Sorry. I grew up with true Mexican/New Mexican food. Not impressed with this place. Kind of…read moretasteless. It came highly recommended so I had to try it. I guess it's all about growing up with the place being "the place to go" in high school or your parents taking you there when you were a kid. I can see it's all about the memories not the food, which is mediocre at.best. Two stars instead of one because it's a locally owned business.

I had a warming and spicy Mexican-style shrimp soup, a pupusa with excellent curtado, platanos and a horchata drink. Very friendly service and very affordable as well. The restaurant is inside of a grocery store and bakery focused on Central American staples. If I am ever back in the area for work, I know exactly where to eat.

Great lower-than-average rates. Highly highly recommended.

I was super excited to try this place after reading reviews and hearing from a friend. It looks…read morelike a very legit Mexican spot. They have all the meats that I've heard of. I tried the adobada, which I love at other places. It was just good here. It was reddish and had sauce all over it. Not what I was used to with adobada. And not close to amazing. Maybe their carne asada is better. A friend got that plate, and it looked good. One friend got enchiladas. It was just ok. Like 2 stars. And another friend (I forgot what she ordered) said her food wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything to write home about. Place was small but could still fit a decent amount of people. And the service was friendly and patient. I'd try it again. Something must be amazing there.

I wish it were more food because I could have eaten 6-9 of these things. Great flavor. The ladies working were incredibly nice and the place was clean. It's not a large seating area so no space for large parties. I did find it a little expensive, but at least it's good. We spend 35 bucks on 6 tacos and two drinks. I'll definitely be eating here again. Their tacos are hard to beat.

I didn't try the hot sauce. Most meals are just the burritos or tacos. You have to order the rice and beans separate. I like this because I would rather eat several of those yummy tacos. They started out as a food truck. This was our first time to have this and we are hooked. We were told they will have a second location in Webb city mo. They have a drive thru. They have a food challenge. 6 pound burrito in 10 min. So far no one had been able to finish it. Their menu is small but I feel you should keep it small and focus on quality and that's what they are doing. They were really busy but we had excellent service. People will complain about their small menu, but you can go else where. You won't find meat this delicious! Love small family owned businesses!! Great job!
