A hidden gem in Jackson. Authentic Mexican food with large servings. I would recommend the carne asada and chilaquiles.

Amazing food. Very reasonably priced. Quick service and I see why it is a favourite amongst the Latin speaking crowd here. Quite authentic for a resort town. Extremely pleased!

Delicious Mexican restaurant with outstanding homemade salsa Verde and rojo

The dining room and first impression may be a little understated, but I was blown away with my delicious meal. Super fresh ingredients, so flavorful and a large portion. My husband had a burrito and I had 3 tacos. We were both thrilled and now see this place as having THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD in Jackson. SO GOOD!!

Very authentic Mexican restaurant. Filled restaurant during dinner tonight. We knew we hit a gem when the menu was mainly in Spanish, thank you Google translate! Food prepared right in restaurant window. We would come back when in town. Bano is in a store room. Not the nicest restroom.

Absolutely perfect! Great price for the amount of food you get, awesome service. It’s extremely authentic northern Mexican cuisine. We couldn’t be happier!

Yum yum. This tiny Mexican joint is great. What this place lacks in decor and frills, it makes up in cheap delicious eats. We’ve never been dissatisfied with the food or service. Get a Mexican coke and prepare for a delicious, fresh, piping hot meal.

Was looking for something more authentic and less touristy. This place did not disappoint. The tacos were full of meat, everything came out very fast. If you’re looking for a “where the locals go” this seems to be the spot. Very affordable for a tourist town.

Who's not rating this at least 4 stars? Ok, 5 may be steep but that's how I roll and their rating should be better.
Things to note:
- the salsa (verde) is noticeably hot and I usually get 4 out of 5 at Thai restaurants. Don't come if you're a wimp.
- portions are huge! Prices seemed steep but you don't normally get 5 enchiladas plus rice and beans and a random side of sour cream just 'cause. Plus, you know, they have to pay rent in Jackson Hole/Teton Village
- They don't have stuff like ground beef red enchiladas (what I was in the mood for) but I was surprisingly thrilled with my green chicken ones. Plus they have many options for guaraches
- get whatever is in that cast iron skillet. It looks/smells delightful. I would've, but my heart was set on cheese and sauce
- they have beer: just Corona and Modelo. But a Corona 40 and a glass to pour it in seems quite popular.
- the clientele is local and Spanish-speaking, but the waiters know enough English to get your monolingual self in and out.

Good food and service. Authentic Mexican. Nothing fancy. Bottled sodas. Several Mexicans eating here. Always a good sign. Red sauce is very hot. Rice was excellent. Large portions.
