Such a fun little spot to get lunch. The tacos were amazing! We learned which meats go with hard shell tacos versus soft shell. So fun! The chips are homemade and they were great! Salsa is pretty spicy but that’s alright. Service was great, they were chatty and fun. Will be back!
Love this place. The best salsa and chips ever!! Ashitas fajitas with shrimp are very awesome. Service is wonderful. Everyone is so nice. While there la cucaracha came on over the speakers. Lol. Great place. Recommend it highly!
This authentic lovely Mexican restaurant is in the heart of Summit Hill, St Paul. It's close to my work and I'm truly lucky to have it close by. The owner and staff are wonderful! The food is delicious! They even have a lunch buffet. I swoon over homemade tortilla chips.... and if you stop by, you'll likely see me at a table with a bowl of chips and salsa! Quaint bar for an after work margarita, too! I highly recommend!
The shrimp soup and the house soup were both phenomenal. The flautas were also so crispy and flavorful. Loved the atmosphere! The employees and owners were all so kind and welcoming! So happy to have a spot that reminds me of home 🥰
👍 7.8/10 (The chips get a 12/10) These chips and salsa are AMAZING. The chips are so crispy and perfect. I'd love a little more 🧂, but that's just me. So good. Overall, I feel like it was kind of spendy, and maybe the value wasn't totally there, but it was tasty and really scratched my Mexican food itch. I'm excited for September when they're starting a lunch buffet, including on the weekends!
