Came here on a whim and I'm sp glad we did! When I worked in Citrus Heights there was a taco stand that I would regularly stop and get pupusas from. One day she was gone and I had hoped that she was OK. Today I found out she opened her own restaurant! I'm so excited to be able to get her food again. Today was a chorizo street taco, huarache, and chile relleno. Love the homemade tortillas and the relleno was stuffed full of the best cheese. Amazing food as always.

It’s always hard to find amazing authentic Mexican food around the Sacramento area , but when I say that this place serves the most delicious Mexican food around I’m not joking. The fact that they even serve salvadoran food is what adds the cherry on the top. Me and my family always try to come here at least 3 times a month because we just can’t help ourselves sometimes because that’s how delicious their food is.

If you’re craving beans, sopes or fried plantains this is the spot. Their chips are great and their salsa bar as well. I’m not a fan of their pupusas though, I wish I was. I am originally from southern Cali so I may be pickier. They charge 75 cents for credit card use, not a fan of that.
