Good food and didn’t take long to get I ask to sit outside and they went and cleaned the tables before I got out there to sit.

We had another great meal here! The food was exceptional as always! We have never had a bad meal here. The staff is always friendly and attentive, this is above and beyond considering there is no table service. They even come to take care of the dishes when they have time. I really like being able to get a healthy meal and fast food speed. They have great fresh pick and homemade salsa too.

I was with my boys on the way back to Iowa and found this place on accident. It made me feel like I was back at my tia Angela's house in Mexico. The people were so sweet, the food was amazing and authentic, especially the rice. I will be taking the 45 minute drive from my house to enjoy this place again .

Tried this place while in town for work. It was pretty good! Went in after a group of people, so there was a bit of a line to wait in. But I like how they have images of their dishes on the wall for you to look at and pick what you want (because yes, I am the type that has zero idea what the difference is between an enchilada and burrito and chimichanga). Food is made to order, so its hot and fresh. Staff was very nice and welcoming, clearly knew what they were doing so everything came out as anticipated. The restaurant is small, but was able to get a table, no problem. They even had tables outside which is nice. Though, it was in the upper 80's and humid, so eating a hot taco (or burrito?) outside was not on my list of things I wanted to do that day. Would definitely go again and pick another picture off the wall to try.

They had some of the best fresh food I have tasted in a long time! I felt like it was authentic. It was packed full of flavor and I want to go back. I was mad I wasn't able to stop in the last time I was down there! Bare food is good
