Since the day it opened. Until this day is my to go spot. Mecheladas are good when well prepared. I don't like ice on them. Give it try. Some of their dishes are also delicious. If you're Mexican you know what I mean.

Good food at affordable prices, and excellent service. Restaurant is not up scale, bit of what you would refer to as one of those "hole in the wall" establishments... not in a negative way at all. It's a cozy little restaurant with very good food. Go by during lunch and get the one of the lunch specials and now your eating good food for less than fast food prices, combine that with a quiet and relaxing atmosphere with good service.... what are you waiting for, go by today for lunch and thank me later.

I really like that when we ordered a orange juice, it was freshly made by squeezing oranges and it came with pulp. Also like that when we ordered quesadillas, the freshly go and shred the cheese for that order. The food was good and the waitress was attentive.
