Had a great experience at this location. I will be returning to try more menu items. Some prices are a little higher than some of the other next places in the area but service and food were very good! Free chips and sauces with table service. Very nicely decorated and lots of seating.

This place is everything. Service and staff were amazing, food was phenomenal and place was outstanding! I loved every moment being here. I got the horchata and lemonade and were they delicious that I got the horchata two times! Got the birria quesadilla and burro and best decision. If anything I would’ve change the fries for the chips (even though they gave us chips and salsa). Definitely coming back here soon!

Best Mexican food in Mercer county for sure. It was simple and clean. Not overpowering flavor. I know alot of people have had their opinion about the food. Try it for yourself! The ambience is a vibe for sure! Wishing them well on their new journey. Worth trying! Support a locks business by experiencing it for yourself.

We really enjoyed our meal and the wonderful service. Staff was very friendly and inviting. Answering all our questions about menu items and notifying us it items on the menu were spicy. We had the enchiladas with rice and beans, steak taco, chorizo taco and chicken taco. Everything was cooked perfectly and served hot! Plus chips and dips were included and delivered as we were seated. Their house sauce with the chips was fantastic! Love having a great local Mexican restaurant in town. Very welcome addition that we will be visiting often.
