Enjoyed the chicken enchiladas with red sauce and beans. Yummy, comfort food. The red sauce is rich and flavorful and the shredded chicken breast really fresh and delicious.

I LOVE this place. The best mexican food you can eat... When ever I return to the bay area, we have to eat here. You should think about building another restaurant in the modesto area. Everyone will love it. more

First off, you use to get a salad with your meal to start but now there is no salad. As for the entree, from what I can tell they changed there enchilada sauce which was the... more
