"A very unique mix of cuisines. We ordered the empanadas, wings, tacos and churros. The wings are hands down our new #1 in western MA. Their buffalo is tangy, buttery with a trail of heat. The house made salsas are very good. The tacos were loaded with meat and not lacking any flavor. The accompanying rice and beans were very tasty. The churros were served with a "caramel" that was seemed more of a dulce de leche, regardless of which of the two it was we loved it. One thing we noticed was with the amount of food we ate, we didnt feel weighed down or like we had eaten heavier/greasy foods, which is a very nice change from most restaurants. Our biggest takeaway was the service, all of the staff were very friendly and engaging. Everyone had a positive attitude and it carried the room."

"This restaurant is a hidden gem. It far surpasses a lot of places in the area. There's always new food options being added. They have Italian and Mexican options and they are all delicious and plentiful in size. This place does an amazing job and are so friendly on top of the fantastic food. The restaurant is clearly a labor of love for the owner who clearly puts a lot of time and effort into the specials and the decorations that are always colorful and changing, right down the the beautiful orchids in the margaritas. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a delicious meal."

"The food here is so good and there is a large menu selection. Last time we had the seafood pasta. It was amazing! This time I ordered enchiladas and my husband had the mussels. Both were excellent."

"I was craving birria tacos and this was the only local place that I could find that had them on the menu. My friend ordered the vegetarian burritos since that was the only vegan option. He enjoyed his burritos but since I had asked for my tacos extra crispy and cheese which they were not, I was a bit disappointed. The taste of the tacos and consommé was ok but I would like to try other options next time."

"Just left after an amazing dinner & drinks with friends! Margaritas are THE MOST delicious I’ve ever tasted. Plus theres over 10 or so flavors to choose from. Waitress was very nice & helpful. 100% my GO-TO spot not only for pizza, tacos or pasta but the ENCHILADAS especially!"

"Leni (the owner) was great! Their pizza was perfectly cooked and the calzone we ordered was great too. Dough is really fresh and the sauce made it better. Tacos were made really well and serving sizes were huge. Great selection of Jarritos Mexican sodas. Prices were very reasonable as well. Recommend to anyone looking for a great local Pizzeria/Mexican restaurant."

"Hands down the best wings in western MA. Their buffalo is spicy and buttery. The wings are fantastically dry seasoned if you decide to not have sauce. I will return for a multitude of their dishes but the wings call to me."

"Stopped in for Taco Tuesday. I had the Tinga Tacos and they were really good. Big flavor, and a solid portion. The folks are super friendly ta-boot. Easy spot to come back to."
