What our guests are saying
I don't know how to describe the food. I stayed down in the area and went multiple times as it was that good. I consider driving the two and a half hours just to get it almost daily. 110% is a must.
Thomas H.
Wow. This place was absolutely delicious. I got a shrimp burrito and my wife got a shrimp plate—so tasty. Good, friendly service.
Chris R.
A very cosy little spot with indoor and outdoor seating, easy to get to, great and friendly staff, and delicious tacos. I had three tacos al pastor, very delicious.
Frederick C.
This is a good place at a general Mexican restaurant. Staff is efficient. It’s good food. It’s simple and basic, nothing fancy. But a nice place to eat.
