The best authentic Mexican food I’d ever had! Straight from Guatemala, homeade chips, variety of proteins, sauces and toppings for all tastes.
Also- cleanest bathroom I have ever seen, which means a clean kitchen.
A little well known fact! And can’t beat the prices.
I will gladly drive the 45 min to frequent!

Thank you so much Jodi!


First time trying out this restaurant and their Beef crispy tacos were good but chicken taco could use a some more flavor.
Strawberry churro and tres Leche were delicious.

Thank you Melissa!


Great full delicious burritos.
Restaurant is small, but there's plenty of comfortable seating.
Bathroom was immaculate.
Coming back here ASAP!

Thank you so much John!
