I’ve NEVER left this spot hungry. The carne asada tacos are my go to- add a little green salsa to the top and it’s a win. The burrito plates are really good too! The place is always busy but the service is as if you’re the only guest in the house. I love the atmosphere, kind of a dive style bar and home/local restaurant…Parking: Parking situation is terrible, but the food and service more than makes up for it!

Sooooo full. This was excellent on all levels. Even the complimentary salsa and chips you get was way better than most. Queso outstanding. Mole enchiladas fantastic. Quick attentive service...he even have us extra chips and salsa to take. Great value and I can see why its been in business for so long.

We came here based on Google reviews and local recommendations. They have red and green salsa and chips for free like most Mexican restaurants. I think the green was better than the red, but that's my opinion, and not anything amazing by my standards (not spicy either, and I asked for spicier salsa. They dont carry any.). My husband and I both got the Mexican combination plates. We were pretty disappointed overall. The chili relleno was okay, and the red enchilada wasn't bad but nothing to write home about. What was truly disappointing was the green chili con carne, and the beef chunks were really tough and chewy and had a freezer burnt taste. I did not try the taco because I forgot to ask for it without lettuce, but it's ground beef....flauta was similar to freezer type ones. The green chili cheese dip was pretty good, but you don't get very much for what you pay. I know cheese is expensive, but I think it wasn't amazing enough to ever come back for it. The service was good but nothing above standard expectations.
