Very authentic and quality Mexican food. It’s pretty much the same as in Mexico. It’s hard to find the taste of Mexican authenticity up here like this . The Al pastor is very yummy , the Lengua is very tender. I give this 5 stars due to the services and quality of the food as well as the atmosphere like back home in Mexico.

A very authentic Mexican restaurant with lots of options. They make the tortillas and chips on site and you can taste the difference.

Foods good but don’t have a party here!! I had my wedding reception here and I was less than pleased. First I was quoted $740 for 30 people and from the time 6pm-10pm. At the end of the night I was billed $1400 he charged me an extra $100 to come in the same day as my wedding to set up beforehand, my guests paid for their own alcohol, and I went through less then 100 soda beverages, what else I was charged for who knows. I ended up with only 28 guests. Second I was promised twice the use of their mechanical bull and included that in my reception invitations, which they never set up or cleared from the room just took up space from my party. I also asked twice if they provided table clothes or should I and twice I was told his wife would handle it for a fee, I agreed twice, and I ended up with zero. When I got there to set up the party room was full of storage and tons of left over baby shower decorations from a previous party I had to clean up and move before decorating for my own wedding reception.

There are certain foods that might make you scepticle when ordering take out. I’d say this restaurant exceeded my expectations. For Lansing standards, I was not disappointed one bit. There are some food that you can tell if you ate it fresh and at the restaurant, it would way better. This is definitely that.

I’ve dined in twice with little to no issue other than really slow service. I’ve ordered multiple times via Uber eats. Delivery is fine but my order is rarely complete or accurate. By the end of a typical Uber order im right around $40 and change total. Despite calling right after placing an order to confirm the order and the requested condiments and drinks; it’s always an issue.

Hands down the best authentic Aguas frescas we had the pineapple and horchata. Food was absolutely amazing we had tacos de al pastor and these were closer in taste to the ones we had in México than anywhere in Michigan we’ve been too. Chips and salsa, Rice and beans were perfect. I loved thos place. Our waitress was super sweet and quick to get out drinks and order. The hostess guy could use some training in communication and friendliness.

The food is very good. They have what white Americans will like, but also have some exotic (read authentic) foods as well. For example, cow tongue and pork intestine tacos. Very delicious but not for the faint of heart. Also some of the people working here barely speak any English which is a definite plus. I am not going to say anymore, check it out.
