Lived in lafayette 16 years, mexican places come and go. This one stays for a reason. Awesome food and service. Try the steak tacos with a side of cactus or the huge nacho supreme. I bet you have never had better unless your momma was from Mexico.

My husband loves the tacos so much he insisted we take a ride on the Harley just for me to try them. Lafayette is 60 miles away!
