Best quesabirria I've had in the last 5 years! Flavor, price, and presentation is worth stopping in for.

Went in around 3/4 pm on Mother's Day. Not super busy but the crowd started rolling in once we got our drinks and were ordering. Super greatful for the time we got there haha. Drinks were really good, not too strong but tasteful. Lots of soecials for weekdays, lunch and dinner. Only downside is you do have to separately pay for dressings/ toppings . Food was great came out fast and hot. Would definitely come back sooner than later lol

I’m from New Mexico and just moved to Laurel. Ives tried 3 restaurants and OMG the food comes very very close. Only missing Hatch chili lol it’s a NM chili. Thanks for reminding me of home.

We stopped here on our way from Tuscaloosa to Hattiesburg and oh my goodness I’m so glad we did! Our margaritas took awhile (they weren’t busy at all) but otherwise the service was fantastic. All of our food came out quickly and it was delicious! Excellent salsa and cheese dip. I tried the Tijuana chicken (10/10) and my husband got the dinner combo with a chicken pupusa and chicken empanada. Y’all. They were SO GOOD. The empanada was so crispy and lightly fried. The pupusa came with slaw and a red sauce. So delicious, will probably order that next time. (10/10). They also have their own hot sauces, served in the cutest containers with little lids and spoons. The reddish orange one is HOT. But so good!!

We were looking for a Sunday night dinner place and this was our answer! I’m glad we chose this over other places, I’ve never had pupusas before and was very happy with them. Service is quick and it’s very good for families and groups. Delicious food.
