Lived in the neighborhood for over a year, and never popped into this great Mexican family owned restaurant. Really great service and food, and local ambience makes this my new go too.

This established restaurant has been in the neighborhood for years. Currently owned by Earl and Mary Rose Wilcox. The tacos de res was good. The red chile was spicy and full of meat. The beans and rice were delicious.
