“ As the name suggests, it is a Mexican restaurant, and it is closer to the taste of Mexico than the localized fusion restaurant that you eat in the US. It is not a fancy restaurant, but it is easy to understand if you think of it as a food truck or a street food shop. The price of food has gone up a little, but it is still a cheap restaurant. I think this kind of restaurant is also good in Pensacola, even though seafood is good. However, it is easy to miss the entrance, so please note that it is behind the Shell Gas Station. ”

“ Ordered delivery today and HOLY SMOKES absolutely delicious. The steak burrito is so good. The steak immediately hit my taste buds and I can't even begin to tell you how good it is. It was like the slow smoked grilled it for hours. Seriously have not had better. The rice has just as much flavor to it. The beans were a little different being that they had a soupy consistency. But very good as well. Legit run to this place don't walk. You wont regret it! The only thing is that I wish they had chips and made their own house salsa. ”
