WOW, first time coming in and the food is awesome as well as the service. The nice lady at the counter was patient and explained the specials to myself and another first timer. You can’t beat the specials price, $9.99 with a drink. I got 2 different specials, the Chicken Elote and 2 Birria Tacos. Flavor packed, fresh, plentiful juicy chicken. Made first a nice lunch. Located in the old Korean resturant in the South Plaza Mall. Definitely will be back to try more of their menu and maybe even try breakfast. Give them a try! UPDATE: Enjoyed it so much went back the next day. The sample plate and the beef enchiladas were equally yummy. No overpowering flavors, just good food cooked with love and soul.

We discovered this place 2 weeks ago. We ordered the sampler platter. It was delicious. We also ordered the birra and itbwas beyond words. Today we stopped in for the lunch special (half platter) Delicious!! They staff and owners ate super friendly and very attentive. If you want authentic Mexican food then stop here. I can’t wait for the food truck in the summer. Looking forward to the chicharon. Oh yeah and Saturdays (tomorrow) we are headed back for the menudo.

If you’re looking for the best restaurant (not even Mexican restaurant – Best RESTAURANT) in Grand Forks, then stop your scroll, my friend.
Get the Birria tacos and your life will no longer be sad. The owner is a no-nonsense, amazingly kind woman who truly cares about her guest’s experience and food quality.
Want an incredible brunch? Stop in on the weekends for tres leches pancakes and the potato chorizo bowl.

Delicious and fast! The lunch special is amazing! Birria tacos, rice, a little cup of soup, and the amazing berry hibiscus drink. Had the strawberry tres leche for dessert.
