One of the best home style Mexican places in Sarasota you can come and try! Perfect service and amazing food and drinks! The micheladas are to die for !10/10
the food was great. i got a chicken enchilada w the green sauce on the side (was a little too spicy for me but they replaced it with red sauce quickly after i asked) the tortilla was a little hard to cut through on the bottom but all was well anyway. i also tried some of my sisters chicken fajitas which was also delicious, loved the flavor on the chicken! good service, very kind, took a little long to get food but worth it considering it is all made fresh
Good was prepared well, although that breaded chicken was among the thinnest I've seen. It tasted good. Their corn tortillas were great.
Priced on the higher side compared to other similar restaurants. But what bothered me was the no water policy. I just wanted a glass water and they couldn't serve it.
And about that serving of chips and salsa - I understand that some restaurants do not provide free chips, that's fine, but that serving ended up being $6. It was too high.
Very friendly hostess and superb Huevos Rancheros! Very genuine Mexican atmosphere. I'll be back!
This is the best food I've had in Sarasota now. Very good and very authentic. There are a lot of little ingredients that they add for freshness and taste that most other restaurants cut corners on. Highly recommended.
I ate here for the first time for lunch today. I had Enchiladas Rojas. Very good food. I will definitely be back.
The best thing about this place, is the food hands down!! Especially the homemade corn tortillas. It's very authentic and has great flavor. I grew up on Mexican food and from what I've had so far, this is just like Mama's cooking. That's the 'pros' of this restaurant
The cons: The outdoor signage is only on the front of the glass door. No big sign outside, indicating the name. Just a large address number. I wasn't even sure if it was open during lunch time, so I got out of the car and looked before fully parking.
They also don't serve complimentary chips and salsa. You have to purchase them as a separate item, which I was initially disappointed about, but once I tasted the food, that was quickly overlooked! The portion sizes are also very good.
Overall, I think this place could be one of the best restaurants in town, with a few good improvements. I will definitely be back to try some of the other items on the menu.
Very delicious food. Would definitely recommend.
