I always go to the laundry mat rite behind here (which side note the Swish and swirl laundry mate is the best) but yesterday I showed up kinda late to wash clothes and figured I would go get dinner from here when I was done. For one there asada was so fing good like really good I got the plate with rice and beans . Highly recommended and their they’re green tomato sauce was bomb like worth going back just for that pretty sure you can put it on a shoe and it would make it taste great

They have great Mexican food. You need to try their Tortas! The service is great. Anytime you ask for something made specifically to your liking the cook and the server do their best to not only meet but exceed your expectations. You have to try their flan!

Food was good and plentiful, and the price was right. Not the best I’ve had, but it definitely met expectations. The chips and salsa were my favorite part.

Excellent food and customer service. They accommodated us as we wanted vegetarian options. They also brought us three varieties of salsa with varying spice levels. The waiter was very friendly

I ordered the carnitas burrito. Hardly any meat, no flavor, mostly beans and rice. Salsa had not flavor either fish burrito same thing. Hardly any fish, mostly beans and rice and bland. This establishment is under new ownership. Hopefully they step up their game because the previous owners had excellent food. Customer service was good that’s why I’m giving 2 stars

Food always tastes good as it was this time. However everyone has an off day and maybe the cook was having one this visit. The meal tasted very good but was a little over cooked and tough. This won’t prevent me from going back because like I said before the food always tastes good. Normally I’d give them 5 stars but an off day took one away.
