Michoacán has been often called the Soul of Mexico. It’s food is Mexico’s soul food as few other places in the country can claim such a profound and long-lasting indigenous influence on their regional cuisine.
Peter and Teresa Valencia bring the rich flavors of the Michoacán state to down east Maine. Peter’s mother began making these flavorful foods in the 1950s. They use locally grown produce in their dishes when ever possible. Their spices and specialty items are imported from Mexico.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon. Place was not busy but had customers coming and going. Small inside eating area, outdoor picnic tables and a screened in gazebo dining room. Food was excellent and the portions were huge. Very happy with everything. There was a lot of singing and laughing coming from the kitchen , glad to see they have fun doing this because it shows in the final product ! Will absolutely stop again next time in the area.

This was an authentic Mexican food restaurant and it was in every bite the taste and the flavor. It was a rainy day and it provided the comfort. The portions were generous and satisfied the craving for real mexican food. The owner was very kind and this will a memorable place during this trip. The menu had several options that im sure will satisfy. I give it 10 stars, there are many Mexican restaurants but this is a gem.

Supreme burrito with Mexican beef was really good, but pork tacos weren’t. The pork was a little too greasy and didn’t have much flavor. They also had lots of bits of cartilage (not a deal breaker) and bones (yuck).

This is Mexican take out with a dining screened porch for dine in. No table service. But the food was quick and delicious. The screened porch made for a great private dining room. If you are in Gouldsboro or nearby this will be a great stop.

A little side of the road take out place, with plenty of picnic tables to dine on. Found it to be a bit pricey for what whe ordered. Food had great flavor and was fresh. Asked for salsa , she said it came with it, butdidn’t, they ran out =(

Cute little take out restaurant with limited seating (outdoor). Service was great, food was decent. Torta was smaller than you usually see and a little plain. Chimichanga was excellent. Chips & salsa do not come standard with the meals, it’s an extra charge. A little pricey for the amount food you get but that may be the local standard (we’re just passing through). Would eat there again!

Delicious and fresh, we loved everything we ordered. The food is a more rustic style and isn’t over salted like chain restaurants. A great little gem in Downeast Maine.

I only stopped here because I was getting tired of seafood and I was starving. I didn’t expect much from a little roadside take-out place in the north east. I was pleasantly surprised to find food that reminded of Mexican food I had near the Mexican border in AZ and CA. I had the vegetarian enchiladas and a vegetarian burrito that were both filling and delicious. The owner was pleasant and accommodating and willing to make any dish vegetarian if desired. Everything was fresh and authentic and I will happily come back next time I’m in the area.
