I love the food here. They serve huge positions, and they are very tasty. The queso is a little spicy, but it’s great. My favorite is the arroz con pollo or the pollo street tacos.

The food was pretty good. The service was good as well. apparently it's under new management and no longer owned by Antonio, who we absolutely loved but I would still recommend.

This is probably the best Mexican restaurant (with dine in option) in Madison. Been there a few times, always been very happy with the food. Good service too.

We dined on 6May25, the server was very friendly and attentive. The food was some of the better we have had in the area as it appears they use fresh quality ingredients that are custom made upon ordering. Now our favorite go to Mexican restaurant.

Everyone was so nice and friendly. Being pregnant I was craving carne asada fries and they were able to accommodate me. It is my first time there and I definitely will be coming back!
