    The food was really good. They brought chips and salsa/ queso to the table love that .The fajitas where soft and not chewy. The cheese enchiladas where good. The street tacos where good. The service was great great attitude and made my boys laugh. The sweet tea was really good. Flour tortillas where homemade. Our bill was 67.00 that was for the fajita parillada, 2 orders of street tacos, and a cheese enchilada combination plate.

    Fantastic! May they never go out of business. Authentic real food, cooked to perfection. I would come here for my birthday! My favorite is the street tacos asada con nopales mexicanos. And the borracho beans are great, too. And they aren’t stingy with limes.

    This was our first time going here. We had a lovely waitress name Natalie. She was very attentive to her customers. The food was good also. We will be going back, and I hope it's at a time when Natalie is working.
