I wish I could put a 10 star here. This is the best restaurant in Brookings, this would seem overstatement but it’s not. I came here just to check and they were very welcoming. They created a Mexican vibe inside the restaurant. I would come again and again.

The Chile Colorado with green chili was muy sabor! Thanks to the waiter and chef for substituting green chili, greatly appreciated! Great drinks from horchata, Jarritos, to a nice selection of quality tequila. I also dig the ambiance here, feels like its own stand alone restaurant. ¡Gracias!

Stopped in for a quick lunch! Everything was amazing! Service and food. We had street tacos, which were so flavorful. And Texas cheese burrito, so good. Chips and salsa came lightening fast, drinks refilled so quick. Food came out fast, we were in and out in 25 minutes for a quick wonderful lunch! Bravo! Will definitely come back!
