The building itself is a festive bright Orange color. I was greeted warmly by the owner as I walked on. The dining room had about a dozen tables but I got our order to go. It had an open kitchen with a small bar section so you could eat right where they cook. It was decorated in traditional Mexican decor. Now for the food, I ordered the enchiladas , one with Verde sauce and the other with Molé. The food smelled wonderful as I opened the bag and it looked just as delicious. The tortillas were fresh and homemade and the flavor was on point. The verde sauce had a great flavor and had just enough kick to make me know there was some spice. It was covered in lettuce and cheese and specked with diced tomato. The chicken was moist and tasty. The Molé sauce was deep and rich and had excellent flavor. It came with beens and rice. The beans were light colored and not black beens and the rice was standard Mexican rice. Overall it was really good. I will be going back again. They accepted debit cards but also had an ATM in the corner. The only drawback is that they didn't have any menus to give me so I will have to search that up on the inter webs. A small inconvenience for a wonderful meal.

Small and cozy inside with nice homey decor hanging throughout. I went with my family. We were the only ones dining in through the entirety of our meal although a handful of customers did stop in to pick up their takeout orders. I would assume it's BYOB but we did not ask nor did we bring in any alcohol. So I would ask if you're dining in and are planning on bringing wine or beer. The servers were part of the restaurant owner's family and were both incredibly nice. They do not provide complementary chips & salsa, which is fine, but I am noting that as a PSA. The menu prices are more than reasonable and the daily special prices are great. I ordered horchata and we started with family nachos with chicken. The horchata was good but I would've enjoyed it more with cinnamon garnishing the top. The portion size of nachos we received was generous and they serve with enough toppings for all of the tortilla chips (which were great!). They brought out a salsa verde and salsa roja. Both were delicious, and the red was much spicier than the green which they informed us of prior to placing them down at our table. My parents ended up ordering chicken burritos and I chose steak/beef fajitas. Burritos were served with shredded lettuce and tomatoes. They were short but stuffed with chicken, rice, beans, pico, sour cream, and guac. My mom couldn't finish hers, so I was able to eat the last little bit. Very enjoyable, more so than my fajitas. If I'm being honest I was disappointed in the fajitas and wouldn't order them again. Instead of coming out sizzling on a hot skillet, they came out on a plate sitting in liquid. The vegetables and steak weren't grilled. Flavor was okay but reminded me of frozen, bagged veggies. The fajitas were served with 3 tortillas, cheese, and sliced avocado. Our experience had pros and cons. The bill ended up being around $65 which I thought was affordable for the amount of food we received. Nachos / burritos were good and I'd stick with them during my next visit. Servers were nice and respectful. Fajitas were below average and the horchata wasn't served with any cinnamon on top. Next time I'm back will probably be for takeout when I'm in the mood for a burrito.
