Some of the best Mexican food I have had I will be back next time I am in the area

Favorite Mexican place. Our go to spot for excellent Mexican food. Menu is somewhat limited but that's okay because the choices they offer are all very good and authentic. My favorite is the pupusa. I always ask for extra cole slaw tangy, crunchy complement to the chewiness of the pupusa. And their carnitas is excellent! The tamales is a little on the dry side so could use some sauce. But has excellent flavor. We always order a bag of chips thick and crunchy, not these super thin chips. Make sure you order the green salsa too.

The Mexican food here is quite good, with larger portions than I anticipated. The seasoning is on point. I ordered a burrito that was so filling I couldn't finish it. However, I’m deducting a star because the horchata and agua fresca were disappointing; they tasted more like water and sugar than anything else.

I haven't visited this location since my onion mishap, but I hope my honest feedback encouraged them to improve their food preparation and service. That was one of the few times I've encountered an issue with onions.

The carne asada burrito was filled with so much fat and gristle that I had to spit it out after just two bites! It was nothing but cheap, fatty meat. I won’t be coming back!
