Really enjoyed my meal here. Got the fajitas and was a generous portion.

Good food, good service. Even when really busy you dont have to wait long. Their gravy for dipping chips is soooo good. Prices are fairly reasonable. Some things are a little pricey. Clean bathroom. Definitely would recommend

I enjoyed their chili Verde. we walked in sat down, order was fast because no other customers were there at the time. it's a very clean place to eat and service was okay. I would return!

This is the best Mexican food I’ve had in a Taqueria in a long time. The pork is super tender delicious The beans were delicious. It was fresh very different from Tracy or Stockton or even in Livermore. All that is the same, but This little place is darn good! my son agreed. my husband agrees hands-down this place is good . You could tell that they love their job because the food is delicious and we were excited to enjoy Mexican food for lunch that wasn’t over bearing with salt not greasy at all! Super fresh and tasty. That’s what they have here we are recommending Cancun restaurant in Manteca give it a try!

A buddy and I stopped here for lunch today and it was another good lunch. He's been here quite often with his girlfriend and I been here about a dozen times. We both agree that we never had a bad meal. Always friendly service.The chips in salsa are fresh. He had chicken salad, and I ordered chicken super burrito with gravy.

The food is so delicious. Everything we have tried there has been great and full of flavor.

I’m so glad I stopped here. The burrito Supreme I had was SO GOOD! I ordered it as a wet burrito with their special house gravy with cheese on top. I’ve had many wet burrito’s but THIS ONE with their special gravy was a home run! The portions are generous. The chips and salsa had great flavor. For my beverage I had a large Jamaica. If you are looking for a good Mexican restaurant, you need to stop by.

Best Mexican food hands down. My family have been supporters for over 20 years of Cancun. Their gravy is the best!!!!! Lovely people who own this they’re now like family… go show them some love
