“ This place is delicious. I love their tamarindo drink. Torta was nice and big. My only complaint is the music is too loud and price for the torta was $17-18! The chorizo on the sope was also very grounded up and not enough salsa was brought out for the chips. ”
“ The cleanest most delicious carnitas I've had in Las Vegas. The cafe de olla delicious. Lots of cinnamon which I like. Salsas nice and spicy. Great cilantro and onions. I had the banana dessert thing and it was delicious. I love this place. It's great! The tortillas he has de Mano are so good ”
“ Food was good, could've been better. Not enough toppings or salsas. Chicharon tasted old. Not that fresh. ”
“ I’m always on the road working and finding gems like this one is always a pleasure. Some of the best Carnitas I’ve tried in Las Vegas. Handmade tortillas are always delightful, when you dine in the will serve you complementary chips and salsa, don’t skip it it’s mild but pairs wonderfully The ingredients always taste fresh, yet the service is very fast, ideal for a quick bite. When I have a chance I do full meal, can’t go wrong with the enchiladas Michoacanas The green salsa is delicious but if you want spicy try the red one. Fresh aguas frescas and great customer service. Nothing like a family owned business ”
