Best Mexican food in the entire state, amazing cheese enchiladas and a very awesome, dimly lit atmosphere, very authentic place, not tacky like on the border restuarant

"Tons and tons of meat. The steak fajitas smelled amazing. Pulled pork nachos are the best. Chicken quesadillas are ok. Tons of fresh lime juice in the margaritas!"
