I've always passed by this area but I didn't realize that there was a taco place and la michoacana here! My friend and I stopped by for lunch to try their food. When we walked inside we realized that both places were combined inside which was cool. It was very spacious with many tables and places to sit. We came on a Tuesday for lunch, it wasn't that busy. I ordered a Carne Asada plate and chose flour tortillas. It also came with a Jarritos drink too, you can choose which flavored drink you want from the fridge by the counter. My friend got a pupusa, and carne asada (beef) and chicken tacos. The carne asada was phenomenal. I was really surprised at the portion of beef that came with my plate, it was huge. Not only that, but it was flavored and seasoned so well. It was savory and tasty. T

I ate at this place with 2 of my co-workers. We arrived around 11:37 AM. This is one of those places where you place your order at the counter, pay for it, take a number for your table, and then seat yourself. One of my co-workers ordered chips and dip and sopes. My other co-worker ordered fish tacos. I ordered 1 pupusas with carnitas, 1 baleadas especiales with beef tongue, and 1 baleadas with egg. The total amount of time for our food to arrive was 13:59 minutes. The interior of the restaurant does have some wear and tear here and there, but nothing really bad. As for the bathroom, its a single person bathroom that I'd say was "Walmart bathroom" quality (though everything worked). But overall, those things didn't bother me. As for the food itself, we all really enjoyed our resp

I ordered 4 pupusas and arrived 30 minutes later and the lady said they hadn’t even stated working on them yet. Restaurant wasn’t full. Lady said she could start working on them now and it’d be about 15-30 min. Didn’t have them time to wait.

Carne asada tacos and the BEST darn shrimp 🍤 cocktail I've ever had. This place is awesome and brought me back for more. Not the biggest place in Cleveland but extremely good authentic Mexican food. If you're near the south side of town, you need to stop by for lunch or dinner. 2 thumbs WAY UP 👍🏼👍🏼

I have officially been virtually trasported to honduras!!!! I had the pastelitos and they are phenomenal!!! The mix of flavors and explendid presentation are just BRILLIANT! I am surprisingly impressed by this little humble restaurant in the middle of Cleveland Tennessee. Not in my wildest dreams I thought I could find something so authentic so delicious in the middle of nowhere. It is noticeable The pride they take in the delivery and the taste of their dishes. Everything was served at the right temperature fresh and with a smile in their face. I wish I had better words to describe the taste of every single item that made up a dish... from the tomato relish to the slaw & the sauces, to the rice & the meats as! well as their impecable attention to detail! The "baladas" art of vegetarian d
