This was a very happy surprise! When I walked in, everyone was speaking in Spanish which I felt was a great sign. Food was absolutely outstanding. Great flavors. Salsas were good. The jamaica was perfect. Tasted better than much of the food I ate while living in Mexico. Definitely will be coming back!

These are hands down the best al Pastor tacos in the country. I have ate tacos all over this country and I have yet to find better al Pastor tacos. They have officially ruined all others for me.

My co-workers had found this place and recommended it, and once again they found an awesome Mexican restaurant. I would have never thought to look in Beloit, WI but there is truly a hidden gem there! The place is small but we were lucky and got a table. The salsa and chips are great - very fresh. The quantity of food for the money is great but more importantly the quality is awesome. I have literally eaten around the country and even outside the US, and this place is in the top ten without a doubt. I will make a plan to come here the next time I am in the Rockford area for business.

I love going to an ethnic restaurant and seeing people from that ethnicity dining there. That’s a confirmation I’m about to get an authentic experience. Food was on point. Fresh. Hot. Fast. Seasons and ingredients were terrific. Fresh cilantro in the salsas. Chunky yummy salsa choices. It’s not a big place but they managed our large group from work for a lunch. Portions were generous and prices were good. We are looking to come back.
