Trio enchiladas were amazing! We come for taco Tuesday 1.50 tacos. So far haven’t had a bad thing here.
Springfield has a number of good Mexican restaurants, and this is one of the better ones. We've been here several times, and... it's never been busy for reasons we don't understand because the food is really. Perhaps it's the lack of a liquor license.There's a wide variety of dishes, some of which aren't found at most restaurants in town such as ceviche camarones. They alsohave horchata, a delicious refreshing rice drink. Try it. I find it helps cut the burn of hot, spicy food. They also havevegetarian dishes which my wife appreciates. I love carne asada, and it's particularly good here as are the chile rellenos.There's not much ambience but who cares with food this good. Try it. Read more

Beef tongue tacos = A+++. The flavor was there and the cilantro and onions were fresh. I appreciated the caramelized onion.... These might be the best tacos in Springfield. The rice and beans were good. I accidentally ordered ground beef tacos which is myfault as apart of my combo. I will be back and will be bringing my boyfriend and friends in the future. Read more
They have a drive up window which is cool. I ordered the cheese steak and there was hardly any cheese. The steak was cooked... nice. Rice was bland. Beans were over mixed. We also ordered tacos and they were tiny. The salsa was green and didn't stick tothe chips. They do have indoor and outdoor seating. Plus Read more
The best thing I could do is not leave a review. But, here we are. Food was pretty good, not the best I've ever had, but... certainly not the worst. Service was excellent. The environment though, well, it was a little shabby, felt a bit dingey? Notfull out dirty but it has room for improvement shall we say. Also, wasn't really a big fan of young children playing in thedining room. I mean, I get it, what else are they to do but just not a huge fan of loud children. Read more
