Great tasting Mexican dishes taste like authentic home made

The high rating for this place is our first clue. I enjoyed the plate El Marranito Lloron (the crying pig). It's a flavorful plate of slow-cooked pork, onions, and I think serrano and jalapeno peppers in a flavorful sauce with pico de gallo as well. Served with rice, beans, tortillas, and guacamole it's nearly perfect. To top it off I had a bottle of Mexican Coke. This meal was simply excellent as was the service provided by Jose the owner. So far, after six months in Reno, this is the best Mexican food I've had... by a pretty wide margin. One other thing to add: the decor is great, think old school, family-owned Mexican restaurant.

Very nice restaurant with good hospitality. Authentic mexican food. They are open semi late and have some good alternative options. Plenty of parking. Give it a try. They also have a bar area if you just want to come and drink. Very close to other shops in case you are in the area.

My family of four and I loved this place! Authentic, homemade Mexican food and they even had great margaritas! We highly recommend.

This place has been great so far. They passed my wet shrimp burrito test. Normally, if a Mexican restaurant can deliver this dish well, it indicates the rest of the food will be good, it's never failed me. Check it out.
