The food is consistently delicious, and the service is always prompt and friendly. I appreciate the personal touch from the owners, with one cooking and the other serving, which enhances the overall experience. Despite the chilly atmosphere, my wife and I love dining here and look forward to our next visit for the fantastic flavors, especially the enchiladas and chili rellenos.

excellent, authentic Mexican food. the tortilla chips are fresh, made to order and the guacamole is outstanding. everything on the menu we tried has also en great. although there is seating in the restaurant, ambiance is not its strong point.

Owners wife does not know how to treat customers. I have been going there for 15+ years and will never go back after today. Horrible customer service. Great way to sabotage a great business that has been there for many years. I couldn't get a refill on water. I ordered 8oz guacamole for 2.95 and was charged 6.95. When I questioned the charge she became very confrontational. I said I would pay the fee but she continued to argue with me l the way out the door. I have never been treated this badly in a restaurant let alone one that I am a regular customer at for many years, and by the owner no less.
