Old Fashioned Mexican Food! If you don't like the straight up traditional Mexican Food this place won't be your cup of tea ;) No bells and whistles here

It's very loud and crowded and the waiters seem to want to hurry people through. But the food is good.

Eh. There are worse Mexican restaurants and there are better. But it’s reliable. A nightmare getting seated though. So much confusion at the check.

I eat a lot here because it's within walking distance. The food is generally good, although quite basic. The enchiladas suiza are fantastic.
