Always stop there after doctor appointments but first time having dinner there because I had a late appointment. The flautas were one of the best I've had and I will have them again. The food is always great no matter if for breakfast, lunch or dinner

This was the best Mexican food I've had in a long time. The refried beans were amazing and full of flavor. The meat was cooked very well, and was tender. Their salsa was also exceptional. I got their plate number one, and would definitely get it again. I'm surprised this place doesn't have a line out the door. It was also much more reasonably priced than other Mexican food I've had recently.

We came in late about 10 pm ordered the waitress attended us quickly, we ordered our drinks, she brought our chips and salsa the salsa was one of the best cold salsas I’ve had and I don’t usually like cold salsa but this one here is different. Space was clean place was empty. The food was so delicious we ordered a Jalisco burrito, my husband ordered a fajita flameado plate and my daughter ordered a beef fajita. When I say it was the best burrito I’ve had I mean it. Stuffed burrito with enchilada sauce drowned all over the top, in the inside I had asada meat, sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoe. It was so flavorful. I’ve had these at many places this exceeded all the rest. My husband had the fajita plate he loved it. The lemonade was great and the service was excellent. The waitress was the best she even gave my daughter $2 in change so my daughter can by herself a ball from the toy machine and she bought my son one as well. Above and beyond. I would definitely come back. The waitress I don’t know your name but God bless you, you made our night. My husband was hangry and this hit the spot. I will definitely be coming back

This is a nice, low-key. Looks like mostly locals eating there, which is a good sign. I had the #5 Mexican Plate. The food was good. Service was fast and friendly, and it was a good value. The place is a little worn out looking, it no complaints. There are tons of Mexican places in the area so it’s hard to choose.
