Excellent restaurant! My wife and I have eaten here multiple times and the staff is always friendly and very attentive. The crunchy birria flautas are absolutely AMAZING and have become our go to order! Great Mexican spot to have in town!
This is our favorite Mexican restaurant. We love that they have Mexican and American versions of their dishes because it makes ordering for groups easier. Personally, we like the Mexican tacos and quesadillas, but we haven't had a disappointing meal yet.
Their seating area is very relaxed as opposed to a normal sit down restaurant, but they will serve you and they're so wonderfully nice. We really love it there.
We have gotten take out, but we prefer to eat there because it's so much different coming fresh out of the kitchen.
I find the food to have more flavor compared to others in the area, and the menu variety makes it easy to be repeat customers.
We truly love it there!
Update: new menu look and slight changes inside - still wonderful, still our favorite spot.
You want authentic Mexican food this is your go to spot! Amazing food and great service! I got tacos de lengua and they were delicious 10/10 the agua de horchata is homemade and has great flavor! I’m definitely coming back again.
