Really enjoy the food here. Very authentic and great size of plates. I recommend having a different plate every time to really experience everything they have to offer. Todo muy rico. Los platillos son muy auténticos y el sabor de los platillos son muy ricos.
We ended up discovering this place in 2023 when the location we weee going to was closed. This is a great find. The food is made fresh to your order instead of sitting in a heap waiting to be re heated. My daughter ordered the flauta dinner and it was very filling for her and she took half of it home. I ordered the burrito and they did not skimp on the meat. This location is well worth it and the service is always good.
Very nice ppl the cook was very nice too the lady at the register she was very helpful
