Let's start with the service. This place has great service with our food being served quickly and steaming hot. We were seated immediately and brought chips and salsa. A salsa bowl for each of us was a great choice. This place does have several TVs on the walls so if you're looking to watch a game I'm sure you can there. The Molcajete for two is worth the money. It's actually for three as well tools home leftovers enough for another adult.
Food is delicious . The restaurant is quaint with on point service. I had Birria de res with rice, beans and queso birria taco, oh and a michelada. I will definitely be back.
This petite "hole in the wall" gem is a must visit! We stumbled in her on a search for a quick lunch and what a great surprise! The foot was so delish, flavorful and authentic. The server was a middle age to older man, didn't get his name but he was so, so , kind and patient...maybe it was the owner. Inside was so well decorated without feeling over the top. Just a gem! A must try!
Really great service here with a really large menu. I had the steak quesadilla, it was a little greasy but still really good. I also had a potato taco which was very large. They give free chips and salsa. I also had an iced tea and they were able to give me my last refill in a to-go cup which I really appreciated.
We ate there on Friday.. My friend had a Taco Salad which he said was very good.. My wife and I split Combination Fajitas which was EXCELLENT!! All items were cooked perfectly and taste was absolute top quality!!
