These recipes have been handed down and developed with great spices and unique flavors. When you walk into this quaint, cute boutique restaurant, you are immediately engulfed in the aromas of quality food. It is a sensory experience. I was immediately welcomed by the friendly staff. I told them that I needed some time to understand some of the descriptions on the menu. They offered assistance explaining some of their unique dishes. I let them know that I was going to be taking all of the items to go. It was difficult to decide on only a few items. I knew I was going to be ordering for a couple days of great food. I decided on: Burrito Gordito Carne Asade Wet A Chicken and Beef Enchilada plate with red and green sauce with rice and beans. 1 Nachos (Chicken) with lots of cheese Taquitos ... Chicken, Beef, Pork with rice and beans While I waited for my order, I listened to the music playing in the background. There were a number of people that came in and picked up orders that they had phoned in or placed online. The staff was busy checking orders for pickup or taking care of the diners at the tables. They called my name and carefully double checked my order with me, before I left. When I arrived home, the fragrance of the fresh cooked food filled my kitchen. All the items were incredible! I was especially pleased with the cheese spice and flavor of the chicken nachos. I was able to add some of their fresh made salsa to add some extra kick. The enchiladas were incredible. The red and green sauce added color as well as flavor. The taquitos were also excellent. Filled with meat and flavor. The carne asada burrito was excellent. The flavor with the addition of some salsa and sauce was filled with meat. Meat was not just small shredded pieces but large flavorful bites. Well the main parts of my meal were exceptional so were the sides. The rice, the beans, the crisp tortilla chips, all added to this delightful eating experience. I will definitely be back to this hidden gem, located among some other great boutique stores and restaurants. The staff provided conversation as well as expertise.
