The atmosphere had the familiar feel of a traditional Mexican restaurant, but with a genuine family owned, mom & pop charm that made it feel welcoming and authentic. I ordered the Mexican steak with jalapeños, while my fiancée went with the flautas. Both dishes were excellent and fresh, flavorful, and well seasoned without being overdone. The steak was cooked just right and had plenty of flavor. My fiancée especially loved the yellow rice and kept talking about it long after we left. Overall, this was one of those unexpected finds that turns into a place you'll want to come back to. Great food, friendly people, and a welcoming atmosphere. It would be worth the hour drive back here from fort lauderdale. We'll definitely be returning.

Nothing to ride home about as far as looks but those birra tacos are about as good as they can get. Took a little while to come out of the kitchen but they were crispy full of meat and the dipping sauce was incredible too. They were so good we got in order to go to bring home since we're not often in Homestead. The pricing was a little high for such a dive at $17.95 for three tacos . Service was really good and it seemed to be a popular place down here. I would definitely stop back in and try a few other things but it is fairly pricey for a Mexican restaurant in a gas station.

Friday was a hard mom day, and I was really looking forward to my favorite Mexican food. I accidentally entered my address wrong in the app and didn't receive my first order. Despite it being a busy Friday night, the owner and staff went above and beyond to make sure my family still got our meal. I'm incredibly grateful for their kindness and care. This is the kind of customer service that truly sets a business apart. read more
