" First, upon entering we immediately noticed the authentic music at the perfect level and were greeted warmly. I cannot even begin to describe how intense all the flavors were — they reminded me of my trips to Mexico when I ate things I had never heard of. Every bite was a flavor explosion. This was a fantastic dining experience. "

" I felt like I was eating in Mexico with all these authentic flavours. We had the guacamole and tostada ceviche to begin — both lovely and fresh — and had Birria Tacos and enchiladas, both tasted amazing. The best Mexican I've had in a very long time. "
Red Deer, AB
" We went expecting Tex Mex food, but were not disappointed in any way as we found actual Mexican food. The owner was superb and explained the difference between the two ideas of Mexican food. The food is delicious and made fresh on site. You cannot go wrong if you enjoy Mexican food — this is the place to go. "

" Really awesome taco spot. Small inside, and cozy. The salsa selection was fantastic — I even bought some to take home. The tacos were well seasoned and very filling. Fantastic guacamole, and friendly service. Would absolutely go back again! "
