I ordered the Chile Verde. I can only tell you. It was huge servings. I couldn’t eat it all. The green sauce was smooth. The pork cooked to perfection in the green sauce. I wished I could’ve asked it to be a little more spicier. Still Soo good! Served with rice and the Beans! We’re Soo Good! Comes with 3 huge homemade tortillas! I ordered the fruity Hibiscus drink. I left with a food coma. lol That good! Others in the restaurant were giving the cooks a Someone had a seafood dish. A Thumbs up! Pricey but big, oversized, portions, over flowing plates. The meals. Coming back to try their Tacos. Next time around.—

Friendly service, great authentic Mexican food. Ordered #27 which was the 3 fish tacos, rice and pinto beans plus #33 sombrero shrimp salad, bottled Coca Cola on the side and made for an excellent dinner. Found this place once before on the way south from IKEA. Highly recommended.

The food was good. We got a chimichanga and some tacos. The chimichanga was fried to perfection, and it was topped with avocado, which I wasn't expecting. Some of the meat in the chimichanga was a little bit dry, but it still tasted good, because it tasted like a burnt bacon crumble type of thing. We got large horchata, which was a bit pricey at 4.75. The tacos were also great. Standard food tacos.

Ordered Camarones a la Diabla and thoroughly enjoyed it. The tortillas were thick for me but appreciated given how spicy the sauce can be.

We have been eating here and getting takeout for about 25 years. The food is always good and reasonably priced. It makes other places look bad. Love it. You can't beat the #27 taco platter with your choice of meat. Pro Tip: Park as close to the restaurant as you can. I got towed after the 7-11 manger called the tow company because I parked on the unmarked, imaginary "7-11 side" of the lot. $500 to get my car back.

Hole in the wall kinda place. The staffs that worked there were incredibly nice and kind. The tacos were filled with so much protein Would 100% recommend and come back for another meal.
