We hadn't been here in over 25 years and we are dumping our old Mexican restaurant in Fairwood. So the current owner Paco & Elizabeth are here about 1.5 years and offers a excellent meal. We will be back because everything was fresh & delicious. There refried beans & rice were delicious. Best beens anywhere so we brought home sone to enjoy later. The flat steak was delicious and there green salad is fresh as well. Yes we will be back! Buy the way they are open for breakfast at 7 am every day and close at 10 pm except Friday & Saturday they are open for Karaoke till 1:30 am. Give them a try & help support this small family restaurant here in Kent!

Our first time here . I ordered a virgin huckleberry daiquiri which was DELICIOUS. We then ordered the street tacos which were very authentic and flavorful ! Even my child's chicken nuggets were very good . What I appreciate the most is the service provided by the staff . They were very attentive and wanted to make sure everything was ok with our meal , which it was !

We were super impressed with the food at this little place. The accommodated our large party, brought us plenty of chips. They had just made homemade salsa and it was fresh and delicious. The food was tasty. Tortillas all tasted fresh and handmade. We would definitely eat here again. We also tried their horchata and it was probably the best we've ever had. The restaurant itself isn't super fancy but for our family with small kids it was just fine.

Ate here with some family who was visiting from out of town! The service and restaurant are a total gem in the Kent area. The food was really good and a great value. What they offer is pretty traditional in terms of options. Most dish's are available as veg options just ask! Got an delicious aqua fresca too. Would go back!
