This is the most amazing Mexican food in the valley. Every bite was hand crafted with love and care, from the hollowed out pineapple I was served my pina colada in, to the handmade guacamole I loved, to the delicious fish tacos and flan that rounded out an absolutely perfect meal, I was delighted by the food as much as the bill! Reasonable prices for extraordinary food service and environment, hands down my favorite Mexican food in Ashland!

This was our first time visiting and definitely coming back when we are in the area again. It was during quiet time when we arrived. The host/owner was friendly and greeted us and let us pick our table. We ordered two plates of chicken flautas with rice and beans. My stepson ordered a burrito plate. Everything was delish and reasonably priced.

Very nice people who obviously really care about their customers. Delightful attitudes, tasty food and served hot. Generous portions too. They offer whole beans for those who don't want to eat lard and if you want a hotter salsa than normal, just ask and they'll bring it on out.

Some of the best Mexican food my wife and I have ever had. Hot, tastes great, lots of it. We almost always take home half our meal for a second meal at home. My experience of their service over the years is that, if I act cold, they just might respond cold. But if I'm friendly and talkative, they are very friendly and social. We have been eating there for years now and always have a good experience.
