Omg omg omg. Im Mexican, my wife is a picky white lady. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. If you want authentic Mexican, priced fairly, food that will have you coming back...this is the place . The owner comes out, checks how your food was. Wow. Truly authentic, truly Mexican hospitality. Hungry or not, you will leave ready for a nap that’s for sure .

Staff is so sweet and inviting and they have great delicious food! Small place to eat but also can take out. Location kind of hidden but it is next to moline police station.

I had the green Chilaquiles and side of steak, very reasonably priced (APRX 10), I also recommend asking for the spicy red sauce they have in the back it added a ton of flavor. Be advised, that when you enter the main door it will throw you off, it seems you are in wrong place (kitchen area), but just make a quick right and you will see the seating area. Overall I recommend to try. PS. Horchata was good as well and they have handmade tortillas!!

This place reminded me of a restaurant back on Mexico. It’s not a luxurious place but very humble. My boyfriend and I enjoyed our meals. I had the steak and quesadillas with rice and beans and a salad and guacamole on the side. The beat part was getting homemade tortillas with the meal. I also had a Jamaica flavored drink. If you’re in Moline, IL I recommend to stop by and enjoy a delicious meal.
