Went with my family. Found the food a little salty for our taste. Overall it was a good experience.

The service was great! We were disappointed by the food, especially the molcajete; it was more like a chopped chicken and onion soup (swimming in a red ranchero sauce). So weird and very different from any molcajete we've ever had. Definitely not worth $22. The quesabirria tacos were decent; the consomme could've used more flavor. I suggest you look at the pictures on the board at the entrance (which may or may not be an accurate depiction of the food) before deciding to eat here. Oh, iced tea and soda are $2.99 each for adults AND kids.

We enjoyed this place. They were busy when we got there. We had been to an archery tournament so there was 12 of us and they handled us like a champ. My only complaint would be they didn't refill drinks we had to go up front to ask someone to come fill them. But other than that the place was clean. Food was great. Employees were practicing all appropriate safety precautions. If we are back in Cadiz we would eat there again.

Not at all fancy but the food is out of sight! I've eaten here a number of times with parties as small as 2 and as large as 10 and its always great. The prices are very reasonable and the service is top notch.

If you're looking for some delicious Mexican food that won't break the bank, look no further than this spot! The carnitas sopes are absolutely excellent - flavorful and filling, with just the right amount of carnitas. And if you're on a budget, the cheap burritos and 99 cent tacos on Taco Tuesdays are definitely worth checking out. Some of their burritos are big enough to share, but you might not want to - they're that good! As for the tacos, they come with your choice of meat and are topped with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. Perfect for a quick dinner. The atmosphere is laid-back and casual, with friendly staff who are happy to make recommendations if you're not sure what to order. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. And while the decor isn't anything fancy, it's clean and well-maintained. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking for tasty, affordable Mexican food. Whether you're in the mood for sopes, burritos, or tacos, this place has got you covered.
