“ Food is absolutely delicious! Very welcoming dining area. Felt like I was home with the family. Good portions and seasoned to traditional perfeccion! ”
“ Authentic New Mexican food. Very tasty, and good portions. My husband got the combo plate, and I ordered the Navajo taco since it was on special. I will say, the Navajo taco more so reminded me of a taco salad, but it was still very delicious! ”
“ Great authentic Mexican food, loved the burrito platter and the sopapilla. ”
“ When i worked near downtown, this place was my go-to. Hadn't been there in 5 years. Had the carnitas plus a gordita. Food has not changed. It is still very good. Servers are not to attentive and not very much elbow room but nice little hole in the wall. I've missed you. ”
“ We decided to try a new place for lunch and this was close by. It's a small place with a little parking, but what a little treasure! Homemade chips and salsa at your table, the chips still warm in the basket. My BFF said the salsa was "a little zippy", which means hot in the real world. LOL He got the chicharrones burrito and I chose the 3 rolled cheese enchilada plate. (red on the side) I didn't use much of the red since it had great flavor, but had a punch after a moment. To be fair, my spicy tolerance has lowered, so if yours is average, go for it. The beans were delicious as well. The big surprise was the rice. Layers of seasoning flavor this and I liked it. I normally never like the rice, but this was the first good one I've had. I got the sense this is yummy "grandma-style" cooking. It's only open until 2:45pm, but we'll definitely be back! (I also love those Mexican cokes in the bottle. So much better.) ”
“ This place is great. Always cold AC, love the salsa and chips. Haven't had anything I didn't like here. ”
“ Food is always great they are fast, only downside is, it’s small so fills up fast and is only open till 2:30 ”
“ Pictured is the Wednesday special-Navajo Taco and the chicken enchiladas plate. The Navajo Taco was delicious and the chicken in the enchiladas plate was cooked perfectly. Yummy comfort food for a reasonable price. Parking is a bit difficult but this place is definitely worth a stop, especially after visiting the BioPark! ”
