    Saw online that there were great reviews. Took a trip to Elmhurst for the first time to downtown and was delighted with both the town and the restaurant. Our server Nathan was terrific. Food choices are extensive and everything was delicious.

    This neighborhood restaurant rivals any experience downtown! The staff is very attentive and friendly. We have so many menu favorites. For an appetizer, the ropa vieja with a side of guacamole and an order of queso fundido are delicious and a great way to start your meal. The mole sauce on the chicken enchiladas is excellent paired with a side of elote. Other entree favorites are the carne asada, barbacoa tocos and fire roasted shrimp. I love this Mexican restaurant with a Latin influence!
