A great, truly authentic Mexican lunch.
No complimentary chips and salsa, but don't let that keep you away. This is a small, clean and friendly staffed restaurant that has an authentic selection of Mexican dishes. I had the usual carne asada and my wife had the chicken enchiladas. I ordered an extra chili toreado, but it does come with one. The chilies were serranoes instead of jalapenos that are usually served at the Americanized Mexican restaurants. They were good. The beef was a little tougher than most I have had, but it was okay. The chicken enchiladas were good and packed with shredded chicken. The meals come with beans, rice and a little lettuce /salad. They provide a selection of two salsas for the food. Hand made fresh tortillas come with the meal. You can watch them being made. The tortillas and the friendly service really stood out. There are several dishes on their menu that seem to be big hits with the locals; the tacos and the sopes. Next trip, I will give them a try. If you eat here be sure to order a chili toreado to go with your meal. We were glad we gave this place a try.
