Great Mexican food restaurant downtown! Of course it’s downtown and the parking is hard but it is worth coming here great food and service! Plenty of places to seat down and eat! Flavor is definitely there!
This has been a family favorite for 4 generations. Everything on the menu is delicious. Portions are generous. Freshly made flour and corn tortillas, & chips. Service is top notch. Food seems to fly out of the kitchen. They've been doing it forever and it shows. Highly recommend.
Simple old school Mexican restaurant downtown. We ordered a chile relleno plate and a caldo de res. Generous serving size and nice service. Food was tasty. The salsa for chips had a nice kick.
No wait during a weekday lunchtime. Good food, decent atmosphere, great service. We shared the chicken nachos (sans beans) and were so caught up in our meal that we forgot to snap a pic before diving in!
