Excellent food with a large variety of menu choices. They serve a house sauce along with the salsa and chips. The wait staff were friendly and very helpful. There are different drink specials for every day of the week. The food tasted wonderful and we will definitely be back to try some other things in the menu!

If I gave my honest opinion this is by far the worst mexican experience I've had. The rice is plain with enchilada sauce mixed in the pico is made with old tomatoes. I will never return or send any of my friends here. Bad experience and the last! Chips taste burnt! Dont go! More

This is a great local place for Mexican food in the 40/42 area. They’re have really fast service and aren’t shy with their portions. Atmosphere is like most Mexican restaurants & they have an outdoor patio area. If you’re wondering if it’s worth going to, the answer is -yes! More

Chicken fajita salad had so much liquid in the bottom of the container it made the shell and salad ingredients soggy! Beef taco tasted awesome but was very small for the price. I think the Benson location gives better quality food and … More

Our first time here and it was delicious. From the beef taco to the potato burrito to the mushroom enchilada to the bean taco, all incredibly tasty. We were seated immediately despite it being a busy lunch hour and our food was on the table not long afterwards. Will definitely be back. More

Everything was cooked well and in good portions, but lacked a lot of flavor I'm used to from a Mexican restaurant. That does not mean it was not good, just you do not need to worry about it being heavily seasoned or too hot to handle. … More

Had my favorite lunch, chori pollo, and it was very good. The chicken was done well, but the chorizo was lacking flavor. The meal was hot as it should be. Service was excellent (nobody coming every 5 minutes asking how is everything) and … More

I had this for lunch today and it was so finger licking delicious I had to leave a review, and I forgot I had already left one before. Food continues to be amazing and fresh. The salsa verde is so good I could drink it.
Great food, amazing service, and friendly staff! The food is consistently delicious, it's always ready on time, and I'm greeted with a smile every time! I highly recommend this restaurant and the team!

It was pretty good, my first time visiting. I wanted to try multiple things so I tried the taco platter, I would say 4 of the 6 were pretty good. Two I didn't like to much. I would probably be back and try something else. I over heard some people in the booth next to me that really liked the fajitas.
The service was great and the place was clean. The food came out fast.
