What our guests are saying

Wow! Some of the best halal Mexican I’ve had in a while. The green sauce with chicken and lamb was to die for. Tried both green and red sauce enchiladas; green had more flavour and was more satisfying but both were delicious. So many menu items, you’ll find something you like. The salsas and pickled onions on the sides are very spicy so be careful. The service is friendly and great and prices are fair. Can’t wait to return!

Really nice lamb BBQ. We had the lean and the rib meat. Both were excellent but I would go for just lean next time. It had a good amount of flavor without the rubbery bits. The selection of salsas was nice as well. We got the guacamole and cactus the large size but it was quite a lot! We will definitely be back if we are in the area again.

I sure recommend this place, if you want to taste real Mexican food. This place is fire. The menu pretty extensive by the way. offers lamb and is very tasteful. I could say I feel like I travel in one hour to Texcoco Mexico,and enjoy my self with this delicious plate of barbacoa. I will definitely come back. I ordered the plate and it comes with tortillas,consomé(soup that came out of the lamb while cooking) delicious.
