This is THE BEST authentic Mexican food I’ve had in all the East coast area. Full of flavor, fresh ingredients, great portions and reasonably priced. I live an hour from Scranton and I’d happily drive to get this food. Come and you’ll feel at home (I certainly did 🥲).

The best authentic Mexican food in the area, by far! The tortas are the best. The staff is super friendly and always go above and beyond. Been going here almost weekly for over a year. I literally drive 45min each way to pick up food here, it’s that good. Cannot recommend enough.

First time dining at the restaurant, but we get breakfast from these guys every Sunday at the Circle flea market. Our food came up quickly and was delicious as always. The server was very sweet and attentive and did a great job managing the tables she had and all the take out orders that kept showing up. Nice, charming, low key atmosphere, small quiet dining room, great food.

The BEST Mexican restaurant in the East Coast. I live in Binghamton and will happily drive an hour to eat this food. Truly authentic Mexican food. Flavors are just perfect, portions are very filling, and prices are great. Just come and enjoy, you’ll thank me later.
