    We have been wanting to try this place for a while and I'm so glad we finally made it happen. It's in a neat old drive in restaurant space (no longer a proper drive in) and they have lots of indoor seating as well as a few outdoor picnic tables. Their menu was larger than I expected so we each tried the tacos, picadas, and pupusas. I do believe the picadas were my favorite. We got the pork that she said was seasoned similarly to shawarma and it was delicious. I wish I'd gotten more! The pupusas were also great- fried cheese and bread essentially with a great sauce and some sort of cole slaw on the side. I got a taco with chicken and it wasn't really anything special but I think that's mostly because I got it with chicken. Next time I'll try pork or beef! The service was a little slow and the lady working had very rough English but was helpful nonetheless. The food didn't take long to come out so that was a plus! Overall it's a very good authentic Mexican restaurant and I encourage you to stop by if you're ever passing through and craving some Mexican cuisine!

    A friend recommended me to try them out. I have had heard about Pupusa's before and was excited to get my first pupusa. It has beans and cheese inside a flour tortilla with deep pockets. I ordered chicken and steak tacos and they were delicious. Tacos are served with red and/or green sauce with a bit of salad inside and they come in a plastic bag. I loved the flavor of the sauces and they are authentic tacos with 2 flour tortillas per each taco. It looks mediocre from outside with lots of place to park vehicles outside. Basically a take out place from outside until you step in and see bar stools and tables to sit. They barely speak english and if you get lucky, sometimes you will find someone speak pokito ingles. Food is delicious and have had tried it thrice already and many more to come. Bon appetite.

    This is one of my favorite places for dinner on Thursday. They have $1 tacos & pupusas every Thursday. The steak & pork are my favorite. It's hard to find good authentic tacos.

    Tacos all come with onion, cilantro and avocado on top. Best tacos in Bowling Green.

It was so good, we went back the second night! We were in town for 3 days and so glad we found this place. Complimentary salsa = excellent blend & texture. Cheese dip is excellent. The ribeye Chimichanga meal includes thin refied beans, light fluffy rice and a "Mexican salad" (lettuce, pico, guacamole and sour cream....for $10! I cleared my plate, twice haha! My fiancée got the Carnitas, and wowow! Braised then flash fried, the huge chunks of pork pulled apart easily to reveal sight pink meat perfection. This dish is a MUST HAVE and is a huge portion. We tried both the churro and Mexican ice cream dessert and the ridiculous fried cheesecake and ice cream. Save room, they are also amazing! $45 meal with drinks, best bang for your buck by far. We have literally no complaints other than there isn't a location in KC! Thanks!!

We have never found a Mexican restaurant that accommodates to our picky needs and has such a variety of food to choose from. I was shocked that a 24oz beer was under $4 and our waitstaff was very friendly and accommodating. There was four in our group and we had burritos and an assortment of tacos with sides and drinks. Very reasonable priced. A definite recommend if looking for good Mexican food .

Standard menu for a Mexican establishment with the usual suspects of Burritos, Tacos, Nachos and of course Birria! They also serve the lunch menu all week long so there's a breakfast burrito that my daughter got that looked great. They weren't very busy and didn't have a lot of staff working when we arrived on a Sunday around 12. The server was very quick to get to our table and give us drinks, tortilla chips and salsa while we looked at the menus. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with artwork and flags and you wouldn't think it was so nice from the outside but it is. Our food came out very fast and looked amazing. I ordered the Birria Quesadilla and it was amazing. Tender meat and very cheesy! The consommé is an extra charge so we got a cup to share. My wife had a Chicken dish with queso and rice that was also delicious. My son ordered a huge burrito that looked great but he did mention it not being the hottest. Overall good experience and we will visit again when we're in the area. They do charge gratuity automatically for parties of 6 or more so take that info as you'd like.

Good location, ample parking and surprisingly spacious dining room with plenty of tables. I'm surprised this place wasn't busier. I ordered the taco trio and chose the Baja taco with dealers choice on fish or shrimp, Al pastor taco and the carne asada taco with a cucumber lemonade to drink since they have Aguas frescas on tap. They served my drink right away and it was refreshing made with lemon instead of a traditional pepino that is made with limes. More like a lemonade with some cucumbers. The tacos came out fairly quick and looked amazing. They added a side of corn almost like elotes and some sauces and a couple slices of a radish one lime. The tacos were delicious I liked the freshness of the tortillas and heated with a bit of oil to make them soft but not fall apart soft on my carne asada taco and al pastor. They both had great flavor and the sauce were decent. The green one was like a tomatillo but not spicy and the red one was a little bit spicy. The Baja fish taco was really good made with a flour tortilla still crisp and held together well and the sauce was plentiful that I didn't even need to add anything. The fish was well seasoned and the slaw gave it a perfect texture. I don't eat corn that often but still tasted it and was great, seasoned with some spice and warm and cozy feels. I also picked a chocoflan and it was the perfect treat to end the meal. Beautifully moist dessert the only thing I prefer it a bit more Carmel sauce. The staff cleared up our table and were so nice. We came when they had trivia night and when in Rome you play trivia and it was actually fun but we didn't stay for the whole game. They also have a table that has cutlery, to go boxes, napkins and cups and ice water dispenser and some sauces. A place if I'm ever in the area again I will be stopping at again.

    Over rated by far. All the food is extremely bland…read more Service is shotty. Wouldn't be back for $40 street tacos with no flavor.
