My family has been coming here for years. Love their Mexican food! Service is top notch and the place is classy. Food comes on large, heavy and hot platters! No reservations needed, first come, first served.

We went there yesterday and had lunch. It wasn't too busy and the food was great. I ordered a shrimp burrito and the way it was made was not what I was expecting. It came with the flour, tortilla and shrimp and then all the fix-ins were on the side. So basically I had to make my own burrito. I ended up only eating half of the tortilla and just ate the rest of it which probably saved me some calories. We ordered strawberry margaritas with salt and ended up getting plain margaritas with Saul. That was basically the only mistake but overall I would recommend this restaurant to eat

It has been over two decades since my last visit, but things were just as wonderful. Traditional Mexican food, but with vegetarian options clearly shown in a separate section and they offer while beans.. No lard. Delicious.

The food was flavorful and large portioned. The service was spot on. This place is filled with family history and Mexican themed nostalgia.

I did not eat here. I waited 15min to be seated, but once the menu was provided I noticed lard is in all of their food items "to preserve the authentic taste". As someone who doesn't eat pork I was a little disappointed to find this out after 15min. The staff was not rude, but there's also nothing to praise there. The atmosphere seems to mimic a Mexican vibe but its a little dusty. Wish I could have tried them out.
