This is hands down my favorite place to order from in Rochester. No matter what you pick it’s always top notch! Great service, great food, and just a great place all around. Thank you guys for all that you do, I’ll be a customer for life!

First time being here with family for Valentine’s Day ! It was great. Food and everything. They even took pictures of us, and sang it was so much fun. The owner is amazing and a very nice man. Will definitely come back again.

Staying at Hilton Garden inn while at Mayo. We ordered #s 132 and 130 from the menu this is one of the best Mexican food we have had. I long time Next time we need to come down. We will be ordering again 5 STARS

While the outside is non-descript, one opens the door to a bright, colorful, elaborately decorated and festive environment. With all the anticipation, one encounters the counter from which to order your meal. The pandemic affects all of us, including the ever-increasing presence of the ordering counter. While the income of a server depends partly on the degree of friendly, knowledgeable service, this counter could improve the atmosphere. The food is good, yet with a little creativity from the cooks, could be great or even outstanding. Searching for a HOT sauce, the ten bowls of condiments do not provide even one, only mild at best. The palates of hearty, Minnesota nice people probably can’t take the heat, yet there are others who love it. Overall, this is a good place. Look elsewhere for a great or better one.

The ambiance at this place is great. Eddie the owner is great. The food is outstanding and it just feels right. This is definitely something that needs to be experienced. Also makes good take out, delicious.

It was amazing. Food was top notch. Service was quick and attentative. Accuracy was superb. 10/10 recommend this place for a good eating spot.

Rochester's best place for authentic Mexican food. Prices are fairly reasonable, the Tacos and Churros are delicious and the decor is just beautiful! Felt like I was back in Mexico.

Got a street taco for my Puerto Rican fiance, and an enchilada for myself. Both of us were IN LOVE at first bite. Definitely worth the visit, and we'll be stopping in soon ? (and you should too ?)

I witnessed the most selfless, caring, and understanding moment here tonight.A homeless man came in requesting the staff call police to give him a ride to the warming shleter.. The gentleman behind the counter, Eddie, went above and beyond . Not only did what the man requested, but he also had a Meal made for that man to eat while he waited for the ride to the warming shelter.Eddie was fantastic, the world needs more humble people like him.10/10 would eat here again.Staff is amazing! Food even better!
