Reviews

Food was gorditas de chile rojo with pork.
The pork chili tasted similar like home made.
The gorditas were crunchy (I asked for corn gorditas) and seasoned right.
The service was fast and friendly.
Plenty of ice tea to drink.
This place was not very busy at the time I went for lunch.
Overall a good experience.
I would come back again.

We were very disappointed with the service first of all, they took very long there wasn’t anybody in the restaurant they took long to come and check up on us and give us our drinks until we asked for it after they brought our meals the food was terrible.
The rice was very dry the enchiladas were dry, etc.
very bad I do not recommend it one other things among other things that the price was extremely high, and the tip was very high! The waitress did not deserve a tip.
Do not go there!

Ordered steak and shrimp and steak was overcooked dry and hard.
Shrimp tasted like from a box frozen.
Shrimp a la diabla sauce tasted like chipotle.
Will never eat here again.
Food not like before.
