Oh my goodness. What a gem tucked away in San carlos! Sopas were the greatest thing we ordered. The guacamole was fresh and chunky! The burrito was huge! My tosadas were soggy by the time I got home but that didn't deter from how amazing they were. I can't wait to go back!

Well worth the experience! Although, its only a tiny lil place back in the cut and only a couple of tables inside the food is beyond amazing. The staff was very friendly and made me feel comfortable being there. You can choose to dine in or takeout. They have a variety of authentic mexican food ranging from tacos, tortas, burritos, tostadas, tamales, specialty plates not to mention several different soups including homemade Menudo. They have a variety of mexican soft drinks such as bottled Jarritos, canned coconut water/juice, bottled Pepsi, Squirt, Coca-Cola and cans of regular soda too. Everything is made to order and always fresh. I highly recommend this place to anyone who truly enjoys authentic homemade mexican food. Very inexpensive
