The most authentic Mexican food you will get in bay ridge. The service was exceptional. This is the best Mexican food I’ve had outside of Mexico City. To start me and my girlfriend had the shrimp aguachile it was extremely fresh and delicious. Then I had the chicken enchiladas with mole poblano and my girlfriend had the short rib in mole rojo both were nothing short of excellent. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food with high quality ingredients definitely stop by it will not disappoint. - Kevin Morales
