Not a Mexican food fan at all. Despite that this place was wonderful. Fast polite service, GIGANTIC portions at super reasonable prices and the manager added the fan duel channel to their TV service just so we could watch the Hurricanes … More

I usually don't necessarily like Mexican food, but this place absolutely floored me. The quality of the ingredients was superb, and healthy, even the tortilla chips were nice and oily. The shrimp was doused in the perfect dressing, and best of all, prices were still reasonable at around $15 per dish. Would absolutely come back! More

Great little Mexican restaurant located near campus. The staff was very friendly from the time we walked in until the time we left. The food was really good as well. Each portion was enough to fill everyone's belly and the bill didn't break the bank. I highly recommend to stop in here for lunch if you're in the area. More
