Started with the table-made guacamole - excellent. Chose three mains, and all were exceptional. I can't believe one of the reviewers here found everything lacking in flavor and authenticity. Mains includes Enchiladas (beef, chicken, veggie - great accompaniments), Mole' Chicken (1/2-chicken slathered with delicious mole') and the Beef Molcajete - beef strips, chorizo, queso fresco, cactus, & scallions in salsa, served in an authentic stone mortar. The molcajete is a true dining experience. Overall - can't wait to go back in the Spring.

The menus are propped up for contactless ordering and they also have a QR scan so you can see the menu using your phone. Everyone is wearing PPE and gloves. The food is served in disposable wear so you know is sanitary! There is good social distances and it's all outdoor seating with tarps. So no need to worry about getting wet under a cheap patio umbrella! And plenty parking. The food: is authentic and yummy delicious! I ordered the tamales, empanadas, and enchiladas de mole. The food is like eating at my Mexican grandma's table. I have not experienced this specially so remote from the big city. What a gem hidden in this tiny farm. For dessert I had the churros which where covered with sprinkled sugar and cinnamon and stuffed with amazing yummy caramel goodness. Served with ice cream and raspberry sauce. Absolutely incredible!! I drove 8 hrs to be here and they did not disappoint. This place is totally under rated. The problem is not many people who come here know about yelp. Although it seems to be really popular with the locals, they are typically older farm folks and families. I wish they got more reviews. The owners are a cute couple who work the restaurant and their kids work here too. Absolutely amazing 10 out of 10!!!

My guy loved his food so much, he got another Huarache to take home for later!! Though the horchata I ordered could have used more cinnamon and less water, could be because I ordered a large.

We had the chimichangas, Chili Relleno, the goat cheese chorizo appetizer and Fajitas. My companions spoke well of their chimichangas, all of us agreed that the bread, cheese, and sausage in the appetizer were unexpectedly good. Perfect amount of heat in the sausage, a nice hard chorizo sliced on the margin, and the bread was freshly baked and had a beautifully crisp crust. My chili relleno was well seasoned, the meat was tender enough to cut with the side of my spoon, and the pepper was cooked perfectly. Perfectly well done, not so far that it became soggy like some places do by mistake. All in all, a very nice surprise.
