Amazing service and authentic as you can get Hispanic food. Prices can't be beat and the employees are very friendly. We try something. New each time, and so far, we haven't eaten anything we haven't absolutely lived.

My husband just picked up out food and we live a good 15 to 20 minutes from this place the food was still super hot and wonderful the kids where so happy with their meals and kept saying that we need to go there more. I was so happy with everything wasn't over run with grease, everything looked as wonderful as it tasted very fast for six meals! So happy will definitely be going here more!

Cute little restaurant in Sparta. This is by far the best Mexican food I have eaten in Missouri and I've tried all of them. Authentic, delicious, great service, we will be returning again and again.

Generous portions especially on the Combination #12 I got. Chips were fresh and came in a wagon basket my daughter loved. Salsa was tasty but not too spicy. Service was quick and attentive. I'll definitely be stopping by again.

We have eaten from here twice in the past week and both experiences were excellent. Our first time, we took our food to go. There were 4 dinner orders and it was all hot and bagged up in about 5 minutes! Everything was delicious and the portions were great. We went back with some friends a week later and tried some more dishes. Again, everything was delicious and we all had leftovers. I highly recommend this restaurant! Update: We've probably eaten here 20 more times since this original review. We love our taste of Oaxaca, Mexico! Always fast, fresh, and authentic!
