Ive been here several times and the food doesnt disappoint. The flavors are great, presentation is very nice. Ive gotten the enchiladas the last 2 visits and they are amazing. 3 enchiladas filled with your choice of filling. I especially loved the barbacoa. Served over rice. Both times I had two meals it was so much food.
