The food is delicious and the price was reasonable. I had the Molcajetes plate (shrimp, chicken & carne asada). Paid approximately $24 for my plate. The green salsa from the bar is perfect not too spicy. Doris our waitress was very friendly and attentive.

This place used to be a lot better but under new management over the recent years I haven’t been as much. I only get the molcajete from time to time and never dine in anymore and usually do take out. The seating isn’t the best and if you sit at a booth it can be very tight.

This place never disappoints. Delicious food for a good great price. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it. Update! Try the hard shell Shredded beef tacos!!! I ordered 2 and they are huge! I wanted another because they're so good but 2 is enough believe me.

Been here for breakfast and dinner. For breakfast I tried their chilaquiles with asada and menudo for take out. Their chilaquiles red sauce needed more kick but the asada steak was tender and was really well seasoned. The menudo was for my son but I tried it and was tasty. For dinner I had the fajitas and a shrimp cocktail and lets not forget a cold beer. Overall, food was good and very fresh and both times I’ve had great quick service. Coming back for sure to try more dishes.

Good food and generous portions at a good price. Service could be a little better. It took a long time for my order. They have updated their menu.
