Amazing food, I believe negative reviews are for another restaurant with same name that has horrible reviews. If you haven’t tried this place you absolutely should!

I have been coming here for years. It is awesome fresh authentic Hispanic food. The best around reminds me of Mexican cuisine from the time I lived south of the Border. Excellent food, great pricing. A hidden gem run by an exceptional Mother. Do not hesitate. Once you try it you will be pleased .

Hands down some hot and cheesy papusas. I just ate all of them in my car haha I prefer my mom’s sauce bc their sauce is a little watery but it was very good overall. So worth it. I want to go back and order more hahaha
