You can't go wrong here! Excellent food, authentic Mexican cuisine. Excellent prices, cold drinks and friendly staff! Mariachi band around dinner time most nights. Usually a few minutes wait.

My all time favorite fresh Mexican food. All of the food is really good. The crab enchiladas are the best ever. Loaded with crab and the red enchilada sauce is amazing.
