I enjoyed the wonderful services and delicious tacos. I recommend trying the Pastor and I would drive across town for a few more of the Barbacoa tacos!

Great tacos. Awesome quesadillas. The best flan we have ever had. Make sure you ask which sauce is hot. Its HOT. Even our waitress says she only uses a few drops. Will be back to try a wet burrito and of course, more flan.

The atmosphere and food were amazing! The entire staff was amazing! I love that they have place to “pay it forward “ with meal tickets to someone that may be unable to pay! Highly recommend this place and supporting their business! The owner was absolute angel thank you again!

Stopped here on a whim, and I am glad I did. The Guac and Chips were ok, I would probably skip that next time. I had the Chimichanga and it was excellent. The Fajitas were of the Steak variety and that too was excellent. The highlight for me was the Tres Leches Cake. That was one of the best Tres Leches I have had since Key West. The Waitress was great, checked up on us without being overbearing. I will have to go back and try other dishes.

This is more of a taco shop than a restaurant but it was very good and authentic Mexican food. My wife had the chicken bowl and I had the carne asada plate. Both were great tasting and our server Blanca was exceptionally friendly and attentive. I was surprised that chips and salsa don't come free, it cost 4.50 for chips and cheese sauce and they didn't have a fresh salsa. I prefer my carne asada to be chopped like the taco meat that is usually served here in tacos not skirt steak, but I'm used to Mexican food in California and that's how they all do it there. Again it was great, and I'll be back to try something new, can't wait for taco Tuesday. Great job!

Visited some friends in the area and went here for dinner. It was highly recommended and I can see why. The food was delicious and atmosphere was great. Had the steak fajitas and they tasted amazing. Definitely will try going back next time I'm in the St. Pete area.

Unfortunately I didn't have a lot of time so I just placed an online order and picked it up. The blackened grouper taco and fried shrimp taco were both so delicious !!! I cannot wait to go back and sit in the restaurant and enjoy more food! The menu looks amazing. Friendly staff, clean restaurant. I will definitely go back!! OH!!!! I almost forgot about the hot sauce that was in my order! Yum!

Hidden in an unremarkable strip mall is a little hidden gem of a Mexican restaurant. Ordered their special, which was Pozole with shrimp as well as two tacos: carne asada and Al pastor. The pozole was full of flavor, and was really enjoyable. Tacos were also great- tortillas were well above expectations and the filling was a proportional amount. They also have a cool thing where you can pay for a meal for somebody - and if you come in, and don’t have money, you grab a ticket and the kitchen prepares one for you. This is the type of family run business that is easy to support.
