A great stop while driving through the area. Staff was welcoming and service was quick. Food was fresh, delicious, and generous portions. Lunch special is a steal! Kids menu options available. The horchata was refreshing and not too sweet.

Food portions are large, and the food is amazing!! The hospitality here is also amazing. We spoke with the staff and they treated us like we had known them for years. Great place to be, especially if you want that family like restaurant!

First time dining here and the customer service was amazing and so was the food! We got shredded chicken tacos, chicken breast tacos, steak tacos with rice and to drink we got Horchata and Jamaican Mexican water (Hibiscus tea) both were good .The shredded chicken was juicy and the breast was good also but for me the steak took the show! The cilantro and onions were sooo fresh and they were very generous with the toppings so if you want a little make sure to inform them.lol. So glad we tried them and will definitely return.

Food was great and the portions were large. Most places these days have cut back from 3 enchiladas to 2, here they serve you 4! The burrito was also very large. Everything tasted great and was authentic. The service was great too. Very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back.

Food was very delicious with very large portions. We had steak fajitas, enchiladas, tacos & a grande burrito & all of us enjoyed what we got. Service was excellent & the server was very friendly. Wished we lived in the area to enjoy it again.

Wow! Great newish spot in the region! Service is great food os fresh and wonderful. We got the queso fundido to start and it came with peppers and onions that were so fresh and it wasn't greasy like some others. My husband got the quesibirria which was so good and I got the El Dorado fajitas. Everything was fresh and tasty! Definitely a spot to go to! Prices are reasonable considering how much food you get!
