We stopped in for lunch before visiting the nearby historical museum, and we really enjoyed! The staff was super friendly & the food was delicious!! Portions were big & if we hadn't been going to the museum we'd had plenty to take home. Restaurant had plenty of seating place & was quite clean. If in the area, we'll definitely visit again.

They had great service and the food was authentic Mexican. It was very good. We had a great experience here.

I really enjoyed the bracero dip and the fajitas mexicanos!
