The Best Mexican food in NW Indiana hands down. Tacos are so delicious and the Tostadas with Pork are to die for. Everything is delicious and Menudo is so good. Yum. My daughters and grandkids live in Valpo and when we come in to town this is the place where we celebrate. I can't find anything like this in Florida where we live.
I enjoyed the tacos and would had like to have a lime or lemon for the top of the tacos. Service was good and fast and I will definitely be returning to try more than just their authentic tacos
Even though I've moved out of state, NOTHING compares to this place, I miss it. The food is phenomenal. I recommend the fajitas and queso. The margaritas are perfectly tart. Definitely one of those places that doesn't look special but the food will bring you back every time. And as far as I know the servers have been there forever and are very kind and hard working.
