This place was really great! My wife found this place. She said the beans were like her grandmother used to make! The dish I had was delicious! Highly recommend!

Food was delicious. The place was quiet for a Sunday afternoon, which was great because we got fast service and could hear conversation at the table. I had the Garden Benedict. Everything was great, I cleaned my plate! 10/10 would recommend again.

Let's take a moment & appreciate this image. Not only does it look delicious but it smelled & tasted fantastic, take it from the person who is very very particular or as some like to call it "Picky" when it comes to my Mexican food. This was my Lunch 3 item combo plate. Chicken Tamale, Chile relleno & a shredded beef enchilada. Everything was flavorful from the beans & rice to the other items. This was my first time here & I am not disappointed, so I definitely recommend this place.

We came here for a baby shower and it was a fantastic experience. The outdoor patio was clean and had plenty of room for our large. They had lots of options and everything came in pretty generous portions. I was really happy to see options for vegetarians as well. I got the taco salad without meat and it was really tasty. The service was very good and our waitress was kind enough to take some pictures for us as well. Update 6/21/2022 I came back again with my husband and it's still great! They took really good care of us even though we sat out in the patio. They made sure we had plenty of water and napkins and whatever we might need. I got the taco salad again and the waitress added extra veggies again since I asked for no meat, which I really appreciate. Husband got carnitas and he really enjoyed them. He said they tasted really authentic, well seasoned, tender and crispy on the outside from the fry. Really glad we found this place!

Wonderful food and they serve generous portions. They have friendly service and their prices are reasonable. I Love their appetizer sampler, It is huge. Everything I have had is delicious. This time I got the ala carte taquitos. They where only a 8 and I feel like I got my moneys worth.

We had a group of 45 of us converge in them at the last minute. They were so accommodating. The service was excellent, and the food tasted amazing. It was way less crowded than I would expect for the quality of food and service, which worked out great for us. It was so good that several of us went back the next day before leaving town. The refried beans could be a little thicker, but they taste amazing.
