Cozy spot for lunch. Food was good, staff was pleasant. Smaller than I thought, no table service ( order and pick up at counter, clear your own table). Good guac. Drink was delicious, but a bit pricey for the size.

For a location Mexican restaurant, everything has been on point from presentation and communication with the staff. Love there, Taco salad, and I had a steak burrito. Also, I did try four soft corn tacos (chicken,fish,steak, and shrimp)

The decor is beautiful . Welcoming atmosphere. We had very pleasant customer service. We ordered 2 crunchy tacos a beef n bean burrito and 2 waters. After tip it was a fast $20. kind of on the pricey side but the food was authentic . You can watch it be made while enjoying traditional music.

The food was made to order, FRESH and DELICIOUS. I got 1 fish taco, and 2 shrimp tacos and they were so good. The elote was PERFECT!! This is place is a must go to, if you want Mexican in Dorchester. They take a bit to get you your food, but it is always well worth the wait. The alcoholic drinks are overpriced and gross! That watermelon mojito was absolutely disgusting. The frozen margarita was so watered down that it tasted like mango hinted water. Just stick to the food because it is seasoned, fresh and tasty. The place is also pretty affordable. Highly Recommend, and I will be back.

Service is pleasant, owner works hard to meet customers where they are at. (Edited: as noted by his response below.) Ordered a pork taco. Meat was moist/tender but left me desiring more. The taste was a little bland, drink was strong and small. Overall, too expensive for the value.

I ordered a steak nacho bravo, and I was very disappointed. I did lift the bottom to see if there were any chips in there, and there were a bunch of broken pieces. I usually order this all the time. And this go round, it was terrible. Soggy cold and the steak was gummy. Smh, I also called an hour after they opened, so not sure why the quality was highly disappointing.

The place is small and not a ton of seating. The staff is very friendly. The food in my opinion is over prices. You get a very small order for what you pay for the yucca frita. I would have never ordered it if I knew how little you get, very stingy amount. The tacos were okay, I dont like how you have no idea what they decide to add until you get it because I would have said, no onions and have added other ingredients. My favorite was the queso empanada. The margarita was delicious as well. I will probably never return here.
