Service was very nice price was ok. Presentation of food was good. Rice was fine, refried beans were fantastic, and the chicken tacos were very good but lacking seasonings on the meat. Hot sauce was different than most I've had and not overly spicy but still good. If you're looking for a quick bite or a dine in meal this is a good option! Very good hours! Never have had a issue with parking, easy to find.

Amazing service and food! We were greeted with warm tortilla chips and salsa followed by huge portions of delicious food. The service was fast, but we didn’t feel rushed. All in all a great place would definitely come again.

My fiancée and I visited around 2pm today and had an amazing time. It wasnt too busy and our waitress was very kind and quick with her service! The chips are good quality, on the thicker side. We tried the wet burrito and it was AMAZING! It's so huge we were able to get half to go and anyone could tell it was made with fresh ingredients. I do regret not trying the salsa, since I'm sure it's awesome. Next time we're in Michigan City we'll definitely have to stop by again ☺️

The food here is wonderful. They give you portions large enough to serve as 2 meals... but I lack all forms of self control and leave overstuffed every time. I do caution you, it is a more authentic style of mexican food, so if you are afraid of flavor and think mayo is spicy, this is not the place for you. It is a bit of a hole in the wall, but it is charming with a great staff. I have never gotten anything than the utmost respect from this clearly loving family when offering up my patronage.

We haven't been here for a while and I forgot how good it could be. Wonderful salsa the guac was very good. Who could complain about warm tortilla chips? Steak tacos were really good as were the beans and rice. If you like spicy try the appetizer Fundo. Chorizo and tons of cheese! I was told the bean burrito was filling . Hope it doesn't take us as long to revisit.

Best and most authentic restaurant I’ve been to in a long while. Highly recommend the shrimp chimichanga with a side of the house spicy chili sauce. I also ordered a side of guacamole and it was spot on for flavor and the avocados used were perfectly ripe. Fair prices. Great service.
