This is an inconspicuous place in the back corner of a grocery strip mall.
Don't judge this book by its cover.
Enter and find a delightful and quaint restaurant with a traditional Mexican flare.
Tortillas are made from scratch and the food is delicious.
A simple Enfrijolada paired with either their smoky red salsa or the organic green salsa is absolutely delicious.
The hash on the Huevos Rancheros is made of bell peppers, onions and tomatoes, and it adds a lift to the traditional breakfast plate.
The price is highly reasonable and affordable, allowing you to have a delicious meal with a loved one for $25.
Remember those days? The staff is friendly and courteous, but they are focused on preparing good food, so don't take offense if you don't get full eye contact.
This is in high competition for being a favorite Mexican place in town.
More visits are required to try other dishes and to evaluate consistency, but this first stop put it at the top of my list.
P.S.
Homemade Tamales of 4 different kinds are sold here.

The woman working the counter was very helpful and kind.
Our orders were ready in a reasonable amount of time.
This is a good "hole in the wall" place to come if you're looking for good Mexican food in the area.
*Sad face* cause they don't serve enchiladas but *Happy face* cause they do serve tamales which I don't normally see available around this time of year at eateries.
If you decide to eat here don't forget to ask for green sauce on the side.
It's spicy and delicious.

Such a great place, excellent beef burrito...! Highly recommend....fast service..
