RUDE RUDE RUDE. Nasty food, Don't waste your money.
We went in the lady is super strange, she told us to sit anywhere so when I started walking to a booth she walked faster to get in front of us just to slow way way down to snail speed. They seated us at a table in the back that you can tell the workers had been sitting at. There were still cups on the table, the remote for the tv was on the table. She took the cups, left the remote and didn't wipe down the table. I asked for a rag to do it myself and asked if I could turn the tv down. She brought me a rag to literally have me wipe it down and said yes I could turn the tv down but still left the remote.
Moving forward we were sitting across from a table of 7 family member (who were white) were infants(like 5 months so didn't order of course) they had ordered before we even got there, then we sat down, and then a Mexican family came in. The family that came in after us not only had their order taken before we did but also got their food before the family next to us did. They finally started bringing out the tables food that was next to us, but 1 plate at a time and then the next one came out 5 mins later and then 5 mins later (we timed it literally after the second time) leaving the kid who was maybe 4 his food came last.
Then we finally get our order taken, I asked a few questions and the lady taking the order literally knew nothing about the menu. She offered refills on our chips and salsa multiple times and we said yes because it was taking forever.
Finally we got our food, I took one bite and it was awful. I sent it back and said I didn't want anything else. My boyfriend finished his and then we got the check. The check was charging $5 for my food that was sent back and $3 for the 2 extra chips. When we went to the front we asked the guy if he was the manager, he said she (as in our waitress) would help us. I said "oh she is the manager" he said no I am, and I told him I would like to speak with him then before she finishes. I asked why I was being charged $5 for mine and he said because I had eaten some. I told him I had taken one bit which is how I knew it was nasty, he said that was more than a bite. I told him it wasn't to he interrupted me and was like "fine I'm not going to argue over $5" and I went to ask about why we were being charged for more chips but I didn't get it out because he shut me down with "fine your total is xyz). My boyfriend cuts in an says excuse me why did you shut her down like that she wasn't finished talking and was going to ask another question. He said "fine what?" I asked "why are we being charged for chips?" He said "extra chips $1.50 it's in the menu." I said "well we didn't have a menus when offered more chips nor did she mention it when offering." He said "fine your total is". He started slamming his fingers on the calculation very hard and aggressive then said "your total is xyz". I gave my card and he said you're good to go. I asked for me receipt and said I would like to sign the one you are keeping." He tossed the pen at me on the counter. I sign his company and wanted to sign mine before I left. I handed him his copy and we went to pull the pen out of my hand. I said "oh hold on a moment I would like to fill out and sign my copy as well while on camera so it's proven the final cost." He said fine and just walked away.
I will absolutely never go back here. With that kind of service and the high prices. For just my boyfriend to eat a not good meal (men eat anything) and just one soda was $26. NEVER AGAIN!

This is a happy, small, family owned nugget that it tucked away next to my favorite nail salon.

I was truly brought in by the delicious aroma of authentic Mexican food. I legit got into my car & decided the aroma was too powerful, I must check it out. Being hungry also fueled that decision.

I ordered the carne asada cheese crisp and two crispy/fried chicken tacos.

I wasn't certain what to expect with the carne asada cheese crisp but found it to be a very large tortilla with melted cheese & sprinkled with carne asada. Not my favorite BUT the carne asada was stupid delicious. Oh my brain and stomach were so so so so happy. Yum! Literally could have just eaten the carne asada by itself & been happy. It was tender & flavorful.

Chicken tacos. I didn't love getting lettuce on it when I said no lettuce but it was an easy enough fix. The tortilla was amazing. The chicken was bursting with flavor and depth. The chicken was still moist and didn't need salsa but I added some anyways just to try it out. I was not disappointed.

This place is legit. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food. Also recommended for anyone wanting to support a small business which is family owned.

Prices were reasonable. The owner was fabulous. It reminded me of home definitely coming back here.

This is probably one of the best locally owned Mexican restaurants on the west side. As others have said, the salsa is amazing and the chips are always hot and fresh.

I get the beef taco and chicken enchilada combo and both proteins are seasoned very well. Rice is good. Veggies are good. I don't do beans so... no comment on that.

Very friendly people. Nice prices.
