" Lovely little place! We stumbled upon it while exploring Kinston. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The tacos al pastor tasted just like I had them in Mexico, which made my heart so happy. Service was quick, which was a plus since we were on a time crunch. I recommend the churros for dessert—they're to die for! " (*Curated Review*)

" A solid choice for Mexican food in Kinston! The ambiance was casual and perfect for family dining. My chicken enchiladas were creamy and delightful. The service was friendly, but there was a minor mix-up in our order. However, they quickly resolved it, and the overall experience was pleasant. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent food but nothing spectacular. I ordered a vegetarian dish that was flavorful but portion sizes were a bit small compared to other places I've been to. The vibe was casual, which I appreciated, and the service was friendly but a bit slow. I might give it another go just to try a different dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent Mexican food but not very authentic. I tried the chili relleno, and while it was tasty, it felt more like Tex-Mex than authentic Mexican cuisine. The service was efficient, but the atmosphere was a bit loud for my taste. I might explore other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" A whimsical dining experience! The decor is vibrant and engaging, just like the food. I highly recommend the enchiladas, which were bursting with flavor. The prices are reasonable too! The only downside was the wait time; it took a while to get everything. But I didn't mind it so much—great food is worth waiting for. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about my visit. While the food was decent and relatively affordable, it didn't leave a lasting impression. Service was okay, but the ambiance felt a bit lacking. I'll probably look for something a bit more exciting next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall a good experience. I enjoyed the salsa and chips while waiting for my meal. My burrito was delicious but somewhat heavy on the rice compared to the other fillings. The service was decent, but I did have to wait a little longer than expected. The ambiance was friendly and inviting. " (*Curated Review*)
