“ Thank you, beautiful Alandra, for the wonderful service, as far as the kitchen chef is concerned, in one word I will say everything PERFECT. Thank You Compa Frank ”
“ Frank is the most welcoming owner! He really cares about every single plate that is served. You can catch him cooking up plates at all three of his restaurants. All run by members of his family - including his son and his wife! Five stars aren't enough! ”
“ 6/2/24 Update: It's been a while since we last visited. We've visited again & this time with my brother. We wanted to treat him. We've heard recommendations concerning the mex sushi. We tried it for the 1st time this time around. Let me tell you...YUMMMMM!!!! It didn't disappoint. Our kiddos had regular fries, nuggets & burger, fries. I had 3 tacos de lengua (tongue tacos), my hubby had the asada quesadilla & he chose to add rice with beans. My brother had the al pastor quesadilla on its own (though they added a mini lettuce pile). We got & shared a California roll among us 3 adults. Again we don't come often cuz the total tab was a lot for a family of 5 (See pic with receipt). This time around we got to chat, interact & meet the actual Compa Frank (owner). He is such a down to earth guy, super friendly, funny, makes you feel like family. He had a saying he'd tell every table in Spanish as he was going around, "the food we make is bad, but at least we make it from the heart. And as long as you leave here with a smile." 10/14/23: My family and I are so happy to have found this place locally. I've previously read in a review that it's a hidden gem, well I agree. It really is a hidden gem. The food is incredible. The atmosphere awesome! They have 2 TV's playing sports. We went on a Saturday afternoon. Their cuisine is Mexican food & Mexican style sushi. The food is delicious. When dining in you'll get salsa & chips. The salsa was okay, not much flavor. Not spicy at all either. They do have a children menu part on the main menu. It is a bit pricey but it's worth it. We ordered a main menu item & had rice with beans added. The total was pricey. We don't visit often because of the price but a once in a while visit is worth it. ”

“ Food is amazing. I had the franks roll. Wife had the tacos. I always like recommending this place and I always have people say the love it too. ”
“ I had a wet burrito. It was a nice large portion. The waitress was not over baring or forgetful as it was very busy. It was busy but we weren't forgotten. Food came pretty quick. Wasn't super noisy so you can talk and hear each other when talking. And I can't just can't get over how busy they were and how professional, prompt, nice, attention to detail when drinks were needed. ”
