This spot has been open for a bit. I am always going the wrong way to be able to stop in. It's a bit hard to get into the lot unless you are going the right way on Kenwood Road. I can only speak about the steak torta I had. First of all it was so big it filled the container. I knew it felt heavy when I picked up the bag. Not only was it big, but it was full of steak and toppings. The steak was seasoned well, the sandwich was very tasty! It had lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, jalapeños, cheese, and mayo. Refried beans is a topping, but I got those on the side. Yes, this is now a place I have to visit to try more.

Absolutely delicious. One of my favorite spots. One of the authentic spots in Cincy! My favorites are the tortas (pro tip, get cotija cheese) and tamales (which are ). Have to complete the meal with salsa (perfect balance of spicy and so so flavorful) and horchata. The tacos and burritos are also . Really can't go wrong with anything from this spot. ¡A must regular spot for la comida Mexicana deliciosa !

Was around the area and looked up places near by and this place came up. We ordered chilaquiles, alambres and chiles toreados. This was to go, however, the service was great. They were very friendly and offer different kind of salsas. The food was outstanding, both dishes were delicious, loved the chilaquiles. They had beef steak and for the price the portions were great. This is a must try place, I will for sure go back
