“ Oh my gosh! Such a cute place in a random strip mall. There's two counters - one for food and the other for drinks. Plenty of seating options from high table, bar, to booths. It's not a regular Mexican joint. Totally recommend the birria plate and to try a drink. Those drinks are SO pretty. ”

“ I frequent this spot often, and am never disappointed. The food, decor, service and atmosphere are always incredible. The food is always flavorful, and I'm especially grateful for the many vegetarian options. The Margaritas and other cocktails are not only beautiful, but delicious. A must have in the Sanford area. ”
“ As soon as you walk in you're greeted by fun music, a stunning atmosphere and great smells! You order your food at the front before sitting down. The staff was very nice and helpful. I ordered the Birria ramen. This was the second time I've tried it and it did not disappoint. If you're looking for traditional food then order something else as this is a little non traditional but still amazing to me as a noodle lover. I hear the tacos are wonderful which I will try the next time. P.S. - Look how hot that food is ”
