I had a great meal at this new Mexican restaurant. The food and service were great. Portions were large and prices were reasonable. My only criticism is the lighting (lots of bright florescent) in the place makes it feel like a hospital, not a cozy restaurant. I'm definitely going back.
Amazing food with great service and a fun atmosphere. I was very impressed with the quality and portion sizes. I've tried cappuccino's at other restaurants, but this was the first one I've ever liked. Everything from the food to the drinks was of the highest quality, and we will definitely be going back again.
We found this place by happenstance after stopping at the snowball stand. A small Mexican place in a strip mall next to a liquor store is usually a good sign of authentic food. The inside is larger than it appears. We got there just after 5 and the place was pretty empty which was a concern. They had a great variety of dishes, some of which we were not familiar with so the menu was not the standard americanized recipes. They also had like 6 Molcajete options, awesome. The chips were thick and crunchy, and served with both a red and green salsa. The green salsa was fantastic. My wife and I ordered a Molcajete Mary Tierra to split. I got a coffee as well as they had a coffee bar. My son ordered a ceviche, they had a few options there and the waiter suggested a different one but first time trying we decided on the simpler one. My daughter in law ordered a mix burrito with potatoes. The coffee cup was a beautiful set, the coffee was a but weak unfortunately. The food came out, and the portions and presentation were great. First the ceviche was alot, and served with more chips. It was very tasty, a bit different than the type we are used to as there was some red sauce added. We ended up taking two thirds home, an amazing deal. The burrito was massive, she ate just half and a few of the potatoes and was stuffed. The Molcajete was delicious and had such a variety of ingredients, since it was split between 2 we ate most but still took a third of it home. As we started eating the place started filling up with patrons, we found out the place had only been open since January. If we are in the area we will definitely be back, or may just take a trip to try out some more of the menu. Be sure to check them out, and bring a good appetite.
This place is excellent. The food is true to its origins and soooo delicious. Full bar, too!
100% Mexican food, handmade tortillas, desserts and alcoholic beverages, they also cater for events.
You should be eating here. If you love Mexican food (NOT Tex-Mex), if you want to learn about Mexican food, then you should be eating here. The portions are huge, I put the fork next to the chicken tinga (shredded chicken) tostadas for scale. I ate 1 and a half before being full, the 1.5 were breakfast the next day. And the Horchata... made from scratch so you need to have that too. It's a drink, basically hot cocoa without the 'hot' and the cocoa. The kids will love it. We had the birria burrito (as good as my birria). And the divorced eggs. Didn't try those. They also have Chilaquiles so I'll be back for those for breakfast. I'll be back for everything. Even my husband said 'I think I found my new favorite Mexican place' and I can't argue that. I have no Mexican DNA, but I LOVE the food from all regions.
I can't express how much we love this place. If you live in Eldersburg and haven't been here, you are doing yourself a disservice. Everything I've had on this menu will beat the brakes off of any Mexican restaurant around. These are the different tacos we had, and they are filled with so much goodness.
This has become one of our weekly spots to dine in. The service is impeccable, the food never disappoints, and all of the staff is extremely friendly! The tacos are always our go-to. They are cheap, authentic, and always filling. Their ceviche tostados special and margaritas we had tonight were AMAZING (especially the frozen strawberry marg). Please pay them a visit— this is a business in Eldersburg that actually deserves your time and money, and is not just another chain restaurant.
