Yiyi took care of our family since the very first moment we showed up. Very attentive and very kind, not like previous times that we have to ask to refill our drinks or chips. Overall we always come here since we live about 15 minutes and the ambiance is really good and safe. Good as always amazing.

Everything, for the most part, was good. I didn’t love the refried beans as they were a bit on the bland side.

The birrias here for to die for. We were seated immediately and the food came out in less than 10 minutes. All of the food was delicious and our server Laura made sure we had everything we needed.

I gave this restaurant 4 stars only because I’ve been here many times and have only had great service previous to this last visit. This most recent visit we had the WORST service. I had to have someone track down our server several times just to get our drink and food orders placed. Our server never came to refill drinks or even ask if we needed anything. Food was cooked well and delicious as usual but something about the bad service left a bad taste in my mouth
