So the food is amazing. Just be prepared..it is REALLY authentic. I know I know... You're thinking "Dude. I love authentic". No. This is AUTHENTIC. And I mean that I'm a great way.

Moving my daughter in to BC, I thought we would try some Mexican food , good choice, right down the street from the BC campus ! Small place but pleasant ; food was fresh and tasty . When going back to BC I will certainly stop in again fir them delicious food ! Enchiladas were great! Burrito was excellent , according to Victoria . 😁

The enchiladas and tamales are also good. Their guacamole and hot sauce are tasty additions to your food as well. I've eaten here many times and
