Service was excellent and prompt. We ordered the street tacos and they were excellent. Loved the salsa and sauce. Grest food with good prices. Could stand a little updates to the inside, but will definitely return!

Our order has never been correct any time we have called in. For someone with a shellfish allergy, that can be dangerous.

I was craving for some good Mexican food and told my husband what I wanted from this place because I thought to give it a try. So I got the Plato Carne Asada and my husband got some tacos. Well when he got back to our hotel to eat, I opened my tray and was already disappointed by how it looked because most of it looked dry. I started to eat it and it was not what I’m used to since I know Mexican food, steak was bland, beans were probably the driest part of the meal, rice was okay and the lettuce was kind of soggy. I couldn’t finish it but my husbands tacos were good except the limes looked dead and barely had juice in them. Maybe this place is a hit or miss but we wouldn’t recommend.

Just tried this place for the first time. I found this place in the internet, I looked at the pictures of the food and the place and wanted to give it a try. The restaurant looks clean and organized on the internet but very different when I got there. ? Didn't look as clean as the pictures on the internet. Needs to clean more.. I'm Mexican and didn't like the salsa, I'm sure it was a from a jar. (I know about fresh salsas). I told the server I didn't like the salsa a d she brought a different one. Food took more time than usual. But I got to say that the server was nice, and she came to us with fresh made churros as a courtesy. Maybe for the long wait.

If I could give it zero stars I would. Ridiculous. I ordered and they told me the wait would be about 20 minutes. It ended up being an hour wait despite there being only two other customers. I'd like to say the wait was worth it but I'd be lying. The tortillas were still raw, you could taste the raw masa. And, the carne asada was flavorless. Do not recommend.

Roanoke’s best kept secret for legit Mexican. The queso has some kind of fresh peppers, and it’s unlike any other I’ve had. And the burritos can’t be beat.

Forgot to make my order, then brought us chips and guacamole without us asking, which I thought was them being professional and courteous, but then I was charged. Took an hour to get my actual meal.Staff was nice and food was good, but the service we’ll keep me from going back… they weren’t even busy

Great family owned place. I had the torta de carne asada and it fulfilled my need for one, and on top of that it's cheap! 10/10 definitely will be coming back.

Very friendly people work here; it seems like a family business type of place. It wasn't too busy when we got here, and the food was ready quickly. The guacamole was the best I've ever had, and the Jamaica (flavored water drink) was really good. My partner got tacos, and he loved them so much, he got another order to go. Would recommend!
