Other customers share in conversations and tell what their favorite dishes are. There's a spontaneity among the customers that makes this small place relaxing and engaging. At lunch there's usually a number of Mexican workmen and they're all friendly and will explain about a menu item and whether it's Hot or not (if the owner is busy). This is TRUE,AUTHENTIC MEXICAN cuisine with no frills! Totally recommend stopping by. It's a very casual dress/work clothes are ok place! Give it a try.

Alma took such great care of us, making us feel like regulars from the moment we walked in. We ordered the shredded chicken chimichanga and the enchiladas verdes, and both were packed with flavor, fresh, and clearly made with love. And can we talk about the chips? They should come with a warning label: "Highly addictive. You will keep saying 'just one more' until the basket mysteriously disappears." If you're passing through, do yourself a favor--skip the chains and stop here instead. Sometimes the smallest places leave the biggest memories, and this one absolutely did.

Nice save. Parking when they're busy is a bit much but we found a spot around the corner from the door and walked to the entrance. You walk through their outside dining area which is all covered but because it had just rained it was a bit muggy for us so we opted to sit inside. The place has multiple floors and I really like that set up. We were sat upstairs on the second floor right by the top of the stairs. Looking around you can see another floor with a reserved area, tvs showing sports, and their salsa bar, more on that later. No chips and salsa here. Chips and Charro Bean Dip. The beans tasted refried and charred if that makes sense. I lost at rock, paper, scissors so I had to go visit the salsa bar and bring back dips to try. They had some pretty good ones like their homemade chipotle dressing, salsa verde, salsa de molcajete, etc. There wasn't one that we didn't like. Our server was really great and took care of us well. I got a Tamarindo Margarita and to eat the Enchiladas Poblanas (chicken enchiladas with mole sauce, queso fresco, raw onions) with the normal side of refried beans and rice, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and guac. I got a side of extra cheese because I'm a little rat and dumped it on them. The mole sauce really hit the spot. The last time I had it the sauce was kinda bland but this gave such a nice sweet and earthy flavor. He got the Molcajete Azteca (lava rock bowl with char-grilled chicken, steak, chorizo, shrimp, queso fresco, grilled cactus, onions, avocados, serrano peppers, pork rinds), same sides as my dish. He ''Oooh-ed" and "Ahhh-ed" and "Oh my God, this is so good" so you know he was a happy guy. I can see what all the hype is about. Definitely a place to visit.

Really, for this kind of Mexican food in Gainesville, this is one of the best places to go as far as I am concerned. We will be returning in the future.
