Very unassuming from the outside, but had such a great experience with my family here last night! The chicken burrito was HUGE and delicious. Mix and match tacos were also a favorite. Haven't tried the Italian menu items yet, but we will definitely go back. I would only suggest that they play some background music to lighten the atmosphere. Very clean inside and Hugo (owner) was friendly and attentive as our waiter. Give this family business a shot!

We have been twice now and the food is so good. Service is friendly and the restaurant is clean. Both times we have been, it has been slow but the server said they do a lot of take out business. Not serving alcohol may hurt them but if that is why you don't eat there, you are missing out! The pork tacos are delicious and the salsa is clearly fresh

Wow, I am very impressed with the food. My wife and I both got burritos, fries, chips and salsa. The salsa was some of the best I've ever had also! We got all veggie/vegan burritos that were just amazing. The veggies were cooked amazing and we were very pleased that they used black beans instead of refried beans. We will be back with our children soon!

The wait staff was very attentive, and I felt like a welcome guest. The menu is surprisingly extensive, with several good choices of Mexican and Italian cuisine. The food was good, but about average. Prices were reasonable. Overall, it's a nice addition to our local town, and I'm glad to have them here. We'll be back!

Delicious! This is an interesting menu of Mexican and Italian choices. Our group chose the baked spaghetti, chicken quesadilla and the pork tacos. Everything was flavorful and nicely prepared. The Verde sauce that came with the tacos had a nice kick to it. It's a small restaurant but comfortable. The service was great. Give this place a try, it won't disappoint.

Delicious authentic homemade Mexican and Italian food. haven't tried everything yet but what I had so far has been delicious and super filling. You can get mix and match tacos and try three of their four delicious tacos for $10. Owned and operated by a very friendly family. I highly recommend trying them out!
