    Had been looking around for some great Mexican food and this is the olace. Not everything you find at other places with 4 page menus but the food we did get was really good. I had the Las Carnitas dish and looking forward to coming back and trying the Skirt steak tacos.

    The food was excellent. Read article in Cary Magazine and wanted to try it. It's my new favorite Mexican food place now. Was able to get my food without cilantro which is almost unheard of in a Mexican restaurant. They were able to accommodate my request. The guacamole was wonderful. The pozole was very good also. One in our party got the mole enchiladas and they were excellent. Service was really good and the owner/manager came by our table to be sure were well taken care of. We were! We'll come here again for sure!
