If you're looking for authentic mexican food, look no further. The food is amazing, the staff is very polite & attentive & they want to make sure you get the best experience. The place is also very clean & the decor gives you that authentic mexican rural feel. Love it. I would definitely recommend this place any time.

The carnitas tacos are super flavourful & tender, & the birria is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend if you're craving authentic Mexican food. Also the 7$promo are such a great deal. Thank you!! Ps. Don't miss the chocoflan!! 🤤🤤

I past by 2-3 days ago & Food was Amazing & i'm actually upset that i didn't know this place before. Authentic at 100% i think they need to work on their marketing if people started to know where this is & how to get here. It would blow up ( for now i must gate keep) the cashier/server mention to scan something but i totally forgot.. couldve got me a free Taco smh but anyways i'm planing on coming next week again ( my go to Mexican place)
