Sorry about the pic's. The food looked too good to wait for the before pic's, so I have during pic's. It was all very good. Some of the best salsa and cheese dip ever.

The food was very well prepared. The enchiladas supreme was excellent. The grilled with rice was perfect. The chicken fingers kids was great and large portion. The cheese dip is a must get item. The staff very friendly and helpful.

Fabulous Service and Delicious food. The Shrimp Ceviche (was much larger before I started devouring it) was fantastic with the fresh, hot tortilla chips The Steak and Shrimp Fajitas were Superb We sat in the back so that the blowers wouldn't make our food too cold too quickly.

First of all, Homero took excellent care of us! He was very attentive. Everything we ordered was delicious and by far my favorite Mexican restaurant!

Enjoyed the service and food. Ordered three soft tacos. They were huge. Mostly meat. Also Ordered an enchilada. It was ok. Be better if the meat had some seasoning like taco seasoning or salt. Cheese dip and salsa were good also.

I just have to say 1 thing. The chimichangas are delicious. You guys have great food. Eating here feels so good. Definitely getting chimichangas every visit.

The server gave us great service with delicious food. We love tacos, and they had some new menu items to experience here. The fish tacos with pineapple got some unique responses, but they were enjoyed. The fish was fresh, and the corn and flour tortillas were perfectly cooked. The burrito was as big as we've ever ordered, an excellent value for the price. Shredded beef is not something we normally order, but the broth it simmered in earned good reviews from the 3 foodies. The street corn was a bit strange with a lot of sauce and cheese, but the unique presentation in a Styrofoam cup still tasted alright. Horchata got a 3/5, not tasting bad, just watery. The quesadilla had great flavor and cooked really well. Guacamole was simple, avocados and a little additional seasoning. Good for dipping. The queso had a good flavor, too. We'd return here. Good value for the food and cost to feed our large family.
