The food was outstanding. Every dish was crafted with authentic Mexican ingredients and packed with flavor. I started with the tacos al pastor, which were deliciously tender and seasoned to perfection. The freshness of the ingredients really came through—each taco had the perfect balance of spices, a hint of sweetness from the pineapple, and just the right amount of heat. Next, I tried the enchiladas, and they didn’t disappoint. The homemade sauces are so rich and flavorful, clearly made with care and traditional recipes.

One of the best parts of my experience was the staff. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and more than happy to make recommendations, which added a personal touch to the meal. It’s clear they take pride in their work and genuinely want guests to enjoy themselves.

So they say if you build a better mousetrap the world will beat a path to your door. I stopped by about 1:30 and there were few cars in the lot, undaunted I forged ahead. Like the poem, I took the road less traveled and it has made all the difference. My gosh, just the nicest service I’ve experienced in many moons. And then the food; the chile relleno was the best of its kind I have ever had, it is the pan fried version with red sauce just perfect. The sauce alone could convert my Italian friends to this cuisine! And the tamale was pitch perfect, moist masa with a wonderfully seasoned pork. So three things really are clues to quality at a Mexican restaurant; Refried Beans that are not from a can, and have pieces of beans in them check! Salsa with the chips that is fresh and is not to tomato forward check!! And fruit garnish that is fresh unbruised and cut with care check!!! These folks have...

Once you walk in you might decide to walk back out. The restaurant is dirty and old inside. A bunch of trash and food under the tables. I should have just left, but unfortunately I stayed. To give you some context I have been to many Mexican restaurants all over the US. Its my favorite type of food. This place was one of the worst I ever tried. The worst one was in Hilton Head. The only good thing was the salsa. My food came and it looked drowned in grease. The enchilada wraps had a strange color to them. The steak inside tasted like the leftover steak from last night. It was tough had fatty pieces etc. The beans were not bad, but the rice even looked greasy. I thought it was strange for rice to have a greasy look. I dont understand how this place has good reviews. I think they must of took over a different restaurant...
