Their quesabirria was to die for. So flavorful and delicious! One of the best I’ve had in recent memory. The exterior is pretty sketch, but the food is definitely worth trying. Ordered take out so I cannot speak for the service or atmosphere for dine in.

I come here at least once or twice a week the food is authentic. Very good, street tacos and burrito plenty food. If you're looking for that authentic Mexican taste this is the spot.

First, I always love fruit waters, and the pina colada was excellent. Steak fajitas were yummy with a little kick. Rice was well flavored and moist. Then of course there is the menudo, hubby loved it. Hard to find here in Toledo. Reasonable priced and I just found out they deliver. Definitely a place to check out!!

This is probably the best place I’ve eaten in Toledo. The best Mexican I’ve had in a long time. Nice homey place, great service. Food was incredible. Menudo #1. Beef tongue tacos #1. Tamales had a good portion of meat inside. Even the chips and salsa were muy bueno. Hands down if I lived closer, I’d go here regularly.

Never really thought about this little place down the street and I'm so glad I decided to give it a shot. I feel like im home ! I wanted to lose weight but no thankyou I just found my new addiction

Definitely has became my new favorite Mexican restaurant by far, I usually order on DoorDash or Uber eats but my order comes perfect and absolutely delicious every time! They always respect my special requests as well and I appreciate that a lot. I highly recommended trying them out if you enjoy authentic Mexican food and great service.

The real deal. We got the Chimichanga dinner, beef tamales with queso, street corn, and pineapple aqua fresca. Everything was fresh and delicious. Friendly and generous service.

Good vibes, the food is a bit pricey but decent portions. I ordered the Menudo and it was 15 and only one size available I was kinda taken back when she told me the price but I was very happy with the BIG to go cup filled to the brim, came with a choice of fresh Corn or rice tortillas Parcley flakes, chopped raw onions with Cilantro and two sides of hot sauce.. The soup was fantastic!
