The flavors transport me straight to authentic Mexican street food, with every bite-from the carne asada burrito to the chile relleno-bursting with rich, traditional taste that's rare to find around here. The warm, friendly service from the family running the counter and the cozy, unpretentious atmosphere make each visit feel like a genuine culinary treat worth savoring again and again.

An authentic Mexican family-owned eatery in a hidden food court served up an amazing carne asada burrito and flavorful dishes like beef tacos, carnitas burritos, and chili relleno, with excellent service and a cozy ambiance that made it a favorite spot for delicious and affordable Mexican fare in Kona.
