This restaurant is family owned and operated. It was great to see young people share their live of Mexican food with the community. It's delicious ! We tried various things that regret not taking pictures of the dishes. It was very tasty. I highly recommend it, and we'll be eating there again every chance we get to.

Stopped by for a late breakfast and was not disappointed. You could tell that everything on the plate was made fresh. I was treated with a smile and will definitely be back if I get a load this way. Thanks to the staff for their hospitality!

I want to say first impressions are everything, but that wouldn't be completely true. I felt good when the sweet staff made me feel welcomed and were patient with my questions and dietary restrictions, but I fell in love with the delicious food. Everything was perfectly seasoned, the perfect home-cooked meal away from home! I can't wait to come back

Authentic Mexican food for sure. It is a very small place but the food was freakin outstanding if you go here and you should go check it out it is NOT a chain so don't expect the usual. Again it is Authentic all the way. Very good food and service. Please stop in and see for yourself.

Stopped by on their grand opening last week & I’ve been back twice since then. Food is fresh, you can tell & taste that they make it when you order, no frozen foods. I took my family my second visit as the food reminded me of our own families home cooked meals we all paid about $14-$20 per person that’s a pretty good price to me for quality & quantity. Parking is small & right now they’re only taking cash & Venmo as the card machine isn’t up, which can be an inconvenience to some but personally the food is worth it! I wish them much success!
