Our waitress was nice😊, we got good service and between the barbacoa plate and the combination Mocajete our bill was about 50$ with 2 sodas. We will definitely return when we are on that side of town🤗 …

Delicious authentic Mexican food. The menu has many items to choose from, tacos, burritos, fajitas, and even seafood. You can make your own combo with two or three entrees. Drinks came out delicious as well. We really enjoyed the atmosphere. Come and check it out.

Everything is fantastic, including their margaritas, which are huge but always a place that we pick for Mexican food. Try the shrimp cocktail, it's the bomb.

We got seated right away, and the service was super friendly and quick. If you're into real Mexican food that's not too pricey, I'd totally suggest this place.

First time there. Very attentive servers (and friendly), good salsa and green chile, quick turnaround, pricing is good — honestly, no complaints. Had a nice time, and enjoyed the movie star pics as well!

This place is amazing! The salsa is perfect, with just the right amount of heat. There is nothing unauthentic about the enchilada sauce! I will be back!
