria. If you eat in you get chips and refried beans with 2 salsas. I had the fajitas this time but often get their tacos. I also always get the horchata which is so good. The people are friendly(and fluently bilingual), the food is delicious and I go here about twice a month. Portion sizes are really large and priced fair. If you ever happen to go to Sturgis, Michigan this is a great place to hit. You will not be disappointed. They are closed Sundays so be sure it’s any day but then.

The place was recommended by our hotel host. Great sea food tacos. We order camarones a la diabla, jaiba and pulpo en su tinta. They were delicious. Very recommended Portions are good size and enough to share. I have to mentioned the they were following safety protocols as far as disinfecting and social distancing tables.

Stopped for lunch upon leaving Bacalar. My wife and I loved the fish al pil pil, cochinitas pibil. Our friend had shrimp empanadas. Everything was delicious. Service was good. Very economical.

Bruh, the best Indian fried bread can be found here and it is so huge. It may not be as thick (Bread) as other fry bread but it is definitely filling and so delicious. A bean & cheese with lettuce and tomato fry bread is only $5.50 plus you can add fries for an additional $2.50. Navajo tacos are $9.50. Anyways, I am up here in New Mexico (Four Corners Region) visiting family and so with the stupid "virus" running wild like Hulkamania there is slim pickings for indian fried bread but this place has it and it's phenomenal. The employees are very nice even with a language barrier but they don't cook your order until you order so you are guaranteed freshness. Complimentary chips & salsa was a nice touch as well. Apparently, they sell burritos and tacos as well but I just wanted my fry bread hahaha and I was not disappointed. So anyways, if you live or are ever near Farmington, NM definitely check this place out.

We tried the special of the restaurant which is fish prepared a la pil pil (herbs and onions). The whole fried fish was tasty, the ceviche was very good and a huge portion even though we got the medium size. I didn’t like the tacos with shrimp as they were fried and with a lot o mayo. The service was alright, they forgot 2 tacos and when we cancelled them they did not accept that bit brought them either way. But that is ok since the prices are fair and cheaper than most other places in the area. Since the restaurant is out of the city consider you have to get there by cab if you don’t have a car.

If i could give it zero stars i would have...stale chips, horrible salsa....over priced...ate two chips...threw the rest away...$10 and it all went in the trash...
Cook eating behind line, 12:30 place empty. Chips and salsa with side of salsa $10.00!! The chips were stale beyond description, salsa was really bad. I'm really mad right now,feel like I have just been robbed.

Make sure you find this place! Our driver had eaten there before and said it was a good spot. He should have said it is a wonderful spot. Specialty is, of course, seafood, though they do have other options. It is spotless, with an open kitchen and clean restrooms. There were four of us and each ordered something different: Shrimp in butter -- which was excellent and came with rice and a small salad Shrimp Neopolitano - had a wonderful sauce, and came with rice and avocado slices Cerviche Mixta - the regular portion is huge Cerviche Mixta - half portion - also very generous There is a wide array of sauces on the table including chipotle and garlic. Both are excellent. I did not try the spicy sauces. I would love to eat here again but alas, we were in the area for just one night.

We drove by here after making a wrong turn and it was packed. We had to stop in after seeing all those people eating. The prices were very reasonable and the seafood here was INCREDIBLE! The restaurant is spacious with a beautiful back drop of greenery outside. I would recommend stopping by for seafood at a very reasonable price. I tried the octopus with garlic and lemon in a taco and it was really good. Perfectly balanced dressing and the octopus was throughly cooked and tasted fresh.
