You can always count on a nice kebab. The person who ordered New England clam chowder liked it very much. the rest of the group had the steak tips and loved the good portions and the sides. The staff handled a medical emergency quietly and efficiently and kudos to the Newton Police Department for sending several officers walking over to help before the ambulance arrived.

This is a hidden gem offering both traditional and unusual Mexican fare. The Birria was delicious, the fajitas offered many sides/sauces, the guac was delicious. The people next to us raved about the salmon. We will be back!
