We came for lunch with a group of 10 and they had no problem seating us and took good care of us. The food came out quickly, tasted great, and was artistically placed on each plate.

I’ve been living around the corner from this place for almost 3 years and I’m ashamed I haven’t tried it sooner. Amazing food and amazing service. The man on the phone was super patient and helpful. The salad, gauc, queso, all amazing. We both got enchiladas w/ rice and beans, glad we did.

Stopped for lunch with my family of 6, kids ages 9-14. The place is clean and nicely decorated. Everyone found something they liked on the menu, the service was good and the food was delicious. I felt like we got plenty to eat for our money, and left with a little doggy bag for our dog

Jorge was our server and he was awesome. Food was great and fresh. We go here at least 4 times a month. My wife got the taco salad with chicken. I got con queso. Just enough food to make you full. They have tv's all over so you can watch the games while eating. You will not be disappointed coming here.

Excellent food and impeccable service. The food is authentic, fresh, and full of flavor; you can truly taste the care in every dish. The service is outstanding: attentive and professional. It's also a place where a woman can dine alone and feel comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommend.

Had a great meal here tonight! I had the shrimp Con Queso and it was very flavorful. It was Mojito Monday so I tried their mojitos and they had a generous amount of mint and was served in a cool glass. Their esquites could use a bit more Tajin seasoning but were otherwise ok. So far their food is on par with the other better Mexican restaurants in town. I was hoping for something a little different but I’d still rank this toward the top of what’s available in Monroe!

The atmosphere and decor were great. Our server was extremely attentive and gracious. Food came out extraordinarily quick. Everything was delicious and fresh. The guacamole dip and queso were fantastic.
