Holy... Crap... This place is AMAZING! I can't recommend this place enough! Food was fantastic and service was great too. The owner came out and recommended something off menu (they smoke chickens and ribs) and it was delicious, smoky and HUGE! Definitely a must try!

I came across this place by accident when I first moved into Jacksonville, and it has been one of the happiest accidents. I’ve come here a couple times with my kids and we always have a great experience. It is a very authentic look and feel and the food is always great. I highly recommend the Mojarra Frita, tacos de lengua y sopa de pollo.

Good vibe and service. The food was good. Chile relleno was good. Ground beef was a bit dry and the texture was a bit grainy. Will go back to try other menu items. Price was very reasonable!
