The best place we have found since we started our Europe vacation. Went twice, a group of 8, and all of us enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. They also accepted our late sitting with a full menu. Great food and music, and they make you feel at home.

I have spent over a year looking for good Mexican food in Milan and have struggled at other places with frozen chicken, runny guacamole “sauce”, and other mishaps. This is the first place I am have found that is authentic, homemade and tastes like love. Worth every penny, I have been back several times and tried multiple dishes. I’ll be back again!

Food is excellent. Humble family owned business. The son is an excellent waiter and the mother is a gracious host. We went there on Monday to dine in but they were closing. They still tended to us. We decided to order out and take it to our hotel. They gave us extra food and complementary desserts. Because of the kind gesture, we decided to go again on Wednesday. This time I took my entire family a (total of eight people). We received excellent service and they gave us souvenir gifts as a token of their appreciation. We Will definitely go here again.

We stopped in here for lunch today. Needed to take a break from pizza and pasta and were very happy to find this excellent restaurant with authentic tasting cuisine. Everything was fresh and made from scratch. We shared a pitcher of amazing sangria and had the fajitas with chicken and steak. Everything was delicious ! Family owned and family run and some of the nicest people you would ever want to meet! Highly highly recommend!
