Greeted at the door and quickly sat at a booth. Server was quite nice, chips and salsa to the table in a minute. Chips and salsa were excellent. Then I did order the steak and enchiladas, beans, rice, and chile toreado, with corn tortillas. I have to say the meal was excellent. Everything was perfect. Great experience and would come back.

It is not a busy place. The only reason I can think to explain this is that the prices are higher than typical Tex-Mex. Totally worth it for fresh food, made to order, with excellent seasoning. In addition, the small restaurant is charming.

The salsa is different from your typical salsa roja, this one is I don't know, more orange? It was very good, though, and served warm. The guacamole was mediocre at best. Both my husband and I got the Tacos Mexicanos - he got pollo on flour tortillas and I got carne asada on corn. I think they make their tortillas in house. Both the pollo and carne asada tacos were VERY tasty. They come served with cilantro and onion with lime, a spicy sauce that comes on the side (that I didn't try) and a side of charro beans. We were both very pleased with our meal. If you order with flour tortillas you will only get 3 tacos because they're a little larger...with the corn tortillas you get four. Overall it was a pleasant experience.

Service was good. Friendly waitress. Food came out fast and was exactly what you would expect - beans eggs and tortillas. In my opinion the tortillas were too thick but they were home made.
