Friendly competent staff, fast prep, good quality. Not the best area. Good vegetarian options. Shown is stuffed Chile Rellenos dinner. House red has a pleasant habernero kick and the house green is milder and herbal. Good job to this place. Cheers

I had MENUDO and it was super nice. Never had something like this in my life. My daughter had Enchiladas and she was so happy that the dish was so delicious

Stop by this restaurant yesterday around 2pm, food was great, the head tacos are amazing! Two young kids were working a boy and a girl very kind, very attentive asking the tables if they needed something! I liked seeing young kids working together and doing a good job, other places kids are just on there phones smh. Young kids probably like 16-17, it reminded me of me n my sister working and helping my parents. Love too see hardworking kids. I’m a truck driver I asked them if I could order to go beacsue I didn’t want my truck to be tow, but they kindly said it was fine for me to park, and to dine in. My server was very kind and helpful. She recommended caldo de res and I took it too go it was fabulous, will be back whenever I’m around !

Small little place tucked away in a strip mall setting. The menu has a lot to choose from. We got the shred beef chimichanga and asada beef burrito rancheros. Both were very good. I’d come back again.
