"If you are looking for above average Mexican food, this is it. The traditional Carne Asada tacos are 7/10 and could be better with more seasoning. They were overflowing with beef, onions, and cilantro. Per my wife, the ground beef burrito dinner was 8/10. She doesn't do hot, it wasnt, so it will need Pico or hot sauce if you want any heat. There was nothing wrong with it, but it is not outstanding. We would order either of them again.The Pico was okay but came in a small plastic condiment cup. I'm a Pico aficionado, so this was the only disappointment. Watch out for the hot sauce they have in another little plastic cup on the taco plate, it is probably habinero or hatch pepper sauce because it was 10/10 on my hot scale and chili Serrano pepper level hot is a 7/10 on my scale. Very prompt service, clean, nice atmosphere. My wife said all of these similar Mexican food restaurants must order their furnishings from the same place. Nicely carved wood tables and dividers, traditional colors, and decorations make for a nice dinner out."

Food was fantastic, cooked perfectly and you got a generous amount for the price. Their chips and salsa hit the spot along with their sweet tea. Couldn't have asked for better.

Great local Mexican restaurant. I often find myself stopping here en route to Indianapolis whenever I have the spare time and am looking for some Mexican comfort food. Great food.

When my group and I arrived, we were the only customers in the restaurant. After we settled in, a few others came in and received their food before we even had our orders taken. The food was disappointing—everything tasted stale. The tea was also watered down. This was my second and final visit to this place!
Cynthia
Staff was very attentive. You got your choice of salsa or cheese dip with warm chips as you waited. We had the salsa, it was nothing special, tasted a bit mixed with just tomato sauce. Service was fast. The table we had was broke, when you put wait on it, it dropped on one end about 6 inches. . we showed the waitress, she just smiled. . there were many other tables we could have been moved to. We stayed there, ate our meal, and was careful not to lean on the table. . because we did once and our silverware fell off on the floor.. My food was good, I had a burrito; my husband really liked his chicken fajita. We probably won't be back, it was just not and over the top experience.
