I can not wait to come again. That says alot! Parking is a bit odd, you enter one way and have to go around the building to exit and it was a little warm inside. But the food was BOMB! I loved my enchilada combination plate. The red sauce was delicious! The rice and beans were delicious. My mom had the Molcajete Mixto and she LOVED it! She never finishes her food when we go out and she actually finished it. It did come with rice and beans which she didn't touch but thats because the Molcajete Mixto was alot. It was a bit busy, we did wait about 25 minutes for our food but I only saw two waiters and they were hustling. Our waiter was back and forth, non stop and still so friendly. Both waiters were great! I already told my husband that is my new favorite Mexican restaurant.

The food and service was surprisingly excellent. We didn't have high hopes for this visit, and we're MORE than pleasantly surprised. The interior is a bit aged. It didn't take away from the flavor and service experience.

1st time visiting this place. Our friends decided to want to sit in the bar area, and let me say the bartender was ... He was very attentive and patient with us even when he had people at the bar and tables... I did a special request for my enchiladas to have the mole sauce instead and it was gooooood... My husband was impressed with the Molcajete Trio that he ordered due to the fact it was good and not as expensive as other places.. Our daughter ordered chicken nuggets and fries and our friend the green enchiladas..

This restaurant holds a special place in our hearts. From the moment you walk in, you are treated like family. The food is always fresh and made with genuine care, every dish tastes like it was cooked with love. The desserts are consistently excellent, and the service is truly top-notch. Our drinks are never empty, and we always leave feeling appreciated. It is more than just a meal here, it is an experience filled with warmth and connection. This place meant so much to my grandpa, and he continued to enjoy it right up until his final week. That says everything about the kind of place this is.

Our server was very friendly, and made sure to check on us to make sure we didn't need anything! Will be visiting again soon! Update: Been here several times after my first experience and it is always delicious!
