Small Mexican restaurant in Fresno in shaw and N. West avenue. Menu has most of the Mexican dishes. Food is not too spicy, I wish it had a little bit more spice. They have about 8 or 10 tables to sit. Nice family friendly place. Staff are courteous and fast.

I come here every Tuesday, and it’s become my go-to spot for tacos. They’re always delicious — full of flavor, fresh, and satisfying. The salsa is on point too, with just the right amount of heat and a ton of flavor. Best part? The prices are super reasonable. Quality food that doesn’t break the bank. Highly recommend!
