Our Guestbook
“ Friendly service there, we all had a similar dish served with a different sauce base. All of them were flavorful. The house made drinks were delicious as well. ”
“ I came here on recommendation of a friend. The price is right but I didn't really love the food that much. I tried the carne asada and the meat was salty and dry. Service was fast though and the servers are friendly. This place is a true hole in the wall-- the restroom had a pillow in the stall for some odd reason? I liked the rice and beans. My bf got the tacos which looked quite good. If we return, I'd definitely try the tacos again. At the register they have a huge selection of interesting candies, which was kinda cool and I would love to try some next time. ”
“ This place was recommended to me by someone and it didn't disappoint. It has the authentic feel, I love menudo and this place has the best so far IMO. All the waitresses are very nice and attentive. I wish they served alcohol here lol. I'm coming back to try other food. ”
“ Found this place on Yelp and wow so glad I did. The prices are great, the service very friendly and the food great. I had the daily special of chicken fajitas for $11.99. Tasty tender chicken, rice light and fluffy and beans were excellent. No complaints, hope to go back again before I leave town. ”
“ Other than come check it out for yourself because you won't be disappointed! A little place out of the way, hidden just the way I like it. Food and service was on point. ”
