The ladies in the back made my order fresh. Also had two soft drinks, all was under $20. Tacos were small but completely filled and double tortillas. Perfect flavors! Definately recommend!"

The food was amazing. My only complaint was the horchata was too thick but still very tasty. We lost track of time about 2 hrs in. It was a great environment!"

Mar 19, 2026"My husband and I came here a couple of weeks ago while on a road trip from Washington state, we stopped for dinner and it was delicious and such an inviting atmosphere. The family who owns this restaurant are so welcoming and kind. I ended up leaving my purse on the chair by accident, and then only noticed after 3 hours of driving. I messaged the restaurant through facebook right then, even though they had already closed. They responded promptly the next morning and sent my purse to me in the mail! They were life savers and I highly recommend them for not only their kindness, but also delicious food!"
