Pretty authentic Mexican. I had the milanesa torta and my husband had the burrito alpastor. They make their own horchata. Food was good, we were almost halfway done before I snapped pictures. Finding Mexican food that tastes like something a Mexican mother would make is difficult in Florida, really happy to have found this place. Great price and great food. Very kind waitress.

Outstanding. Wonderful food - steak enchiladas this time. EVERYTHING is good: all ingredients of main course are fresh and delicious, plus superior beans and exceptionally good rice; and tomato, avocado, verde sauce, and white (cheese?) drizzle on top Very nicely plated on good china, and good quality stainless steel ware.

End of this day I wanted to eat Mexican. So I Google authentic Mexican this restaurant came up. I wasn't sure when I started reading the menu since it was mostly in Spanish with footnote of English. Not sure if this was the right choice with the elderly people I brought with me. However, I have to tell you this was a great meal for all three of us. I brought the dessert home and it was fabulous. Price, quality presentation and service. This meal experience had everything for all three of us.

I'm despondent about some of the negative reviews on here. Writing a bad review because the food isn't like somewhere else you ate (taco bell) is ignorant. And writing a bad review because you came in 10 minutes before closing and we're treated rudely is also, ignorant. The food sure was different than anywhere else I've eaten, and it was AMAZING. Bold ideas and new-old flavor combinations were very intuitive. I look forward to the opportunity to return to sample more of the menu The service was good... Not blazing, but assuredly adequate. If you stop here, go outside your comfort zone and try something original on the menu. I was most pleased.

It was a nice and clean place, despite the 4-star reviews. The food was great—I highly recommend the guacamole and gorditas. The only issue was that I ordered two items they later told me were unavailable. Overall, it's a great place to eat; just make sure to check if they have what you want in stock.
