Unlike a lot of places the lengua here is trimmed and prepared perfectly. Some of the best I've had in years, the price is a little on the higher side for Mexican food but it was worth it! Also coming with chips and rice makes it a decent sized meal too! Would definitely come again.

Wanted to try a new Mexican place and saw this one and decided to take a chance and boy was it worth it. My wife got the tacos de Cameron “shrimp tacos” and I forget what it was called but I got a meal with 2 rolled fried tortillas with potato and 2 with chicken and a side of refried beans and rice. It was delicious and we will be coming back. And the house margarita was great too.

First time visit. We will be definitely be back! The carnitas house special was delicious and a very generous portion, and homemade corn tortillias! My partner had a massive and yummy carne aside burrito. Service was friendly and fast. We were in and out in 30 minutes. Great menu options. We just moved to the area and were afraid we would be subjected to watered down Mexican cuisine and pleased to find this was tasty and authentic.

Absolutely delicious food. I’ve been twice now with two different people and each time we’ve all really enjoyed our meals. A bonus is the excellent service and very fair pricing. Will definitely be telling others about this and supporting as often as we can.

My gf and I tried this place after someone posted it on Facebook, and it did not disappoint! The food was amazing! The salsa was so fresh, and the main course was so tasty. Everything was fresh and hot. 10/10 would recommend
