Simple, amazing central Mexican Cuisine. They have been closed for a while to solve problems with the smoke released from their Mesquite grill. Should be reopening by the end of Mar 2018. It doesn't get much better than this if you want great food at a reasonable price. Always rated the 2nd or 3rd best restaurant in San Antonio. This the first place our family wants to go when then come to visit. And the last place before they leave! We love it.
