One of our favorite Mexican restaurants in the Springs. Great food, great service, colorful atmosphere. On this stop my wife got the Birria Ramen and I had the Enchilada Suizas. Both were excellent. We love the condiments/salad bar. It has five or six kinds of salsa with varying degrees of heat. Our server was very friendly and thorough. The atmosphere, as I said, is colorful and festive. Prices are very reasonable. We highly recommend!
The birria tacos are amazing. I love that I can buy chips for $2.50, and get salsa for them for free. This is my favorite go to Mexican spot. Also, Jesus is very friendly and easy to talk to. He is very nice, and professional! I love this place lol. I love the mexican decor too! It had a very nice Christmas tree when I went last time.
Growing up in california, I've always felt its hard to find good mexican food outside of my home state(especially in the springs). Overall I was very impressed with the quality of food, the service and beautiful design inside this hidden gem. Whenever family comes to visit me from california I bring them here and they are never dissapointed.
Best mexican food in town so far! Very tasty, very fresh, big servings and loved their salsa bar!!! Oh and the horchata was delicious
l really liked the tables they were so colorful! The waitress was kind and efficient. My burrito was really tasty and I was able to get one birraria taco, super yummy! It was also nice to choose from a bunch of salsa, that was not easy choosing my favorite. The restaurant is in a quiet shopping area, they need to get the parking lot paved!! It's hard to believe such a yummy little Mexican restaurant is right there tucked in the corner. Don't let it fool you it's a delicious little spot! I totally recommend
Love this place! The staff is always right on top of things. The birria is awesome! Love the salsa bar. Been coming here for years and will continue to be my go to for authentic Mexican food.
