Ohmigoodness, this place is SO good . My mom and I have been trying to find the “Perfect” Mexican restaurant for a couple’ve years now . She grew up in South Texas ( near the border ) , and traveling to Mexico a lot when I was a kid. We Know Mexican food . And this place is Right on it . Made me feel like I was back in Mexico again . Food Amazing , because they Know what they doing . The atmosphere very cute , “ Real “ Spanish speaking Mexicans . The homemade hot sauce was out of this World . Today was the second time , us going . We stumbled upon it the first time, it was SO good we HAD to come back and I was so excited to taste the deliciousness again I forgot to take a picture . Ooops . I promise , I’ll update my review with photos next time . SO good . MUST go ?????????????????

The food is really good. Family owned and operated which is always a big plus. I have been going here for several years and never disappointed.

The meats have really good flavor here. All of them the Carne asada, Barbacoa and the Chicken everything I had has tasted excellent.

I tried this restaurant for the first time today. I ordered the chicken tacos and guacamole w/chips via DoorDash for my virtual team lunch today, and let me just say this was the best Mexican food I've had in years! Those chicken tacos were so seasoned and so authentic omg!!! ? I destroyed two of the tacos and the guacamole on camera with no shame! The tacos came with two different sauces, one mild and one very spicy. I mixed them together because the Spicy one definitely had some heat! The guacamole was so fresh and oh so good! It was a good portion too for the money and very filling. I've lived in the area for almost 10 years and have probably drove past this restaurant plenty of times and had no idea what I was missing out on, but I will definitely be back. I actually look forward to dining in the next time for the full experience! ?

I happened upon this amazing little restaurant today! When opening the door, I was surprised to find the restaurant so beautifully decorated! Every table is painted in colorful scenes of Mexico, and the booth backs are little dioramas. The walls are covered with Aztec art and other artifacts. It was very busy but the service was still great! They have fresh fruit juices, I had the melon one and it was tasty and refreshing. The pechuga de pollo was perfectly cooked and served with a side of fresh corn tortillas. I highly recommend it!

The food was so well-seasoned and everything tasted incredibly fresh. I had ordered fajitas and the chicken, beef, and shrimp were so savory, the fajitas required no additional seasoning or condiments of any kind. No sour cream, no salsa, it was perfectly divine just the way it came on the plate. I’m pretty certain the guacamole is made at the precise moment it is ordered. We had ordered one portion and upon tasting the guacamole, we immediately ordered two more! Absolutely scrumptious! I’ve been to several Mexican dining places in the area, and this one is by far my favorite one. Even the tortilla chips taste like they’re home-made and not bought from a store. I was so impressed by this culinary euphoria that I’m actually awarding it five stars. I’ve never even bothered to rate most of the other places I’ve eaten before, so that should tell you something. Oh, and for those of us who like natural juices, they squeeze and make their own! I remember pineapple and melon. Highly recommend!

Great food with a Mexican flair. You can't go wrong with this place.

This is my favorite Mexican place. Tastes authentic, and reminds me of when I lived in Los Angeles. The burrito is awesome and the tacos are super authentic. Their hot sauce is my favorite. I’ve been here several times and always had a great experience. The service is quick but you might have to wait for a table because it’s seriously a hole in the wall but the food is worth it.

My favorite all around! This is the only one I feel is TRULY authentic! Tiny, all booths, doesn't look like much from the outside, but wow! I'm glad I gave it a chance! Service is great too! ?×10, imo

Space is limited to 8 booths and, they have a HEALTHY take-out business. From the corn chips, made with course ground corn to the two choices of sauce (Habanero and 'Salsa'), the experience took me back to Oaxaca. The smell of the food, the freshness, the incredibly realistic "Mexican" feel and way of doing things adds to every step of the meal. You can tell this is going to be one of those growth success stories and, if they sold stock, I'd buy. Before you go, please understand this is a safe area BUT...it's a strip mall location with a bar, a tattoo parole and a small "village" grocery store. This is NOT a full-size Mexican restaurant. Be aware and prepared, not discouraged.
