Delicious authentic Mexican cuisine with the tortillas made by hand. They serve you a tiny bit of soup when you get their chips, three different types of salsas. It was delicious and overall a great Mexican restaurant experience. More

Not recommended at all. Bad atmosphere. I ordered a Gordita WITH RAJAS. Gave the first bite, but noticed NO rajas on it. I notified the waitress the issue. She took the gordita and brought back the same bite gordita, but now fulled of rajas plus missing a piece. I'm very disappointed. Bad customer service. First and last visit here. More
