I am always in the hunt for real Mexican food and especially some that take me back to my visits to Mexico. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. We got our food very quickly especially compared to some other places similar to this that I’ve been. I highly recommend the chicken enchiladas in mole. I still need to go back and try them with the green sauce. I also had jamaica (hibiscus drink). It was delicious. I like it both sweet or sour and this one was sweet. You should try it if it is new to you. My friend loved her meal. She had al pastor and chicken tacos. Serving sizes are fantastic. The vibe in there is similar to some of the comida corridas I have been to in Mexico. I find there is generally a sense of community and that was not missing here. I wish I had a time machine so I could eat my meal all over again. I recommend this place highly and I will be back for sure! ¡Buen provecho!

Went out for a family meal and we were not disappointed. The service is great. Food came out quick. The guacamole and nachos are fantastic. Everything is made in house. Oh my the tacos tostadas and empanadas.....nom nom. Highly recommended!

Had some fresh complimentary chips with light delicious salsa. Had the burria burrito and asada puerca. Everything was flavorful and delicious. The right amount of heat...you can feel it but it's not overwhelming. Portions were large and service was quick. We had 2 meals out of each. It's a cute place like straight out of Mexico!

This place is stupid good. We went at 6ish on a Saturday and it was busy - so be prepared to potentially wait. All the food was so delicious, we had various beef, pork, and chicken dishes. Everything was amazing. You order at the counter but the food is delivered to your table. Staff is very very friendly and it’s toddler friendly. I also highly recommend getting a side of rice and beans. Definitely recommend.

THIS is the Mexican / Latin restaurant you’ve been looking for in London. Authentic Mexican flavours. Fresh ingredients, homemade sauces. We came as a family of 5 with our 3 kids. We had tacos, gorditas, sopa, burrito, carne assada dinner plate with rice and beans, nachos and fresh guacamole. Everything was delicious and fresh. The chef came out to check on all of the tables halfway through the meal which was thoughtful. The service was quick and friendly our kids loved it they finished everything! As a Latin immigrant family we are always looking for authentic food and flavours that remind us of home. Harder to find in London than you might think. We’re so glad we found this spot and will be coming back for sure. QUE VIVA MEXICO!

The BEST mexican food I have had in a very long time! The authenticity from the food to the vibe was amazing. I came all the way from Guelph to try this place with family and we were all blown away by how delicious the food was and how friendly the staff were. Portion sizes are very generous, the food tasted incredible. Can't wait to come back!!

I went based on recommendation. We really enjoyed. Amazing food and amazing people. We had Taco Barabacoa and some other things. Just went with what was recommended. It was a great experience. I would highly recommend.

Wow, for years I thought my favourite Mexican restaurant in Peterborough Ontario could never be beat, boy was I wrong. This place is family run and filled with local Latin families (they know how good it is). The prices for portion sizes are phenomenal and the flavour is even more unbelievable. I cannot recommend this place enough. Easily some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had, the father came out halfway through and asked if we needed anything extra! The family style vibe and authenticity of this place is so hard to beat
