This restaurant has been around for a long time and a very good family business. Everything is made fresh to order. The tacos are filled with a lot of meat and the enchiladas and taquitos are just delicious.

Very Good Carne Asada Tortas. We were going to have Lengua (cows tongue) but, it was soaking in green chili which upsets my family's stomach. Othewise it did look delicious. Prices were reasonable.

Great place! The mole was so flavorful, and the meats were juicy without being oily. Wonderful service and reasonable prices, too! Definitely worth coming!

Deliciously prepared Mexican food, very reasonable prices, I love this restaurant. I always leave with a full stomach and full wallet and it's about as authentic Mexican as you can get around here.
