Love the food here. This place serves chicharoones instead of chips and salsa. The salsas were amazing and hot. Got a fajitas the carne asda was mouth watering

Good service, good flavor, and good portions. The reason I gave 4 stars is because we ordered a plate of carnitas without Buche and they served our order half meat and half Buche evening was very quiet only 2 tables ...so no reason to not pay attention on what you want to order

Good Carnitas and friendly staff. I wish they would give bigger salsa containers. The red sauce was my favorite.
