Decided to try this new Mexican place for dinner last Fri night, it was really good. Two of my girlfriends and I love Mexican food but the menu had some things we never heard of before. I had the tamales and loved every bite. We had a lot of food for the money. Sheila's beef burrito dish was incredibly huge. All of our dinners came with beans and rice. The service was good. The restaurant is not that big so we waited around ten minutes for a table but it was worth waiting for. No parking except for the street.

I'm not a big foodie, but I really loved the marinated pork I got from this place. The sweet plantains are incredible with a hint of cinnamon and sugar. I also love that they sell Mexican Coca-Cola - none of that high fructose corn syrup.
