Wasn't my favorite Mexican food by far. It will do in a pinch though. Service is slow but they are nice people.

The atmosphere of the place is great for lunch. High ceilings and neat decorations.

They brought me out a refill for my strawberry lemonade which was cool because it was friggin expensive!

My taco and enchilada were uninspired and the rice was awful. Big plate of food though.

Stay away from the mole. Don't even think about it. It tastes like Peanut butter if you can imagine such a horrible experience.

The problem is I can't think of a better Mexican place in the area. It's a great business opportunity for someone who can cook. Assuming people flock to good food...which is a big assumption.

$7.75 lunch specials include rice and beans. My avocado tostada was comprised of great tasting, fresh ingredients, and was completely devoid of onions just like I asked.

The waitstaff was very helpful and cared about our food choices. A good choice for lunch.
