"Stopped in for dinner on a Tuesday. Cute restaurant. If I hadn’t found them on Google I would have never noticed them despite driving past them all the time.
The service was great and the food delicious. Loved the tamales and enchiladas! The rest of group ordered burritos and everyone was happy and satisfied with their food!"

"Wow what a great experience!!! The food here was excellent and extremely fresh. The lady who worked here said nothing was frozen and it TASTED like it. The beans were some of the best I’ve ever had. The churros are worth starting a war over (my husband tried to eat some!). Just wow. Cannot recommend enough."

"Absolutely delicious and authentic. Move over Don Taco! Portions are good - 2 tacos without a side were enough for a nice lunch. The owner is friendly and warm. Seating area inside is cozy yet adorable with plenty of outdoor seating."
