Este lugar está a vista de carretera, tiene estacionamiento en la parte de atrás, es pequeño pero tiene varias mesas dentro y fuera del lugar y cuentan con baños. La comida muy rica, me gusto el menudo, tiene buen sabor y no tiene mal olor que también es muy importante, tiene tortillas recién hechesitas, el guacamole tiene también muy buen sabor, los platillos tienen buen tamaño, su precio es adecuado, el personal amable y aunque el lugar es concurrido está tranquilo, la verdad está comida si tiene un sabor auténtico mexicano.

Seems like new owners again, but I gave them a try and was not disappointed. Cheese enchiladas verde 10/10. Comes with a side of rice and beans. Carne asada wet green burrito, 10/10. Generous serving Shrimp and fish soup, super good and flavorful. Huge shrimp 10/10 Service is always quick with a phone order and even if I have place an order in person the wait is not bad. The establishment is clean and ambience is like home. Limited parking in lot and on street.

This lovely and unassuming joint in Cypress Park doesn't look like much but once you're greeted by the friendly waitress and then you see 3 or more families from the neighborhood walk in behind you, you know you're in for a treat. My wife and I started off with their delicious Guacamole and then we each got the 3 Taco plate. So good and very affordable! The rice and beans here are like no other and the meats and veggies in the tacos are the standard but delicious. Tierra Caliente is a region of Mexico that I had yet tasted and like every region Mexico I've had so far, it's delicious. I feel very fortunate to live here and be able to taste so many different regions of Mexico all in one place! Thank you Tierra Caliente!

Had a work event right by this restaurant, so several of us walked over. And oh my goodness, everyone was highly satisfied. Bean and cheese burrito, chicken tostada, Chile relleno and chicken taquitos were all really great! Service was fairly fast considering how packed it was and staff was friendly, especially the young lady who was at the register. Unfortunately, they only had one register, so felt like that took the longest. Ohhh and i's cool they have several TVs that had the Olympic games on.

This little whole in the wall is a diamond in the rough. We needed a place close by to an event we were going to and this was the place. The outside is rather unassuming but the food was nothing short of amazing. The waitress who served us gave us recommendations that were spot on. The menu, while not large, had a great variety. Must haves: guacamole; cucumber-lemon agua fresca.
