“ To begin, this review is based on a catering service not a dine in experience I had with the restaurant. I had an event catered by them at their banquet hall called Babylonia Banquet Hall located in the old K-mart plaza. The owner was very personable, made us comfortable with making sure we got everything we wanted. When deciding on the menu it was an easy process with no issues with my requests. The day of the event the staff arrived on time to set up the buffet, and the service was executed well. No complaints. We got positive feedback from our guests stating that the food was very good with a top favorite being the Molcajete Ranchero. The price was reasonable for the amount of food we received. Overall I would recommend it to friends and family, good service and true authentic Mexican food. Thank you Rodrigo and Mercedes! ”

“ Sorry that we were so hungry that we forgot to take photos BUT everything was delicious!! My husband got the special Shrimp burrito and I got the skirt steak sopes which to my surprise were huge you get 3 and I could only finish 1 and they come in a small half tray. the burrito was great but having rice inside and then as a side was a bit too much and maybe suggesting a different side like a salad might be better. Other than that everything was super flavorful and taste fresh! The Jamaica and Mango Agua Frescas were refreshing! We will most definitely be back and hopefully dine in soon! ”

“ This place is amazing. Took my 4 oldest kids her on Sunday. I’ve been here before and have been telling them for months I wanted to share this special place with them. Boom. We had a great time and the food was fire, but to be honest this time the best part was our server Eddie!!! He stole the show. So nice and pleasant, and it was clear he had a passion to serve us and meet our needs. Eddie you are a shining star and they are lucky to have you. We started with the Super Nachos & drinks, followed by burritos, tacos, and Birria!!! Definitely coming back many times and clearly would recommend this establishment if you’re looking for quality food & Service. ”
