Smoked marlin taco is excellent. Flavor is like fried smoked mortadella, great with all the accoutrements

What we love is the feeling that you are actually in Mexico; the food, the ambience, and the people. Love the pork tamale in banana leaf, chilaquiles in green sauce, machaca, the goat, and posole.

Have the coffee, brewed with cinnamon for an awesome flavor. The chorizo and eggs is awesome. Love the chilaquiles with green sauce.

Food is great and the coffee is the best but it can be understaffed and when busy the patrons are neglected.

Great food, great music and great atmosphere. I often eat here with my family and we love it. Some of the best in town!

This place is great! Authentic Mexican. Plenty of options, fresh & flavorful. It's such a quaint little place, tucked away & meant for locals to enjoy.

Great Mexican food. Place is kinda hidden. Don't know when they have music but I was blown away. Definitely part of the ambiance. Cannot go wrong with carne asada.

Food it’s to die for but the service needs to improve. Our waitress never came to give us refills on our drinks until we got our food . Or didn’t even take any empty plates ...
