      Authentic Mexican food is difficult to find in the South, but this hole-in-the-wall restaurant made me feel like I was back in a California taqueria. The interior offers serval booths to sit in, the service was great, and the food was on par with the best of California taquerias. Chips and salsa were good. The corn tortillas are homemade. I had the carnitas and they were great. My husband had the al pastor burrito and it was delicious. The menu is extensive with many options. The prices are very reasonable too. I'd definitely eat here again if I'm ever back in Boone.

      On a Friday night this was a welcome sight for our first time in Boone.
      We were able to get seated quickly and sat in the back room. You could smell the food cooking.
      Fairly rustic back there but clean. Put young server was nice and pleasant. Chips and salsa were good although I personally like my chips a little thinner.
      We got the chicken and chorizo with rice - delicious and had a clean plate - and the steak/chicken fajitas- huge portion and cooked perfectly. The tortillas were fresh and tasty.
      The cold beer - Pacifico- was Ice cold and went perfect with the meal. Good service and you pay up front. Really good family Mexican restaurant in Boone. I recommend giving it a try.

      Bland food...try to nickle and dime you to death. Even the chips didn't come with salsa...which is an opening to knowing how good the food is gonna be. Total let down for the amount of Spanish in the area.

      Authentic Mexican menu with awesome salsas. The habanero one is super spicy and great! I got the Vegetarian B option which included a burrito, a tostada and a quesadilla with guacamole salad. I've eaten in the little restaurant (strip mall off of Hwy. 105) but I got it to-go today and it was ready in 10 minutes.

      Visiting from out of state and we decided to make our way to this place, passing other Mexican restaurants along the way because reviews of service weren't great. So glad we did, Great Mexican spot! Service was fantastic, food delicious, horchata yummy! I wish I could remember the name of my dish... grilled chicken with onions, mushrooms, and rice. Rice was flavorful and fresh. My boyfriend had enchiladas with verde sauce. They were very good as well. If we lived here we would eat here weekly or more! To top it off prices are great as well.
      11/10 would recommend.

      Best tacos I've had in ages!! We also got the guacamole mexico and it was great! The avocados are chopped with fresh veg and the portion is very generous.

      The service was really good, the waitress that took care of us was very nice. The tacos were delicious and very authentic you could tell the corn tortillas were made in house. The portions were a great size and everything was very fresh and flavorful. definitely recommend!
