Friends and family have been eating here at least once a week for years. New owner/chef Felipe has made many noticeable menu improvements and food is better than ever. Homemade salsa is chunky and flavorful and chicken/beef marinades are super tasty.

I usually rate a Mexican style restaurant based on their salsa and margaritas. Both are perfection here. Generous portions and excellent value for the price. The atmosphere is diner friendly. The music isn’t too loud and the staff is friendly.

They are working to improve the building and atmosphere of the restaurant which is already cute and clean. Food was pretty good, but took a long time to come out, and it came out in spurts. Service was slow, they weren’t super busy for a Saturday night, but they seemed short staffed. Everyone was friendly, and we will try it again.

We had to wait a long time for service. They weren’t busy but said that they were short staffed. I’m not sure what was wrong with the margaritas but they didn’t taste right.

Nicely remodeled decor. Slow inaccurate order. 2 dishes came a slow but reasonable time. One of them had a mistake. The 3rd came after another wait and it was wrong. They took it back and in a little while it came back unchanged. They took it a 3rd time and after awhile it came back correct. Too bad. We liked this place previously. My wife hated her salad.

My guest and I visited 03-20-2023 around 7pm. We were greeted right as we walked in the door – I believe the gentleman was the owner. Very friendly and welcoming. We received the same kind of welcome from Nyshara our server whom took care of us. The house lime margarita, on the rocks, was simple, classic and perfect – so good!. I had the Chori Pollo – this is my favorite. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed. Nyshara had a fun sense of humor, and was so efficient. Management…someone tell her, thanks for being so awesome. We had a nice dinner and looking forward to coming back. You got a good thing going here.

Delicious food, great for groups and tapas (small plates). The service was okay, not amazing, but certainly nothing bad. Clean fun atmosphere.

The place was under renovations when me and my girlfriend ate there but the food and the service was outstanding. Would definitely recommend this place!

I really liked the Baja tacos!! friendly, family-owned place. The cook came out to see me enjoy my tacos. My son who doesn’t care for fish enjoyed them too. But he recommends their street tacos. And their salsa–perfect. I’m a lightweight so I get happy when the salsa isn’t too spicy.
