Each time we come, we're greeted in such a friendly manner. I love the decor and vibrant colors in here - it really transports you to an authentic Mexican experience. Service is so speedy - you will not be waiting on them! The staff are absolute hustlers that really care about doing their job. Coming from Minneapolis, having chips and salsa for the table is a welcome joy - and they have some of the best dang chips I've ever had! ALWAYS order queso for the table. Theirs is delish. I love their street tacos and enjoy their combos too. My partner loved their quesadilla, and especially enjoyed the ham and bean soup they give on the side. Their margaritas are massive and delicious - just how you want it! Support this local business - thanks for being a staple in Panora.
