We got carne asada nachos & burrito. Food was fresh, well seasoned & delicious. The green salsa was a fan favorite. Staff was friendly.

Great food, drinks, atmosphere, and peeps! You can always tell when food is made with love and passion. This is no exception. My favorite is the pork chimichanga with Chile Verde. If the food isn't enough, the vibe and the neighborhood it's nestled in, is straight out of a Normal Rockwell painting!

I was excited to see a restaurant going into this little spot in Old Town Sherwood. We have been here several times and all the food we have tried so far has been good. It's nice that they have outside seating because it is small inside. There was only one time we had to wait extremely long for our food but again, this is a small place so I'm surprised they keep up with the crowds. If you are in town I recommend stopping by.

We had dinner here during the Sherwood Wine Walk and it hit the spot before tasting more wine. The menu is straight forward and the pricing is very reasonable and it was filling. The outdoor seating was perfect for a sunny day and inside is yellow and bright with lots of colorful decor. You order at the counter, pay, and then get your food sent to your table but you have to bus yourself. They were busy but the staff were all friendly and the food came fast. The chips were thin and crispy, the perfect vessel for the flavorful salsa and guac (+$5). I got the Al Pastor burrito and my friend got the Al Pastor and Chicken tacos. And bonus she's gluten free and said that they had the best corn tortillas she's had. It was very soft and hot dry and crumbly. We both loved the pineapple with the Al Pastor. Come check them out and enjoy a margarita and yummy Mexican food!

A super cute taco shop to satisfy your cravings. You can't find an $8 margarita anywhere that gets its job done unless you're at Araceli's Cocina. I love how the restaurant is clean and the staff were kind. I wasn't a fan of the veggie tacos as I thought they were bland and unseasoned, but I'm assuming that the meat options are better because it was very busy during the evening. Cute back patio, too.

Located on a corner with lovely landscaping sits a great little cafe. With exterior dining for 45 & interior dining for about 14 or so, with very friendly staff. The Mrs & I chose to enjoy the beautiful weather & sat outside to enjoy our meal of tacos & chimichanga. I got the Al Pastor tacos. Three smokey, sweet roast pork tacos that had broiled pineapples on top. A combination that I found refreshing & wonderful. While I was busy devouring my plate of food, the Mrs was digging into her shredded beef chimichanga with salsa. Good food & very reasonably priced.

Local owners doing a phenomenal job of breathing more life into our historic downtown. They are positive, kind and just all Around awesome people! They have been open a week so far and we have been here twice already. Food is pretty good. Love their green salsa, breakfast burritos (Sunday Only) and can't wait for their liquor license comes through because beer and margaritas are coming soon!! Love the fresh, clean and welcoming location. If you live In Sherwood, you have to check it out.
