Their succulent Carnitas Tacos are a crowd favorite - tender, slow-cooked pork topped with tangy pickled onions and fresh cilantro, nestled in warm corn tortillas.

The Chile Relleno is a delightful blend of roasted poblano pepper stuffed with savory cheese, dipped in a light egg batter, and smothered in a zesty tomato sauce. Don't miss out on the sizzling Fajitas, with marinated grilled steak or chicken served with warm tortillas, flavorful sautéed peppers, and onions.

Solid food for a reasonable price. The portions reminded me of years ago before Mexican food became the "it" food. Parking: Decent size parking lot.

When I come in today? I'm looking at the menu they have old menu above. When I ask about price, he says the new menu is behind him. I kind of said it won't maybe you should probably take the old Mini down in a nice way and he just looked at me. Food overpriced I think not really authenti think the beef is low budget. Rice, pretty good. Now I have more than half of my plate leaves. Cost 15 dollars, probably just give it to somebody who is hungry, sad, face, kind of disappointed.
