Valley favorite! Salsa and chips are amazing! Camarones cucaracha, coctel, carne azada, camarones a la diabla, miches! I’ve tried it all and it is very flavorful, it may take a bit to be served, but just ask for more chips and salsa! Service is good, but when they’re busy you must go to the counter and ring the bell if you need anything. They are very polite and will apologize for any delays.

So this place has been my kids favorite Mexican joint, let me tell you my kids are extremely picky they come here and they just devour the food. The one and only girl that is a waitress here is super friendly. Give it a try you wont regret it.

Yes they're slow but good stuff usually takes time. It's not a fast food restaurant. Love their Birria and habanero salsa.
