Everyone loved their meals! They were busy so it took a little longer than normal to receive our food but it was very good when it got there! I ordered 3 empanadas (Philly cheese, seasoned beef, & cheesy bacon potato) all 3 were excellent! My favorite was the philly cheese and cheesy bacon potato. Other people ordered tacos, quesadilla, and nachos with meat & cheese. We will definitely return here soon!

I went here initially because I knew it was opened by local business owners and wanted to show support. The food is ordered at the counter cafeteria style and then brought to your table - or there is a drive-thru option. The best description I can think of for the food is that it is similar to a good food truck. Everything is served as individual orders so you basically make your own meal and it is served in baskets. The sauces are very spicy and the food is authentic Mexican.

The dining area isn't anything special, but it is a comfortable space. Lots of room. The menu has a good balance between authentic and Tex-Mex. I ordered their Suiza burrito with lengua. The lengua was perfectly cooked and had that hearty beefy flavor that is pot roast like. The burrito was massive and chalked full with lots of goodies. The chips and chunky pico/salsa were awesome. The pico/salsa is fresh and packs some heat from the fresh chilies. Service was fine, nothing special. It isn't my favorite Mexican restaurant in the QC, but it is pretty darn good.
