Its small with limited tables. Its definitely not the place to go if you're in a hurry. They're a little disorganized. $10 credit minimum. I was a little disappointed that I wasn't told that they didn't have tamales (which I ordered) until they delivered the rest of the food to the table, rather than letting me know as soon as they figured it out. This place has a really special spot in my mom's heart and she loves dragging me back.
We found this nice, authentic, restaurant by searching google maps for places to eat in the area. The pictures of the food looked good so we decided to give it a try. My wife, kids and I all left extremely satisfied! I has a plate that had fried green bananas, cabbage, beef fingers, salsa and an amazing sauce. It was so good!!!
I moved here from Southern California a few months ago and have been craving real authentic Mexican food. Bonus points that this place serves Mexican, Honduran, and Salvadorian food! It was delicious! The 6 of us that went all ordered different plates and then tried each others orders so we got a taste a portion of the menu. We will definitely be back for more!
This place is a gem! A lot of people are complaining of the service, but I found the service fantastic. A family owned place, who treats their customers like family. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. We had a 5 adult, 1 child party. The place is small, and they definitely helped to fit us in. The food prices and quality is fantastic. I got the chicken soup, which did not disappoint. The other foods everyone else got were also delicious and abundant. They were kind and super patient with the little toddler we had running around. I would definitely go back here for the food and service. It felt like I was at someone's mom's house! Very cozy and inviting. Don't miss out!
