I really don't like Mexican restaurants but the guacamole and the appetizers were on point and so were the dishes. I can say that this is the first Mexican restaurant that we really liked so that means we are definitely coming back again. The place can get loud so get ready for that experience. It's not your fine dining formal place, you're here to party Mexican style.

What a hidden gem! Delicious, gourmet cooking. You can tell the chef really cares about the flavor…read more The tamales here are so flavorful, not dry, come with fresh homemade tortillas, and only $4 (as of Spring 2026). They're wrapped in a sort of banana leaf, rather than corn husk, and well-seasoned and almost gelatinous. The tacos were obviously great, as well as an extremely generous-portioned sope. They had chicharrones and yucca as a special, which was reasonably priced and very good. Also, the beef soup is extremely flavorful, tender, and well-balanced. You can easily get a filling meal here for $10. Many times we came, the place was full, and mostly by Spanish-speaking patrons (always a very good sign). I drive 35 minutes to come here when I'm craving Mexican food, and everyone I've introduced to this place also comes back. I love this restaurant, and am very impressed with the food (and prices!). There's also a cute bodega attached to it, with some cool stuff stocked and available. Go here, and try the tamales! Maybe even order take out, as well, before you get home and regret not doing so

Comes with options of different rices, beans, and fresh veggies and fajitas + homemade sauces like mango habanero and chipotle aioli. For drinks, you have the option of adding a bottled Jarritos or using a self-serve soda machine with crafty Boylan Bottling sodas. I came during lunch; the restaurant has convenient plaza parking and a pleasant environment inside with A/C and music. The metal tables and wooden stools give an industrial, modern look. Guests were entering and leaving at a steady pace for take-out as most tables were filled with family or couples. A busy spot means you know there's good food!
