    Authentic Mexican cuisine. We tried a few of the tacos and tamales over a few visits and all were good including carnitas (pork) and lengua (tongue). They do serve special soups on the weekends, including the shrimp soup which was pretty good. If you eat in the meals come with pre-made chips and salsa but neither were all that good. In addition to the convenient take out window they have a rather large dining room and bar area with television sets. I kind of prefer doing take-out though because the restaurant is enormous, a bit drabby and outdated, and invariably empty. It's much better than the Mexican place across the street but a notch below Dona Rosa up the street (where they seem to make their own chips and serve them with warm bean dip). The employees seem friendly though and it's very reasonably priced.

    Excellent food! The service was friendly. Even with a loud kid at another table I still enjoyed this place.

    This is a hidden gem that we weren't expecting to come across. First, the sit-down area is located…read morebehind the butcher area and it's clear that the quality of the meat is solid. After ordering a few tacos, I regret not ordering the broth that everyone else seemed to have ordered. Regardless, the tacos were divine. I have to say the peppers were extremely spicy and something that I half-regret eating. But despite the spicy sweats, the flavors were spot on that it was such a memorable meal. Would definitely be back.

    I went into this restaurant because I noticed that they had huaraches, and because a chef at…read moreanother restaurant recommended it. I am a big huaraches fan, and I tried this in four different restaurants in a couple of months. Each time I enter every restaurant I look around and leave if it is dirty. This restaurant was clean. I ordered the carnitas (roasted pork) huaraches. The pork was juicy, and the toppings fresh. This nice sized portion kept me full all day. I did not see a Diet Coke in the drink refrigerator. I got a bottled water (better for me). The gentleman behind the counter and the register lady were very friendly. Thank goodness I took Spanish in high school, because I use it at Mexican restaurants. I I love neighborhood Mexican joints because their food is cheaper, and is highly better quality than the most of the other restaurants. I will add this place on my lunch list!
