    We had the "Machete", a massive extra large homemade corn tortillas with cheese, fixings and choice of meat. I recommend the carnitas, it was amazing! I split it with my mom, and was more than enough for the two of us. For dessert, the tres leches. It was moist and tasty. I suggest leaving off the whip cream and chocolate sauce. If you need it, put it on the side, as they lessened the quality of the desert, in my humble opinion of both the flan and tres leches... My new go to spot for authentic Mexican food, as the chips were fresh and the salsa has the perfect amount of spicy. I can't wait to come back and try something new.

    My first experience here was fantastic. We tried the tacos dorados, huaraches, tacos cachetes and flan. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. You must try the sauce in the red bottle, it's the perfect compliment to the food. The flan was nice and creamy, not grainy like I've had in other places. We'll definitely come again.

    Amazing food! Our server Mike was hilarious and super kind. We also got our food in a very quick time. Mike also gave us a surprise flan! it was also delicious. We loved it, and it will definitely be a restaurant we will regular from now on.

    I've eaten here before and every single time it's been great! The staff are so nice and cheerful and the atmosphere is really fun and welcoming! But I got takeout tonight. I got an order of quesabirrias and holy moly. It changed my life im not even kidding. This is the best food ive ever had. Probably the best food I will ever had. I've had the quesabirrias before and they've always been more than delicious. I honestly didn't think there was a physically possible way to make them any better, but tonight... there were tears in my eyes. The most delicious thing ive ever tasted or dreamed of tasting or could even imagine tasting. Your cook(s)should be the president of the united states. I love you whoever you are who cooked my delicious amazing incomparable meal. I hope you get everything you want in life. Thank you. For review readers, you HAVE GOT to eat here.

    I drove by this place for years, finally went in and boy was I surprised. I was very cool, huge, two full service bars, great atmosphere, a Mexican grocery store, Awesome service & the food was off the chart! Highly recommend this hidden gem!

    WOW!!! WOW!!! This place blew me away! This is a MUST TRY whether you’re a local or a tourist. My experience was so good that I took pictures of the establishment and not just the food. First of all the atmosphere is lovely and everything is BIG. Like the seats and the cups. Our waiter, Joel was absolutely phenomenal. He answered any question we might have. Which was a lot, because the menu was so authentic. And yes, they even have cheeseburgers for the littles. The carne asada was the most tender steak I’ve ever had. Even more tender than filet mignon. The cheese dip was not the best I’ve ever had but it was still good. There is a small store inside where you can buy Mexican goods, we enjoyed looking around. And in the back they even sell their own meat! The menu is pictured below. If I could give this restaurant six stars I would but since I can’t, this raving review will have to do. GO THERE!

    Wow, just WOW. This was the perfect choice for my Mom and Dad's anniversary. Mike was our server, and as all the other reviews have said, he was awesome...very attentive, funny and charming! My Dad and I had the Quesa Birria and my Mom had Cheese Enchiladas. Both were fantastic!! The salsa was homemade and tasty, the guacamole was chunky and divine, the rice actually had flavor, even the sour cream tasted better than normal! lol And you can tell the tortillas they use in their dishes are homemade. The portions are INSANE. My Dad was impressed by how clean everything was. We will never go anywhere else to eat Mexican food. We absolutely loved the menu selections, because what they offer is more authentic and what other Mexican restaurants in JC serve Mole, Ceviche or Octopus?! NONE. I can't wait to go back and try their Carnitas!
