The fruit that comes with the spinach keish is plentiful and fresh! This place is a winner for vegetarians and those that aren't. I will become a regular at this place.Parking: At peak times it can be harder to find a spot in the lot , but just park legally on the side street on the south side of the parking lot . Pro Tip: You may have to go a bit down that street to find parking.“

“So my husband was looking for good tacos, since he loves tacos! So he was browsing around checking out some good restaurants places to eat! He was going through some reviews looking around when he came around this restaurant! Close to where we are staying, so we decided to go check it out! To me you could be in the most ghetto place but if your cooking is awesomeness and good, well I don’t care! So we decided to go, never being there this is literally my first time being there! I love food and I enjoy eating it! If you don’t cook it right and doesn’t give me that vibe that it should as soon as it touches my tongue, then you’ll never see me again, but I’ll be giving you a one star review! So said that I really recommend this small nice restaurant full of delicious food and awesome people as services! It ain’t a fancy 5 star restaurant but to me is the best restaurant as Mexican authentic food you could ever have!! Good job! ????P.S there white cheese dip OMG Buenísimo mind blowing!! Next time I’ll be trying something different! I’ll be posting more pictures till next time ????“

We almost always come for the Friday Seafood soup and their flagship Amber beer, but in the process introduced to the Si Senor Brand Beer called Delirium. It’s has a hint of red wine flavor, but higher in alcohol content, that’s why they served it 9 ounces at a time. It is delicious and a must to try.“
