Walked in by chance for the first time, good food, mom and pop atmosphere. The chili Verde was good and I loved the homemade tortillas! Been in this plaza many time, I will definitely come again.

I’ve been going to this place for years. I used to love it. Now for past 4 years off & on, when I go by myself & bring friends to give them more business. The older man, guess the owner has been extremely rude to me & my friends. I feel he’s prejudice He treats us differently then other customers. Can’t believe I kept giving them chances. The food, for me, went down hill too. I want to say, his wife is a sweet heart though. But because of him, I will never go back, & I live right across the street from them too. There is no reason to treat your customers bad. I feel very uncomfortable going there now.

Don’t judge till you try it…. Once I noticed the OJ was fresh squeezed I knew the food wouldn’t disappoint. I was reminded what real Mexican food is supposed to taste like. The atmosphere is a bit of a throw back but it makes it even more authentic in its own right.

We went for some menudo today Sunday. It was our first time trying out this restaurant, so we didn’t know what to expect. We ordered to go. The menudo was delicious, it had that homemade taste we were hoping for. And it wasn’t over powered by the red Chile sauce used to to turn it red. So it was just the way we love to eat it. We will surely keep going back. Delicious.

I always go there to buy my tamales . They make them so delicious. I know the owners of the place and they are so nice and very friendly to me. At Christmas time my brothers and I order some tamales from them and usually they are cheaper by the dozen. We always get at least 4 to 5 dozens. This is such a nice place to eat it is also a restaurant. I just love there food.
