We are always pleased with the great selection of dishes, the freshness of all ingredients and the fantastic service. And the slightly spicy mango salsa is a great add on.
You will not be disappointed!

Very good food. Small business, popular, be patient. Enjoy the salsa bar.

Service and food was wonderful... It was a little cluttered and the salsa bar was not great, only 6 choices ( all hot ) ours at home have 18 with mild and sweet choices...

Holy cow what a little gem. Great friendly service, good food, fast, good portion for price. Bonus salsa bar!!! The mango Chile salsa was delicious (a little spicy fyi :) ). We both got burritos. We were just passing through but we will be back!! I don’t know how this place doesn’t have a higher rating for real.

This place has been a family favorite since I was a child. The only thing off the last time I went was how slow the service was. Other than that they were very friendly food was hot and filling with lots of left overs.

Great place to eat. Waiters and waitresses were wonderful! We've returned several times. The food has a flavor I haven't found in other places. Also family owned and run as far as I could see. Love supporting local businesses!

Great food, very tasteful. Nice vibe. Loved the appetizer “guacamole Mexicano”. When visiting back the region for sure we will back.

Had a great dinner here. Seems to be family owned and operated with very welcoming staff. Chori Queso was some of the best I’ve had. Nightly happy hour specials, I got the $4.50 blue margarita. Will be back.

Food and service was excellent. We went here on a recommendation from our host and it definitely didn't disappoint.
