When I want authentic food and big flavor, I will go back for the fresh guacamole and great service. Their menu offers several dishes I have not seen at other places, like the Tacos Norteños.
Great food and reasonable prices. Friendly staff and very attentive.
The place, inside, is clean and bright and colorful, and the food here is some of the best mexican food you can find locally. Certainly the best of any I can think of. I had their seafood pasta - the squid and octopus were fresh and cooked to perfect tenderness, which is a huge testament to the cook's skills. Their house salsa is also wonderfully fresh, and their staff is friendly. Please try Clamatos. It's a family owned business, and the food is GREAT. You will NOT regret it.
They are always on point we love going here the food was amazing they are friendly great service
