Best Mexican, but Long Wait

Be prepared to wait for a table. People camp out with coolers to get into this authentic, inexpensive and delicious Mexican restaurant. I saw Usher eating there.

Very authentic

First of all, there is always a wait. Be prepared to wait 30 minutes in off peek hours and up to 90 minutes during peek hours. Very casual dining, they do not put a lot into the atmosphere, so do

I would have given zero stars if possible. The service was sub-par and the management was non-responsive. The food was inedible. Don't waste your money. La Botana or Monterrey are better and less

A different place

This is a very different place to eat. The only problem that we had was that it was a little crowded and we thought that they needed more tables. But other than that, the food was delicious.
