“ Christian took the best care of our party of 9 plus a baby! We started with chips and salsa and it was so good and fresh! We appreciated the slight kick in the salsa, very flavorful. Margaritas followed, I tried the one with smoke, I will not do that again BUT the tacos, carne asada fries, burritos, quesadillas and steak fajitas were ahhhhmazing! We were in town for our sons masters graduation and found this gem in Yelp! So happy we did! ”
“ My vote for the very best Mexican diner in IE, which is saying allot. A stand out kitchen dishing out excellent platos with stellar goods to dollar ratio. I had the special of the day, chicharrones - stewed pork excellence. This place is everything good about a local, mom n pop Mexican Cafe personified - friendly service, incredibly rich flavors, excellent value all in one. 5 big stars. ”

“ Had the chicharron special, small pozole, menudo. I honestly have never had a bad experience here. The chicharron was incredible! The flavors omg spicy, and so tasty. The green pozole one of my favorites and will always be. The place is clean, bathroom was clean. The strawberry margarita is also a staple for me. The service is on point fast for a busy Sunday. Enjoy! ”
“ Best Carne Asada ever! Any dish with Carne Asada is bomb! The Guac is always fresh, the way they do their beans is prob my favorite. (I don't even like beans that much) Every time we are in the area, we hit this place up multiple times. The food is consistently good The staff is always friendly The place does get busy, but we haven't needed to wait a long time. Love this place! ”
“ They never fail! Came back here the other day because I was in town, they were so friendly and the food is DELICIOUS! We came in around 6:40 on a Thursday night, even though they close at 7:30 they were so welcoming. There also weee a decent amount of people inside still eating. There's a ton of indoor and outdoor seating but the parking situation is a bit tough. ”
