O.G.
We were visiting from out of town, and this was one of the few places that stayed open late. I must say they were able to seat our group of 25 on a Saturday with very short notice. Food was just OK, the service was decent, but the wait for the food was a bit over an hour from order to table. Not taking anything away from them as we gave them short notice prior to our arrival, and it was a large group. The decor is nice and the staff is friendly. Would give it a second try if we find ourselves in the area in the future.

The corn on the cob has become a must have when we visit, so good. We tried the Tacos Al Pastor which was really good. It has a slight sweetness with the pineapple.

We used to frequent the red bank road location years ago. We moved to Milford and haven’t quite found a great Mexican place to eat at. We finally visited and wasn’t disappointed. Nice place, great food, and loved the salsa and chips. My kids loved that everyone got their own bowl and salsa refills on the table. Highly recommend!

Wow. I stopped in here quite by chance for lunch one day and was glad I did. This is some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. I went back a few weeks later with my wife so she could taste it and help me decide if it was really that good.
