Great food and drinks with friendly service! Excellent Carnitas and authentic Chili Verde
Cute little place. They do have a big room for large groups though! We shared the steak fajitas. More than enough for the 2 of us and brought home leftovers. Great big margaritas also. Service was great and very friendly atmosphere.
Hands down the BEST in this town! Awesome service and beautiful ambience. Chips and salsa always fresh.. very fresh! Can’t go wrong, you will love it!
This is my & my husbands new favorite Mexican Restaurant in Grants Pass. We've eaten here about 4 times & is consistantly great. They are great with the dipping sauces. I chose something unusual from their lunch menu called a Tacaburrio (?) Soooo yummy!
Amazing small restaurant with huge platters! Would love to come again if we are in town again!
Great experienced friendly servers. Thanks to our server: Esmeralda for the great experience we got while there. Keep it up.
Got the Sope lunch and an horchata, it was soooo good! The horchata came in a giant iced mug and was absolutely delicious! The sope was perfectly cooked, the meat was so yummy and the beans and rice made it so filling, I honestly could’ve shared the plate.
5 stars on all of it shot it's 100 stars. The chicken in your burritos is flavored to give a ultimate experience in your mouth. Service is amazing and your food comes out fast and hot
