"Excellent! Authentic flavors all the way to the wallpaper. Highly recommend the meat nachos — they were so good! Rolled chicken taquitos: fabulous. Barbacoa tacos were my fav. Hidden gem: the corn elote / spicy or normal."

Carne Asada Fan

★★★★★

"The Carne Asada is always delicious. The Barbacoa is super tender and flavorful. Their spicy salsa is 👌 but if you don't like too much kick, their green salsa is tasty. Their Chipotle sauce is amazing!"

"Traditional Mexican home flavor food. Love their salsa, encurtido bar. Tortas, chile relleno and chimichangas are my 3 faves. Have visited since 2005 and is an obliged stop every time I come to South Dade. Recommended 100%."

★★★★★

"The indoor seating is colorful and cute. Lots of natural light. The menus are big, colorful, and well-designed. Self-serve sauces on the side — spicy, green sauce, and banana peppers. The prices are very low. We'll definitely be back!"
