when you get tired of fast food mexican, this is a solid option for a sit-down meal.
when you consider that you get free chips n salsa, it’s a good deal! i had the wet burrito lunch special and it was very satisfying.
the atmosphere was festive so i almost ordered a margarita… almost hehe, it wasn’t even noon yet.
maybe a night out.

5 of us tried this place for the first time on a recommendation from a co-worker.
It was really busy for a Wednesday dinner time.
Waitress was nice, funny and spoke mostly Spanish to us.
We waited almost an hour for food, but were given chips and salsa as we waited.
Decor was nice too.
Food came, rice and beans good all around.
Burritos filled with beans and meat were good.
Crispy taco came with chicken, I asked for beef.
Both tacos were greasy.
1 bite of chicken taco, meat was dry.
A fixed beef taco finally arrived but meat had weird taste to it.
It did not look like shredded beef or ground beef to me.
I did not eat the tacos.
We did get table side quacamole made so fresh and quite tasty.
I just wish the avocados were cold.
Also wish that for about 12 dollars...
wish they had used more than 2 avocados for 5 people. Everyone liked their respective combo plates of a burrito and tamale, super good and enchilada, good too.
Taco salad no picture was good, but filling inside was sparse.
The fried chicken with fries and rice and beans was awesome. Overall, service was good.
Food was ok.
Prices were about 18 to 20 bucks a plate.
Many plates came with Rice, beans and a small salad. Only 1 woman bathroom and 1 man bathroom.
Both dirty, but maybe because they were so busy.
Waitress mentioned that during the week it is not as busy ...
but weekends do get busy.

Very authentic place with Mexican food.
If you don't like spice food, they have nonspicy dishes.
Big portions and good price tag.
There are tables inside and outside.
Good for big companies 7+.
And don't miss their Churros Sundae dessert.
