What our guests are saying
First visit I fell in love with their barbacoa tacos and champurrado. Second time here I wanted to try their quesabirria and it was really good: big,cheesy and great amount of meat. The broth that comes with them didn’t disappoint. So far this place became my favorite Mexican restaurant in Salem! You can also find a mini Mexican market and bakery, everything here 👌

First time here. The food was fantastic and would highly recommend coming. Was interesting to find the other half of the restaurant was a bakery, deli, meat market. But our server was very attentive and friendly. Will be back to try other menu items.

I loved this place. Everything is made fresh and you can taste it. Portions are large enough to share. You won't be disappointed.
