    Campechana (back) and tacos al pastor (front)

    Great service and very fast! The tacos al pastor were good but the Campechana was delicious! I would come back for it ! They also have a michelada bar

    Molcajete De Chicharrón

    The place was practically empty when we went in around 5 pm on a Sunday. The waitress was super nice and attentive! My boyfriend got an agua fresca of mango and he was scared to try it so she gave him half a cup to try to see if he liked it first (no charge) and he loved it so he ordered that! We got a molcajete de chicharrón and it was SO GOOD they seasoned it with I believe lemon pepper. The salsa verde was pretty good! The tacos were nice! My boyfriend said the pastor was not the best he's tried but they're good regardless! The enchiladas verdes were really good! The decorations they had seemed like it was a sports bar like place so I could definitely see us coming for a night out!

    I did a whole insta reel on my experience for this place and I can't wait to go back. Since moving from the valley to SA, I've been on the hunt for a good papa asada and I'm glad my search is over! The papa campechana and molkajete were my favorites, but everything we tried was delicious. Their margs are also a must try! #leslieapproved

    New owner, Bernardo, has owned the restaurant since December. EVERYTHING has been upgraded she they have a new menu. The space is welcoming and fun. Their salsa bar is well stocked and fresh. The staff is friendly and attentive and the food. THE FOOD! I came in on Saturday and they had a breakfast buffet. Everything from custom order chilaquiles to waffles menudo pozole birria and so much more. Everything I tried was EXCELLENT! Flavorful. Clean. Fresh. Quality. This is going to be my new go to spot. Delicious, friendly, and fun.

    Tucked away in an unlikely shopping center, this Mexican restaurant serves everything fresh to order. The service is outstanding, and the food is a rare example of true, authentic Mexican flavors compared with other spots or hole in wall spots. The chilaquiles were the highlight--probably the best I've had in years. Definitely a must-try.

    Hospitality is amazing. Food is fantastic. This place is a hidden gem. I'm upset that I haven't heard of this place sooner. I cannot recommend this place enough. We went in on a Sunday for brunch. It's bigger style. Great price and great options. Everything is fresh and made to order, the place is really clean as well. 5/5 and bonus for the staff being so friendly and attentive. We ordered chilaquiles with barbacoa and a couple of tacos.

    This place is so damn good!!!! I've eaten here a few times and I haven't been disappointed at all. Good service, great food and drinks at great price. What more could you ask for?
