Great service. Food was mediocre at best. The food wasn’t hot. It was cool. I ordered chicken enchiladas. Churro had no cinnamon so it was a fried stick.

This has always been one of my favorite places to eat. After more than 20 years of patronage, I’ve never been disappointed. Fantastic salsa and shredded beef.

Very friendly staff, the food is delicious with the authentic Mexican touch, you don’t have to go to Mexico to try their cuisine, affordable prices, more than 100 delicious dishes, if you are hungry, you will find everything under one roof.
