Great service, everything was served with a smile. The food was excellent. There are lots of choices on the menu which made deciding what to have a challenge. But everything we got was great.

Maybe, just maybe the best Mexican dish I've ever had. The dinner for the three of us was simply the best. I had the Plato Mexicana, which I highly recommend. My wife has the pork carnitas, and our friend had the chicken carnitas. It was all so delicious. Meals were served up with a friendly smile and warm service. A delightful enchanting evening with an old friend that was meeting us tonight as we both were passing through this charming little community.

Pretty good new Mexican restaurant in Hampton. The servers were pretty attentive, prices reasonable, and food was really good. They have Pepsi though instead of coke, which it’s a little unusual for a Mexican restaurant. Also, the salsa was pretty runny. I prefer a thicker salsa. But overall great experience. Way better than the old place that used to occupy this space.

So I'm not gonna lie I'm kinda fat but that's because I know food pretty good, I went here before and got the Carnitas Burrito with chicken, it was so good that the next time I was in the area I went out of my way to get it again. Just today after being out of the area for like 6 months I went back and got it again, except I got 2 this time and ate both in one sitting. Now that's a flavorful burrito 10/10. I will be back again, Hampton is now in my mind "The town with the burrito I like". Keep on keeping on.
