I order from here regularly and thought it was time for a review. Love this place. Tacos, fantastic. Burritos, to die for. And the seafood soup is divine.

If you want an authentic and lovely Mexican experience, try this place! It is a wonderful place to eat for almost all occasions. My partner who has backpacked through Mexico last year thinks this restaurant is super authentic and right out of the family-owned business category from Mexico. We have had take out from there multiple times, and even though Mexican dishes are always too heavy for me, I am willing to go through the uneasiness afterwards for their delicious food. We have had all kinds of tacos and quesadillas, their meat is fresh (which I think is the most important component) and very well seasoned and cooked. Their presentation is simple but cute and lovely, like their lovely Jukebox. The staff are always super friendly and very helpful. Last night my partner took me here for a spontaneous date night after Salsa class, and we had amazing food, Mexico-flag-colored chips and salsa, and Champurrado (if you have never tried it, you nust do so immediately. It is an ancient chocolate-based drink that the Mayans made, so amazing and fitting for these cold wintery nights, but it's not that light, so don't fill up on tacos!). Cannot recommend enough. Extra loveliness points: there are a bunch of Mexican artworks on their walls, including the Eagle warrior portraits, pottery from Aztec calendars and such. Oh and there is always Mexican music playing.

Newest find in Delaware! Quite an extensive menu, so you’ll definitely be able to find something that you like. We ordered the menudo soup, taco al pastor and taco with chorizo, chimichanga with chorizo, torta with beef cheek, and churros for dessert. Everything was delicious, the portions were good, and the service was great. We will definitely be back to try more items on the menu!

This restaurant is small, but mighty! We have had tacos, enchiladas, birria, fajitas, carnitas...all delicious! I checked tonight and saw that I have never reviewed it! This time we had enchiladas and carnitas. Their homemade corn tortillas are fresh and big. The green enchilada sauce is garlicky with a little heat. The rice is light and fluffy. The beans are pinto, mostly blended, but are definitely porky! The salads are fresh and the carnitas is chunky and big, with lots of crispy bits.
