What our guests are saying
I really enjoy spicy. Their salsa was great but adding the habanero sauce made it perfect for me. The tacos were absolutely great and the fried ice cream was incredible. Came out atop an elephant ear type of thing. So good. I had the Shuko de Salchicha, quesabirrias with consomé, fried plantains, and a mangonada. The quesabirria was the standout — rich, cheesy, flavorful, and perfectly balance

BEST quesabirria I have ever had in my life! It was perfectly balanced and not overly salty. The combination of crunchiness, melted cheese, and tender meat was shockingly good! Make sure to try the nacho and salsa. On top of that, the staff were sweet and helpful, which made the whole experience better!

Amazing experience all around the food is just amazing. Been all over Mexico and its as good as any of the restaurants you'll find. Very authentic and not just Mexican food but Guatemalan as well! Will recommend and come back at least once a week. 😋
