“ We've been eating here for years! It's always a full house when we go but, I guess it's time to let everyone else know. This is the best Mexican food in town!! Plus, wonderful staff and clean restaurant. Enjoy!! ”
“ I really enjoy the food here their burritos are huge and really a great value. Their taquitos are really good too. They have a happy hour margarita, which is the perfect size. This recent visit we ordered the Molcajete and unfortunately was disappointed. We order this in several different Mexican restaurants around town and this was the least flavorful. It had some kind of green sauce and then all the meat was hanging out of the bowl and the cheese was huge chunks and not melted so I definitely would not recommend it but their other food is great. ”
“ Hubby and I stopped in for dinner. It was sooooo good. The server was so attentive. I ordered the new Fuego Mezcalita and it's the best cocktail I've had in a long time & fairly priced. It was sweet, smokey with a hint of spice. Our food came out in a good time frame. The salsa is perfect. I ordered combo #13 which was a tamale and taco with rice & beans. Hubby got a gigantic burrito. The vibe was chill & they had a few tvs with games on. Everything was so yummy. We'll definitely be back!!! ”
“ Amazing & authentic Mexican restaurant!!! Food, atmosphere and service were ... Loved the food... our server Tania went above & beyond to take care of us. I will be back ”
“ It took me two days to come back to this review and really analyze what I had when it comes to service, value, and how good the food tasted. In 2011 I used to work at the Best Buy around the corner for four years and lots of my coworkers recommended this place, but I never pulled the trigger and tried it. 13 years later, I finally visited this place for a combination plate. I ordered One Enchilada, 1 Chile Relleno and 1 Tamale. I really feel bad for myself for not coming here sooner. I really felt like I robbed myself of some of the greatest Mexican food in Aurora. Everything was hot. The service was fast and most importantly the food was consistently delicious. I even got chips and salsa that I didn’t know I would even receive. The salsa was delicious. There was so much food for the price of about 15 that I couldn’t believe it. If you are big on reviews and love Mexican food, please give this place a try you will not be disappointed. I cannot wait to take my family back and enjoy more of what they have to offer. The service was outstanding. I was greeted immediately, and my food was ready within eight minutes of me, ordering it. I will definitely be back for more.... ”
