Authentic Mexican and Guatemalan dishes. Food is the best I have had here or in Mexico. Portions are large, ingredients are fresh and the food is prepared with passion.

Service is always good, and plenty fast. They must have had a new waitress at some point but overall very good. Been coming for a few years now. Only place to get some of the food they serve like menudo.

Food was so fresh and HOT we actually had to wait a little before eating. Everything we ordered was well seasoned. Customer service was great even in their busiest time. It was very busy tonight. They did not stop moving at all and always made sure everything was ok on our table.

This place can be overlooked if you drive pass it. From the outside it doesn’t seem very welcoming but as soon as you step in you are greeted by staff. This place food is so good that everything else doesn’t matter. Their Street Tacos are my favorite because of how simple and yet flavorful it is. You can order from DoorDash but if you’re near just go there it’s much better because your food comes out hot. I have not tried something that I didn’t like. They have Mexican coke a 500ml size. The only thing I didn’t care for was the flan but they don’t make it there. They get their flan from my heavenly sweets in Fayetteville.

This place used to be good. It’s gone down hill. It’s also EXTREMELY dirty. Expect flies to be everywhere while you’re trying to eat your food. It’s so gross.

This is the worst restaurant we have ever ordered from, everything from hair in the queso to refried beans that looked like soup beans without the beans. I brought it home and we threw it all in the trash. Never again. If in Sanford, go to San Felipe for Mexican food.
