Super clean restaurant, great vibe (very relaxed but well decorated), everyone was genuinely kind and the food was fantastic. LOOOOOVED the salsa... not too spicy AT all just nice and flavorful. Very traditional. I had the chicken enchiladas verdes and it is spot on. I definitely recommend if you like Mexican just straight up yummy traditional Mexican food

We got takeout from here last night. My mom ordered the…read morefajita steak enchiladas, & I ordered the ground beef enchiladas. The driver called to tell us that they were out of ground beef. So I said, fine, I'll take the steak, too. Y'all - it was the worst meat I've ever put in my mouth! I got maybe half a bite that I could actually chew up all the way, & didn't have to spit it back out. They were probably out of ground beef because the beef broke the grinder!

My normal Mexican spot is closed on Tuesday, so I thought I'd try something different. Decent, if…read moreslightly inattentive service, nice enough little place but the food was very bland. The $16 portion on the carne a la Mexicana was smaller than average and it was very bland with some of the worst quality beef I've had in a while. I asked for it spicy at the time of the order, and was provided a small bit of spicy salsa. I guess I should have been more specific and asked for peppers in the dish. The watery salsa had no spice and very little flavor. Beans were good, rice was okay. For the price, I expected more. Definitely not a compelling dinner. Review amended due to snarky reply from the business. I didn't expect a "copy and paste of my favorite place", but I would have loved to have enjoyed a good meal. Unfortunately, that wasn't on the menu at this establishment. There are at least half of a dozen better Mexican restaurants in Sherman that will serve you a significantly better plate of food, with decidedly better quality beef for similar(or less) cost.
