We tried the place out months ago going into the restaurant, everything was great. Tonight we got fajitas delivered and it was an amazing value. We have tons of leftovers and it was probably one of the best fajitas I’ve ever had.

Hands down the best Mexican food—potentially in all of Tampa Bay. We came to this restaurant starving—not knowing what to expect. Expectations were low to be honest. We’ve been disappointed before. As soon as hit the door the aroma cued to us that this place...Read More

Amazed this place is not busier, I know why. It’s the outside signage and dark windows. BUT don’t let that turn you away. The food is always amazing and the staff are extremely nice and knowledgeable. Give it a try, toy won’t regret it.

One of the best Mexican spots I’ve had in Florida, the carne asada burrito was amazing and so were my wife’s birria tacos. I’d 100% recommend trying them out.
