    Yelp reviews and the locals say this is the best place in town to eat. The unfortunate thing is it is probably true. It is a really small place but there are a lot of tables, they stack them in and squeeze between them to get to you. They put me in a booth that was not blocked so it didn't really bother me. I had a combo plate with a taco, chili relleno, enchilada, tamale and a chalupa. I find chalupas really awkward to eat so I asked if I could swap it for another taco and they did let me. Some of my food came right away, one taco and the enchilada. I have seen this before at mexican restaurants but I really don't like it. I prefer all my food at once. The taco and enchilada were nothing to write home about but not bad. when they were gone the rest of my meal came. The Chile Relleno was very good, a huge poblano overflowing with cheese. The tamale was covered and filled with shredded chicken. I was expecting ground beef so this was a good suprise. I could not finish all the food and If they brought all my food at once I would have finished the poblano and tamale and left a taco. I eat a lot of Mexican food, this was not super high on my list but it was a decent meal for a reasonable price. The compact feeling when you walk in might be the worst part.

    The food and service were both amazing! We are from Chicago and stopped here on the drive back from Disney. Super happy with our choice!

    Was honestly very surprised. Very beautiful fresh decor inside and the food matched it. And you wouldn't really expect it being in a small strip mall setting. There are a lot of meh dine in Mexican places out there but this place is top notch. Guacamole might be the best I've ever had. I didn't get much... just the queso fundldo... and it was very good quality and fresh. Top quality place and very fresh food. Would 100% come back when driving thru again.

    Amazing food & service. Stopped by and both my husband and I got their Macho Burrito, it was excellent -- both food and service! It was pretty busy when we came in; almost every table occupied. They still sat us within a few minutes and were quick to get us set up with drinks, chips, & salsa. Waitress was kind and came by often to see if we needed any more chips, etc. Super kind staff and quick service. We both got the Macho burrito and it was amazing. Very large portion size; a stacked burrito with every fixing you could ever want. Overall, the burrito was amazing, all the salsas were on it were very flavorful and the steak was excellent. The side of rice was impressionable & flavorful; probably the best Spanish rice we had ever had. We left full & happy, & with a lot of leftovers! Honestly, just an amazing place to get some good Mexican food. Can't believe this place doesn't have more reviews with how great it was & how busy it was. We really enjoyed our lunch here and will be back for sure. I would definitely recommend grabbing a bite here, you will not be disappointed!

    Small mexican restaurant with lots of seating and close to the interstate with lots of food options. Lunch pricing all days of the week, but crazy that the lunch meals did not include a combination with a taco! Burrito was a bit chewy but my enchilada was my fav. Large portions in the lunch option and quick service with friendly staff.

    I've been to this restaurant 5 times & every time not only is the food bomb, but also the food. If you're tired of the same old bland food with NO kick or spicy. This is a must try if you haven't already. This place is genuine in its mexican food.
