Staff and atmosphere are great but the food is definitely not authentic. They serve sides of fries and only have crispy tacos. I ordered a torta and was super underwhelmed with the cold carnitas and a smear of guacamole on a roll.

Great food and service. My boss and I had lunch. Steck fajita foe me and chicken fajita quesadilla for him. Both were great. Fair price and large portions. Go here and thank me later...

I used to have to their No Kingstown location in order to get authentic Mexican food. So excited that they opened up another location near Oakland Beach. Same great food. Stop on by, you won’t be disappointed. They are hard workers! Aim to please!Vegetarian options: My daughter ? is vegetarian so I can bring her here

This was a miss for me. I wanted to like it to have an option, but they were out of Corona and the food I ordered was the saddest tasting and looking plate I've ever gotten at any Mexican restaurant. The waiters were nice enough though.

Went to the Cranston location and was very pleased with the food and service. Excellent! I ordered a combo supreme with a pork enchilada and a tamal. My husband got the enchilada and taco, both with pork. Everything was delicious. The tamal was my favorite. There is something about that steamed corn in contrast with the beautifully flavored shredded pork that I love. The enchilada was delicious, too, with a different shredded pork in a corn tortilla, topped with a little sprinkle of cheese and sauce.The side condiments were on point. Great guacamole, perfect beans and delicious rice. All in all, this was a great meal. Will definitely go again.

My husband and I stopped here for a quick dinner; I was in the mood for Mexican food. We will definitely be coming back! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The service was quick. Our meals were out in less than ten minutes! We got chips and salsa to start (with no charge). The chips were fresh and warm. The salsa was also fresh. It had a great variety of vegetables! We ordered a steak burrito and a quesadilla ranchera. The burrito was enormous (we’re excited for the leftovers!). The steak was very moist and well seasoned, and the guacamole was heavenly. Our only complaint is that the burrito was slightly over salted, otherwise we couldn’t have asked for better. The quesadilla was exactly what we were looking for. The shredded beef was juicy, and the cheese was evenly distributed. I wish the tortilla had been crispier but it didn’t bother me too much because every other element was so good. The prices were about average for a nice Mexican restaurant. The bill came out to $33 for two people. We’ll definitely be returning to try more.Dietary restrictions: There were gluten free and vegetarian options.

Have been here a few times now. The margaritas are great, strong. Diablo Chicken wings are the best around.Last time we ordered a bunch of appetizers and several rounds of margaritas. Was fun and the food is great. My favorite is the shredded beef chimichanga.Service staff are very friendly.I recommend this place and I’m very fussy.

Went the day after Christmas and with a small staff we still received great service, food that came out fast, complimentary chips and salsa, with great drinks. Burria tacos were incredible and generous portions on the plate. Will definitely be back and would recommend for anyone seeking authentic Mexican food in the area.
