Excellent, quality, average price, authentic mexican cuisine, served by authentic mexicans. A medium sized family style restaurant. Sit and be served style dine-in, with mexican ambience. The people are friendly, the staff, is mixed with all races, to accommocate all customers. I eat here about once each month, and i like very much. so i reccommend this restaurant with three stars. Three because of its size, and it's regional location.
Favorite Dish: Carne Asada ! The dish comes with three carne asada fajitas, or just a carne asada steak. The difference in carne Asada, and other steaks, is the seasoning and the cut. I reccommend this from experience, and find it to be deliciously well balanced dish. It comes with guacamole salad, refried beans, and fajita salsa. A blend of tomatoes lettuce onion and mild pepper, all diced to a chunky texture. Of course there is the traditional red salsa, (salsa tomate), and the nacho chips, for an appetizer. I reccommend the Sweet tea (Te Dulce)! It is very well made.
