Testimonials

On 2/22/2026 Christina C. had this to say:
First time ever trying today, permanent choice for Mexican now, can't go anywhere else because it was so good. The service was instant, as soon as I walked in I was helped. The portions are good, the prices even better. Two entrees, a chips and salsa and a small side of queso for 30$ Quality is amazing so much better than any Mexican restaurant I've ever had. I got my food quickly and it was very busy for a Saturday. I absolutely LOVED the hand painted walls of the restaurant, lots of bright colors. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, I will definitely be back again next weekend!
