Quaint little Mexican place that has been around since 1978 and moved from the Montrose area. Good food for a good price.

It was so good, we came back. Live just down the street. Probably the best cheese enchilada I've had in 20 yrs. Just perfect, with the chili gravy and homemade rice. You can't beat it!!!! guacamole is out-of-this-world as well.
First time here. Reasonably priced. Beans and rice are great. chips and salsa great. Love it that the waiter speaks English. Will be back!!!

Was recently in the neighborhood and decided to pop in and grab a (very) late lunch/early dinner and was very pleasantly surprised by this little gem!
First of all, the inside was very neat and clean - well organized and bright and happy.
The service was excellent - prompt, friendly, and helpful.
The chips and nice a crunchy, you can tell they’re made in house. The salsa is fresh and just spicy enough - both excellent.
I had the shredded chicken flauta plate. Same goes for flautas - totally homemade and piping hot from the fryer. Beans and rice were also very tasty. One minor place for improvement - rice and beans could have been a bit warmer.
I will absolutely be back - can’t wait to try more menu items.

They have authentic enchiladas mexicanas. I used to go to their montrose location for them. Then they moved here. The enchiladas don’t have that gravy or typical Tex med sauce. It’s chiles fried in oil sauce. Very good and unique.

Tried this place today since our normal Mexican breakfast place is closed Sundays. YUM. Two tacos + hot coffee done right. Love the fresh tomato salsa. Super tasty and a perfect addition to the breakfast tacos. Not sure why another review said it was so spicy? Didn’t strike me as anything but yummy. Will go back.

We ordered sopes, tacos al carbon, and gorditas. All very good. Customer service was great - very attentive. We were the only ones we first arrived, so we were skeptical - but soon after the place got full. Everyone was super friendly and made us feel right at home. Hope to be able to able to go back and try their caldos!

Finally found a good Mexican restaurant with excellent homemade chips, salsa & flour tortillas. I recommend the chicken mole, de pechuga plate with delicious rice & beams. Server was also courteous & helpful. I'll be returning

I love that they have an avocado option instead of meat for tacos and other items. They have a good selection of delicious Mexican food for everyone. I'm vegetarian, so I love my avocado tacos from here with a big glass of ice cold tea...or beer 😁

I'm working on a remodel project in the are and needed some lunch. Found this place and saw the ratings were good. I stopped and had tacos all carbon, they were delicious. My colleague had a shrimp taco and chicken taquetos. Man the service and food was really good we came back the next day for lunch again. That will be my next review.

What a great find! Delicious place to get Mexican food. They even have Mexican Sopes which I have been struggling to find a place that has them! We will definitely be back here. The morning coffee is a great way to kick off Sunday morning.
