The food was delicious!!!! Tried several items on the menu. Quesabirria tacos were very good. The barbacoa tacos were amazing!

One of the best spots in Lancaster County for delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine. Service is always outstanding and friendly. Don't forget dessert — their flan is sooo yummy!

It was my first time trying quesa birria and I was hooked! We also tried the chicken fajitas and chicken tacos — both were delicious. For dessert we ordered the chocolate flan to go. It was so good!
