My wife and I stopped here on a rainy Saturday afternoon, craving some tasty Mexican food. I had been to this space pre-Covid and I remember the food being just ok. This time was a much different experience. The kitchen was bustling with activity, more cooks than customers initially. The furniture was upgraded, and my first impression was that this wasn't the same place. When I looked at the menu, I could tell that this place was the real deal with their offerings of tacos de lengua, buche, and cabeza. And they had several varieties of pozole and consome, just what the doctor ordered! It was so good and so fresh and with all of the fixings! We also ordered tacos. Handmade corn tortillas with the traditional fixings. The barbacoa was so tender and rich! The carnitas were juicy and trimmed beautifully - all killer, no filler, as I like to say. The salsa verde was not for the faint of heart. Beautiful kick that had us slurping down the Tamarind agua fresca (large and handmade) and chomping the basket of tortilla chips to put out the fire. The salsa rojo was smoky and mild, adding a beautiful ting to the tacos. Our waiter was attentive, informative, and friendly. He shared that his family bought the place from the previous owners and have made it their own. Indeed, they have! We rolled out of their and needed to take a nap. Take it from a guy who has traveled all over Mexico and lived in Mexico City -- this place is good!

A good local Mexican restaurant I believe ran by a family:) The lady was welcoming Ambiance- the ambiance was colourful and homely. Plenty of seating inside. Service- Service was good and quick. The server was polite. Food - We ordered Chicken burrito- my friend loved the burrito, was freshly cooked and the red salsa/sauce the served made it more delicious. the quantity was large so couldn’t finish the burrito in one go. Fish Tacos- the fried fish could do more seasoning. I would prefer to taste their chicken tacos. *** we ordered fresh fruit watermelon juice which was so refreshing ans good, one star goes for the fresh juice which they serve*** I think the dish prices can be better, i felt it is a bit pricey for the place. In support of local restaurants, I would definitely recommend to try if you love homely Mexican cuisine they have good options.

Today, I ordered takeout and I wasn't disappointed. First time at the restaurant and I was greeted like I was family. Family owned and operated, which I love supporting local businesses. I meet the owners and family, and they were extremely cordial and friendly. The restaurant was nicely set up with plenty of seating. It was also very clean inside. I had the shrimp tacos with avocado and a side of rice. The meal was very flavorful and delicious. The sauces were very good as well. I'm looking forward to going back and trying out more of their authentic dishes. If you're in the area, I highly recommended going there and giving it a try for yourself. If you like my review and photos, please give then a thumbs up and follow me for great locations to go. CHEERS.....

Nice little hidden gem.. if you didn’t know about it you would probably just drive right on by and miss the opportunity at some authentic Mexican.. Traditional Mexican playing on the speakers . The food was made fast and hot, everything I ordered was amazing. The carne asada , birria tacos, Jamaica drink was amazing and fresh.. the food was loaded with flavor they didn’t cringo it up here.. Tender and delicious.. The tacos so good and meats so easy to eat .. it’s definitely a must try if you are done with the malls and want real food..

I loved the place. It’s a small simple little place that takes “CASH ONLY” I had steak tacos and were very good, as good as if not better than anything in central Texas. Straight up Mexican food, not dressed up, not fancy’d up. They have a good selection of drinks, Mexican Coke’s, Mexican bottled water....... no Topo-Chico though. The music was authentic, very little English in this place. Good parking, windows up front, open and airy. I’d go back. BatesX3 from Kansas City loved it.
