What People's Say About Place

Parking was a bit of a challenge, but completely worth circling the block a few times. This cozy Mexican restaurant only has about six or seven tables (including one outdoors), giving it a nice, intimate feel. I ordered the Mole con arroz y frijoles, and my daughter had the Huevos con chorizo, arroz y frijoles, which came with freshly made corn tortillas. We also shared a Quesabirria taco, it was decent, though I think it might have been even better if the birria were made with goat. Both of our main dishes were excellent. The mole was rich and flavorful, with just the right balance of spice and sweetness from the chocolate. It’s easy to see why this place has a 4.9 out of 5 rating. We’ll definitely be returning to try more of their dishes!

I had the carne asada nachos. They were some of the best nachos I've had in a while. Great tasting meat, hand made tortilla chips, tasty salsa, good cheese. This place is definitely one of my favorites now. I highly recommend this establishment.

Delicious food! Birria, carne asada plate were very good! I highly recommend this place. My next dish is a menudo.

First the food is very great and delicious. And also, the owners are so generous and hospitable. I asked if there is water, where there was only the bottled water in the fridge, and I was about to pay but the owner was also really generous to just let us have it on the house. If I lived here, I’d definitely come back for sure

The carne asada was . This is authentic so if you don't like chili say no chili. I'm not a spicy person, but the flavor was worth the sting. A little lemon does the trick. The horchata was just as enjoyable.. probably saved my life. Refill mandatory. I love the plates made "de jarro". It's like a little slice of Mexico. Watched some futbol to top it all.

Absolutely delicious, great Mexican food. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a good meal. Very authentic, very fast and good service.

Shout out to thisvMom and Pop Mexican restaurant, Taqueria Rosa & Sul. I was hanging out with m Bff, and we were both craving Mexican food. We decided to check out a local restaurant. We ordered the mixed ceviche, mole traditional, and menudo. Everything was super tasty, and the portions were big. Ceviche: so refreshing, tart and tangy Mole: thevhandmade tortillas were so good, and meat was fall-off the bone tender Menudo: very generous tripe, my bff did not like so much, but more for me. The base soup was mild, but you have the option to add more salt or chilies to taste The owners were so friendly! I will be back to try their pozole next time around.
