Our favorite Mexican restaurant. If they had more attentive and friendly service, it would be absolutely perfect. Watching for drinks, being more visible, a tad more personal interaction makes eating out a joy instead of just getting food.

Fantastic authentic Mexican food. Friendly staff and large portions. Hands down the best Mexican restaurant I have eaten at in the past 15 years. Great value for money. Cant wait to go back

Excellent service! I had the tacos de pastor, and the flavor was excellent. Just the right amount of sweet and the pork was so tender. Don't mind the photo, I'd already torn through half my plate. They serve the onions and cilantro in a dish on the side, which is a nice touch. And the margaritas are only $3 and change on Sunday evening.
