"Eating here again, had the Birria tacos and a lengua and again, it was delicious!
Just had lunch here with my godmother who has been raving about the food as she's local and has been here more then several times and highly recommends it. The food was fantastic! She had the birria tacos, I had one also plus lengua tacos and they are generous with their portions and the flavors are fantastic! Would definitely come again and again. The prices are very fair! The service was so friendly! Please come support this amazing cantina"

"We stopped by for lunch after a local—one of the kind librarians in town—highly recommended it, and she was absolutely right! From the moment we walked in, we were met with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and outstanding service. The food was incredibly fresh, packed with authentic flavors, and served in generous portions. Our server was attentive and made us feel genuinely cared for. The restaurant itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had such a cozy vibe. And let’s talk about their piña coladas—so refreshing and delicious!
If you’re looking for a fantastic place to eat with family or friends, this is it. You won’t regret it!"

"Hands down the best and most authentic Mexican food in Montezuma County! I had the Birria taco (which won best taco in Cortez and Montezuma County 2023) the fish taco and carne asada taco. SO DELICIOUS! Trust me. Don’t wait. Don’t pass go. Go here instead! Oh and don’t forget to order the hand made Cadillac Margarita from Aldo at the bar! So good 😋 All their food and salsas in their salsa bar and hand made to order. Great good at decent prices. You cannot go wrong here!"
