I can't say enough good things about this place! The chili rellenos were absolutely massive -- easily the biggest I've ever been served -- and packed with flavor. You can truly taste the authenticity in every bite. The seasoning, the texture, the freshness -- everything was spot on. Not only was the food delicious, but the portion sizes are incredible for the price. It's rare to find such great value paired with such genuine, homemade taste. If you're craving real Mexican food that fills you up and satisfies your soul, this is the spot. Highly recommended!

We were driving back from Charlotte to Detroit and found this random Mexican spot. It looks deceiving outside as it's not well lit and in almost a random spot. But once we got in, things were different. Everyone was very friendly, we had an awesome server who checked on all the tables and handled everything well. We ordered 3 veggie things, the fajita veggies, fajita nachos, and quesdilla. It only came out to $24! The food was amazing, the quesdillas was the cheapest but tasted the best. A bit greasey but the flavors were on point!

Awesome Mexican restaurant. It's very reminiscent of places I've been to in the South. The food is authentic, and the people are genuine. The service is quick, and they are accommodating for requests. Update; Still awesome. Stopped in today and got the El Coloso burrito, and the cheesecake chimi (photos). The service is great still and everything tasted awesome 5 stars.
