    My absolute new favorite. I have yet to try anything I haven't liked on their menu. The street tacos, fajitas burrito, the nacho supreme, birria tacos. I cannot wait to try many more

    I have been coming here since they opened in Kansas City. This is a family owned business. One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in KC. The restaurant itself isn’t very big, most customers order carry out. I love their Sopes. Most customers come for the tamales. The food portions are great and the pricing is affordable. I wish this restaurant would move to Johnson County area because this location is far from where I live.

    So nice and informative when answering my questions. Food was the best. I will definitely be going back for more tamales and sopes! Food was hot and fresh and most delicious. As a perfect ending....the tres leches piece of cake was perfect!
