This is an authentic Mexican restaurant. Note that the menu is a mixture of English & Spanish. The place provided a fair amount of seating for small and medium sized groups. We were greeted with chips and salsa to share while reviewing the menu. I chose the Enchiladas with the red sauce and found it very fresh and tasty. All four people in our party enjoyed our meals and were pleased with the service. I would recommend this restaurant and will return when in this neighborhood. Keep up the great work!

Authentic and delicious!! We were on the way to hit the Fairport Harbor Beach, and randomly found this restaurant one afternoon. To my surprise, it turned out to be the most authentic Mexican spot I’ve been to locally. Our family had just recently moved from CA, and having been used to great Mexican food in SF and LA, it’s tough to not be able to enjoy authentic options around. I love their green salsa and tacos with tripas and lengua. Excited to try their Pozole next time!
