If you really enjoy Mexican food then this is the restaurant for you. The food is excellent and the portions are large. My favorite is the Carnitas. The rice and beans are flavorful and mole is great. Service is friendly and fast. There is a parking lot for conveinence. Get there before 4:30 or after 7:00 or you will wait. It is very popular and for good reason. Dress is casual.
The Best Authenitc Mexican Food and resonable prices. I miss this place.
