What our customers say about our Mexican food

Over 1000 Mexican dishes served in Wayne. Real reviews.

Absolutely loved this place. The food tasted like someone’s grandmother was in the kitchen, in the best possible way. Fresh, flavorful, and authentic, with that homemade depth you hope for but do not always find. Everything we tried was delicious, and we left already talking about coming back. A real gem. Prices are affordable and the staff was very kind. You won't be disappointed. We forgot to take a Pic of our dinner, but dessert was also homemade and delicious.

I like that I was attended in time, cool place with vibrant colors, love their outdoor place too. Having less vegetarian options, but tortillas are fresh and I like my drink how it was presented. Delicious food with special request of veggies and offered special tequila shots with watermelon flavor.
