"I’m visiting from Arizona and have been here for about four months now. After much deliberation, I finally decided to try some Mexican food, unsure if I would find anything worthwhile. While driving by, I spontaneously decided to stop and grab a bite. Upon entering, I noticed there was only one other customer at around 5 PM, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. I was seated quickly and asked what I would like to drink—I went for the horchata. A few minutes later, the waiter returned not with a standard drink but with a mini pitcher, which was a pleasant surprise! Soon after, I was served some chips and salsa that were absolutely perfect while I waited for my meal. I ordered the Churrasco based on the waiter’s recommendation, along with tacos de al pastor and lengua. After around 6-10 minutes, the food arrived. The portion of the Churrasco was just what I expected (a decent serving), but I was pleasantly surprised by the generous size of the tacos—definitely not skimping on portions here! About half an hour into my meal, the place had filled up completely. I managed to finish nearly everything, and even though I was very full, I still wanted to keep snacking on the chips and salsa. I highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the mood for authentic Mexican cuisine. The food speaks for itself, as does the crowd it attracts. In summary: The food is delicious, the portions are generous, the vibe is casual, and the prices are very reasonable."
