Testimonials
★★★★★

There are so many Mexican restaurants, but this is one of my favorites. The food is always fresh and delicious. The service is always very authentic and welcoming. I really like atmosphere, finally a place where it’s not overloaded and not too loud. I highly can recommend the fresh made guacamole (at your table).

This place is a gem. Spacious dining area. Nice art on the wall and the food was remarkable. Birra is becoming more and more popular and if you want to try it done right at a fantastic price. I don’t know why they don’t have a line out the door. I got the house special birra burrito and it was phenomenal. The lettuce was crisp and fresh. The meat was melt in your mouth tender. I will definitely go back there.
