Food was amazing it's not really in a restaurant. It's a grocery store, but if you're looking for an authentic experience, this is it!

Absolutely Amazing food and atmosphere!!! My Mother and I had decided to go here after repeated reference of good authentic Mexican Food. The place makes you feel like you are in Mexico with good music and decorations. The owner was very nice, welcoming and proud of his business. As well he should be!! The food was hot and out quickly. Taste was amazing and authentic. With home made tortillas made right in there kitchen. Only disappointment was that I waited so long to try this place. Puts Larumbas to shame!!!

A lot like actually being in Mexico! This is a Tiendra and restaurant. In addition to a good little restaurant, you can get fresh meat at the butcher, hats and boots, Dry Goods and send money overseas
