"Great Mexican authentic food in an unassuming strip mall. Service was good. There are a lot of choices. Carne Asada Plate was tasty with flour tortillas and plenty of beef, avocado, rice and beans. Chicken enchiladas were good also. Chips and salsa came with the meal also. Service at the counter was efficient. Plenty of parking"

"Super burrito was very good. Also tried the super quesadilla. They do not give u enough pico de galo salsa and they charge 2.99 for Xtra salsa. The prices are on the high side. Also they do not have filtered drinking water. What restaurant does not offer filtered drinking water ? 5 stars for food, 2 stars for charging $3 for Xtra salsa and 1 star for no filtered drinking water"

"Fajitas, beef, flour tortillas. I chose no tomatoes for my ensalada. Everything is packed with flavor. It came with a free side of chips and your pick either salsa or guac"

"The portions are large, service is good, but it's the spices of the dish are the reason for 5 stars. Medium hot- perfect for me. There was an option for red or green sauce. Small seating area with a couple tables and stool seating at the wall."
