    FANTASTIC!!! Only suggestion would be to have pictures of the items with a list of ingredients, especially the specials board.

    I'll start with the grocery store component. The place is super clean and modern looking. It's a small market but packed with with lots of things you just won't find many other places in the area. We came for plantain and oxtails. They also had short ribs and an assortment of other meats. Everything was fresh and reasonably priced and business was booming! I will 100% be back for the grocery store.

    Now the restaurant I will not buy from again which is a shame. I was the only one who stood at the cash register for several minutes and no one came out. I see a little button so I push it and still no one comes out. More people come in line now and a woman walks over to start helping. I place my order and take a seat to wait. Within 5 minutes everyone behind me was helped and I am still there waiting. After 15 minutes I finally get my food. Heads up - they have a salsa bar that includes like 8-10 yummy looking salsas plus guacamole, lime, and pickled onion/carrots/jalapeños, etc. When you dine in you are free to eat those but when you take out you can only get a predetermined green and red salsa or you have to pay extra. Seems a bit silly to me but okay. I ordered a horchata (large was $2.33 so great price and it was yummy!) and an al pastor torta ($6.99). Unfortunately there was hardly any meat on my torta at all. Not even one serving spoon full so I was very disappointed. Maybe they had run out? I will say that the bread was fresh and soft but I couldn't even taste the meat and am including pics too show how little meat there was. For these reasons I won't return to eat.

    I just thought this was another grocery store or Super Mercado. Didn't know they had such a nice dining room with such great food. I had the Chile rellano. It had a different spin on it, but I liked it. Wanted tamales but they evidently don't have them every day. I'll be back!

    Located in an unassuming strip mall, this charming shop doubles both as a Grocery as well as an awesomely authentic Mexican taqueria, so I am very glad that Kristina M suggested this as the 2nd stop on the UYE Tamale Tour she organized!

    The location has plenty of parking and it was hopping busy on the Saturday mid-morning when our group of 6 arrived. We couldn't find any spare tables to sit and eat, but the turnover is quick and by the time we paid for our food, there were some empty chairs available. Staff were super friendly and helped us despite being extremely busy!

    I split a chicken Tamale 6-pack with x2 others and my Tamale was delicious. Loved how fresh and creamy the corn covering was. The chicken was also well seasoned. There were some other things that I'd like to try as well on their menu and definitely plan to return. What slightly sucked tho is that I paid as much for my real fruit juice (aka no fake stuff) as the Tamale! How can you attempt to eat/ drink healthy when the good real stuff costs so much??? (Ok, rant over)

    I also did some shopping at the grocery- picked up some beautiful, ripe guavas and also Yelper Daniel C recommended the sugared dry fruit - I got fig and papaya - super delicious if a bit too sugary! I really wanted to pick up the freshly made chorizo from their butcher section but their version has both beef+pork so decided to give it a skip. I also spotted a lot of other great stuff in the grocery like dried sassafras & hibiscus flowers and then some stuff that I just wasn't totally sure about - it's always cool to encounter foodstuffs that you haven't eaten/ experimented with previously.

    I will definitely return!

    Wow! Wow! Wow!  Get ready to have your socks knocked off. This place is AH-MAZE-INNNNG! This place some killer food.  

    I have been in Mississippi for 8 months and it's been one disappointment After another when it comes to Mexican restaurants. Every other Mexican restaurant claims to have authentic Mexican food-NOPE! It isn't.

    This place here... this is the best Mexican food I have tasted since moving to MS.
