Love this spot. Classic feeling Mexican. Open kitchen. A few tables. Quality food. All the classics. Very fair prices. Highly recommend for a quick classic taco night.

I got SO sick from ground beef enchiladas. I would never trust this place again. I'm calling county health department. I have leftovers I will share with them. Eat there at your own risk.
