This place is SOO GOOD! Authentic! Good cheese, melted and fresh! Roasted onions and jalapenos! Big servings for a GREAT PRICE. The kind server Francisco, was great and attentive! You will not regret eating here. We ate soo much and got full and still had to get ToGo boxes. Will always come here for my Mexican food. It feels like a Mexican restaurant walked straight from Mexico and into Tahlequah! LOVE IT! Worth a visit!

Over Memorial Day weekend I got the pleasure of eating here and I was glad I did!! The service was phenomenal and the food was too. I ordered a Modelo w Lime and Fish Tacos The flavor punched me right in the face (in a good way ).

The menudo I get every weekend be piping hot. Almost melting the container. Great seasoning and ingredients. Along with my shrimp cocktail.... scrumptious!!

Awesome restaurant. Great staff. I arrived at 8:45pm and they accommodated me even though they closed at 9pm. Tried a new item on their menu: Street Tacos! Yum! Had one steak, one pork, on chicken, and one chorizo. All were chunky pieces of meat. The chorizo was the best! It arrived with rice and homemade Frijoles Charros (which is like a soup broth to enhance the flavor of the street tacos). So good! Highly recommended!

Came here for a late lunch. Service was good and quick. Cheese dip and guac came out fast. The birria tacos were amazing. The steak fajitas were good. Updated: 24-07-06 Came back again. Service was crazy fast. Tried the Jalisco Fajitas and homemade guac. Fajitas were still good. Shrimp was not overcooked. The homemade guac was HUGE and you have to assemble/chop/stir it your self. I prefer the spiciness of the premade.

The service was fast. The waiter was nice. Everyone greeted with a smile. The food was fresh and hot, seasoned to perfection. There is a special sauce the brisket taco is dipped in . The sauce added a delicacy of tenderness to the meat when eating the Brisket Taco. You must try it. And the chorizo beans had a touch of pork meat. And the price was very reasonable.

Be ready to eat, mucho grande portions! You get chips and salsa for the table and we added queso and guac, it was alot to start! Street tacos, asanda Ranchero, amd the chicken molcajete were all super big plates, alot of flavor, and super filling! Great value, good service, and great time.

This restaurant is one of the best Mexican restaurants my husband and I have ever been to! We had the Mezcal dip as an appetizer and it was a delicious blend of seasoned ground beef, refried beans and cheese!! Yum yum!! We also had a taco salad and California burrito!! We were not disappointed!! The wait staff was friendly, courteous and prompt! We hope to be back again soon!
