A friend and I were visiting PA , and decided to give this Mexican restaurant a try, and I must say, I was blown away by the quality of the food and service. The experience was nothing short of amazing. The chicken enchiladas were absolutely delicious, and I could not get enough of them. The flavor was very unique and perfect, and I found myself savoring every bite. The rice was also a standout dish, cooked to perfection and complementing the enchiladas perfectly. The only “con “ of this place is the size of the location, it’s quite small and can get VERY loud at the back of the restaurant. Overall, I highly recommend this Mexican restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic dining experience. The Enchiladas and rice were outstanding, and I can confidently say that you will not be disappointed.
Delicious! The food came out so fast!I had the Tuna Ceviche Tostada and Chicken Pastor Burrito. Truly flavor in every bite. The service was very attentive. Recommend having seating reservations, otherwise there is a 1.5-2 hour wait or bar seating.
Great happy hour! We got one of everything for the happy hour - food $1-$4 and $5 margaritas. The street corn is well seasoned but would be better if grilled. All the tacos were great, vegetarian taco and eggplant enchiladas were particularly good. Vegetarian options: Happy hour veg taco and eggplant enchiladas were great
