I've been getting the burrito carnitas for years now & it's always hits the spot. Also highly recommend their fruit paletas

Hidden gem in Pointe Saint Charles with an amazing $25 tapas menu that includes a delicious margarita or beer. Highly recommend the quesadillas, burritos, tacos, & bowls. Chips & guac are also great. Plus, has a nice terrace in the summer.

I love this place! Great margaritas, nice food for very decent price, & not too busy. A nice place that I highly recommend.

They have a Tapas & Margarita menu for 25$, so worth it!

Highly recommend their chicken quesadilla supreme & enchilada with salsa verde. Their sides, rice with beans & salad are super good too.
