    Good food and flavor. Typical Mexican atmosphere and decor with good service. Many vehicles arrived but at the time I visited the restaurant the cars belonged to employees and they were all in the main parking line. Another observation was that since there were not many diners to serve, the employees were making jokes and laughing uncontrollably

    GREAT authentic Mexican food was absolutely amazing. Upon being seated my sister and I struggled to understand our waitress, but she immediately went to get someone who was more bilingual than she and immediately our order was taken and food served hot and expeditiously. This was our first time eating here and we will definitely eat here again. We are so appreciative of the patience that BOTH waitresses had with us in understanding some items on their menu and making substitutions in our meals. The food was so good, the restaurant was clean and there was a variety of Mexican food selections. Eat here at least once YOU MUST!

    They have the best food and atmosphere in Charlotte in my opinion. I always get greeted with a smile. The waiters recognize guest who visits often so they get familiar with your orders, which makes it easy for me to get my food promptly. The price is very reasonable. I would recommend trying the burrito fajita with extra yellow rice.
