“ Limited menu options but the burritos were decent for the cost. The salsa n chips was really good. ”
“ Ordered flautas and they were so filling, loved the salsa that they bring out to the table the only thing I noticed was that the chips didn't look homemade, they looked store bought. The chips were crisp and tasty but I look forward to a good crispy fresh tortilla chip with salsa when I go to Mexican restaurants. The salsa however was so yummy and just the right amount of spice I will say that the menu seemed smaller than I'm used to. My husband ordered tacos of different varieties and they looked good and they were well portionrd with meat and double layered with milagro tortillas. If they have the strawberry horchata be sure to try it, you won't regret it if it tastes anything like their regular horchata. My husband liked the agua de Jamaica he had. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because they didn't have AC and it was a hot day so with the food I was sweating eating it. ”
“ Great food, dined in and the food was all fresh and portions were AMAZING. Staff is super nice and very friendly. Legit Mexican food, go there if you're in the area. ”
