The best Mexican food we've had outside of Mexico. We had carnitas and fajitas. The outside of this place doesn't come close to representing how good it is.

Very relaxed and pleasant atmosphere; wonderful service; delicious food! The chips were very likely made in house and were very thin and tasty as was the salsa. Entrees: cheese enchilada and chile relleno - delicious!; wet pork burrito - also excellent and very large. Definitely recommended!

This is not an easy place to find. It sits on the main road, next to an all you can eat joint, and the restaurant side is very small. It has a solid menu, good service, cold cerveza and outstanding hot sauce. We ordered different items and all were very impressed with what they got. It is not the cleanest... More

I'm not a big fan about Mexican food because the hot sauces in the food, but this place is way out of the planet. Food was delicious and none of them feels with chilly. Natural waters really the best so don't even ask for sodas. Try the must you can but beware plates are huge. But you can still ask... More

Overall, great food!!! Very authentic! Salsa wasn't the best and the service was a little slow, but our meals were well worth the wait!

WOW, my wife and I decided to eat Mexican and checked out the reviews so we stopped by, first and foremost if u have a GPS don't follow the GPS route that takes u 17 miles from Kissimmee. It took us to a residential area. Key in the address on tripadvisor and your way to great Mexican food. To start,... More

Yes, it's a "hole in the wall." Yes, service can be a tad bit slow (not too bad), but I'm telling you...STOP! The food is truly authentic. I spent years eating Mexican Food around 26th St in Chicago, and was lucky to eat many home-cooked meals by my Mexican friends' mothers, and I think this place is the real deal.... More

Had to wait to get in the door but worth the wait. Best ever chips and salsa. OMG the shrimp burrito was HUGE and just wonderful. Very slow service but they were packed so didn't expect to get great service.

Not sure who the people are leaving 5 star reviews for this dump but my advice is to keep driving. The service is horrible. They do not honor their own coupons even when presented before seating, the manager said they were fine yet, at the end, they refused to deduct from bill. And the bill comes with "mandatory" gratuity. My... More
