AMAZING!! The salsa taste sooo fresh, but it does have a kick to it! The wet burrito is unlike any other I’ve ever had. The steak was so tender! My boyfriend really enjoyed his fajitas. I feel like my best friend brought me over to her grandmothers home for dinner.

The decor is wonderful. Service was great. Food is amazing! I had the chile Colorado and asked for hot chile on the side. It’s truly hot and we loved it. Tacos were perfect. We’re visiting from New Mexico and this is far better than our New Mexican food

Friendly staff. Including cook. Don’t get that much anymore. Food is amazing, large, and has adequate portions. And on time as well. This is my go to Mexican joint. They have plenty of parking and outdoor seating. Although 1 thing to address, the restaurant is a little stuffy in the mornings. It can be fixed. Np. But other than that it’s a 5 out of 5.

My family and I have been ordering from this restaurant for years. The staff is so kind, and their food is amazing. Seriously, you need to try this place if you haven’t ordered from here yet. I highly recommend the carnitas plate. This place is perfect for take-out orders.

This is one of my parents favorites for authentic Mexican food. I like it too. It’s not a huge restaurant but has a great feel like you’re down South. I like their Camarones a la diabla and Camarones Costa Azul. Chips, Salsa and Horchata are a plus. The lady serving is always great and has a great attitude. Definitely recommended.

It was my first time here. It was a little tricky finding parking until I realized that parking is in the rear. It’s a small and quaint restaurant. The service was excellent and the food was good. I’ll be back.

Classic taco shop vibe. Order at the counter and they’ll bring the food to your table. There are probably about 15 tables in here, so there is plenty of seating. They have their own parking lot behind the building. Prices are higher than I expected for a taco shop, but the food is good.

Rosa Castro
It is a very casual restaurant but the food is the best. I usually get their Agua Chile and Capechana de mariscos.

We got food poisoning after eating the molcajete plate. We didn’t know the restaurant had a major food violation on their last inspection.
