Great fast service and good food, I got the caporalito plate. Restroom gets a 3 star, since it's not handicap friendly. Not for me but for anybody that might need it.

First time at this restaurant and definitely not the last, staff was friendly and helpful and food was very very good. I had the Surtido plate and My Wife had the Hamburger Plate. Both were awesome. We will definitely be back soon.

I've lived near this restaurant for years and I finally went to check it out & OH MY GOD, it's amazing! The menu was touting authentic Mexican food & they definitely delivered. We tried a little bit of everything from gorditas to chalupas to enchiladas, & it was all delicious. I'm looking forward to going back but be aware, they close usually around 3pm so you'll want to get there early. Fanatic food & great service!

The food always delicious, the waitress not so nice sometimes. This was my 2nd Day in a row to go for breakfast and the chocolate milk was gone. I felt a Lil hurt, because I always look forward to there cold chocolate . Other than that everything was great. My waitress seemed as if she was under the stress running around. I still will give her a 5 stars because I know it's not her fault.
