Came on a Sunday for lunch and the place is busy. Large menu with lots of items not found at other Mexican restaurants. The chips and salsa were excellent. The food came out hot and delicious with large portions. I would definitely recommend the Fajitas combination as the steak, chicken, and shrimp were yummy. Recommend coming early as they get really busy during lunch. They have a few patio tables out front with two dining rooms. Lots of parking on the street and in the parking lot near the restaurant.

We had the queso fundido with chorizo, a molcajete supreme, which was filled with chicken, beef, shrimp, avocado slices, and jalapeño peppers, served over nopales (cactus), and drenched in a semi spicy red salsa. We also had an Empapelado, which is fish filet wrapped in foil. The fish was stuffed with shrimp, octopus, scallops, and abalone, and cooked/steamed with onions and bell peppers. These dishes included rice, beans, and guacamole. Everything was delicious and savory, and I forgot to mention that the tortillas were made fresh.
