The most amazing food including churro’s with exceptional food portions. The service was fast & courteous. Will definitely order from here again.

If you like authentic Mexican food you should defiantly try this place out!! The sizes are well portioned and the prices are extremely reasonable. I highly recommend the tortas. They are ENORMOUS & super delicious!!! Will be coming often :)

Super delicious, authentic gem! A must go to spot in Waterbury! Generous portions with lots of flavor.

I bought a torta and it was so good The portion size it was so big I ate just the half of the torta but the food it’s so fine.

The food in this place is always delicious and spot on. You have to try the Carne Asada Torta. You won’t finish it but it’s always delicious later.

Super underrated spot. Hidden gem, small but cute on the inside. The food (ordered a bistec torta and nachos) blew our expectations out of the water. Great portion sizes — definitely will come again and try more stuff.
