I just got takeout enchiladas and churros for lunch. The chicken in the enchiladas was super dry and tortillas seemed a little old, but otherwise the flavor was pretty good, albeit with zero heat. The churros were good and they came with a scoop of ice cream. Service was super quick and the staff was friendly. Good option for a casual lunch or dinner, but not somewhere that will really impress.

Good service and atmosphere but I wasn’t impressed with the food I got. I ordered the “pregnant donkey” and with a name and the price that it had, one might assume it’s a really big burrito but it was average. Also, there was something really off with the taste. It was edible but honestly I probably wouldn’t go back for food.

Wish we had found this place sooner. Server was awesome. The chips & salsa were really good. Husband got the torta and really liked it. Chicken fajitas were great, enough for a second meal at home. Rest of our party got street tacos and cheese enchiladas. Everything was great. Definitely recommend.

Arturo might be the single best waitperson I’ve encountered in my long life. From his welcoming “sit wherever you like” to the way he effortlessly handled six almost simultaneous tables (one featuring the woman no one can please), he alone was enough to make this a repeat destination for me.

We came here for happy hour. Margs and beer were $3, but the food choices were sub par. We were never serviced chips and salsa, which should be standard. We both ordered the 3 street tacos. They only come with meat. No fix-ins. They have a salsa bar and there they have four salsas, onions, tomatoes and cilantro. No cheese. If you ask for cheese for the tacos, it is an additional $2 charge. Parking is limited. Next time, we will choose somewhere else.

The fresh fried chips were so good with the homemade guac And queso that we were literally so good we were scooping around the crevices in the dish to get the remaining bits on. By the time the main dishes came out we were pretty full but i was still stoked to eat it the next day! I definitely recommend this restaurant very highly even if I feel like I just gained 15 pounds and need to be rolled everywhere for the next month

My favorite place to grab great Mexican food. This gem has a wonderful variety of delicious options. I think I have tried everything on the menu during the pandemic. However, one of the most charming aspects of eating at the restaurant is the salsa bar, that has a variety of sauces, and toppings to add to your meal.

Food was so yummy. Light crispy chips and fresh salsa. I really liked the queso. We had molcajete which was really good for sharing and we had leftovers. The flan was good too. My boyfriend loved the churros. We had some octopus too. Really good service. Definitely will go back, good prices too. We went for date night 🙂

The only issue with this restaurant is the overpricing for the amount of food that they give you and the food could be more flavorful. I had ordered a chicken quesadilla when I picked it up It was swimming in chicken juice. As if I want to soggy quesadilla lol

I ordered a huevos rancheros and got SLOP as a result – no eggs, potatoes, or anything. Just cold rice, beans, and pile of discusting chorizo. Took one bite and threw the rest of the overpriced garbage away – I PAID OVER $20 FOR THIS! Very upset and will NOT be returning
