My all time favorite Authentic Mexican food place. I have been eating here for over 25 years, when I lived on the east coast and came home for holidays I would come straight from the airport after landing. The best al pastor, the best tacos la lengua, the best gorditas de tripas, and that green salsa. This place has come far since it used to have three tables and no one spoke English 25 years ago. I couldn't recommend this place enough, though its real Mexican food. If you like tex-mex flour tortillas with American cheese and tomatoes on your tacos, this might not be your place. The Margaritas are good and made by hand, the tequila selection is good. Heck you can even pay in the back now. I might have to drive down there now and get some food, wish I could give them 10 stars.

Food was authentic! Great taste, variety and fresh. It's a real taco place so don't be going if you want fancy. It's clean and has great service plus it has a Mexican market inside

This place is on par or better with everything ive had. The service is great but can be a bit loud if they've got a band playing which I've only experienced a few times. The chicharron or chilli relleno usually my go to the menudo is great as well.

This place is not much on ambiance since it's at the back of a grocery store. However the food is very good and the tostada de ceviche is probably the best I've ever had. We will be back.

Authentic Mexican restaurant with a deep menu of delicious choices! The service was attentive and the Margaritas were delicious and not too sweet. We enjoyed the Camerones cocatel as an appetizer. Molcajete was spicy and delicious--and huge! Mojarra was crispy and fresh. It was a Monday so there weren't many people in the place, but there was a constant flow of a few tables. Everything was clean and I would return for a real local experience. The grocery store attached is also pretty cool with lots of spices and a meat counter.
