Omg I can't say enough good things about this place, from the service to the food everything was amazing! We got tostadas, stuffed pepper, and quesadilla with chicken... Then we ordered tres leches cake and it was the BEST cake I've ever had!!!! Might look like a shack, but these guys rock!!!

I just love these small Mexican restaurants that serve good food at reasonable prices. Since they don't serve margaritas, I think I will bring my own and invite the owner to join me. Ole!

Been coming here for over 5 years. The food is always great, the service is always great. It's got a cute interior that's perfect for eating with friends or on a date. Good prices. Carry out is fast, too! Highly recommend *I asked for extra cilantro...because I love cilantro* ...
