First of all, I want to apologize for sharing a picture of a plate I had already touched—but the flavor was soooo good I just had to share it! This is honestly one of the best places I’ve tried so far. Authentic Mexican food at its finest. I had the Ribeye San Jose and my wife had the mixed fajitas. Everything was A+! - Jose Guerrero
