Reviews
Service was excellent, food as well. Had the Pescado Dorado. It was cooked perfectly and nicely balanced with the sides.

Excellent Mexican food. Really nice authentic looking and spacious interior. Friendly service and reasonable prices. It's in the heart of downtown so it's street parking or there is a free public parking deck nearby. I have not eaten anything here that i didn't enjoy. There is also a bar here with more alcohol choices than a typical taqueria.

A very rich meal and the very familiar place. The owner very kind.
