I speak from personal experience on both sides of the border when I say that walking through the door is like stepping off a midwestern street into a mom and pop restaurant in a small town in Mexico. Everything about this place - the vibrant colors, the very plain fixtures, the hand-written signs, the mostly-latino clientele, the cooks wearing old-fashioned aprons - tells the culture-shocked patron that they are not in Kansas City any more. About the time you think you are certain that you have made an enormous mistake, your gorditas arrive. One bite and you don't care about anything else - you know you will be coming back.

When I get food here, I feel like someone's grandma made me a delicious dinner. Don't even know what it's called, because the times we've been here, there's been a little bit of a language barrier, but the meat with the red sauce is so VERY good! Everything we've had has been delicious, except--and the nice lady working tried to warn me against this, but I just HAD to try some of everything--except the pork grinders. THAT I remember vividly! An aqcuired taste, perhaps?? And these they don't have all the time. And now I know why . . .Anyway, if you like authentic Mexican food, this is your new favorite restaurant.
