Nice neighborhood place, welcoming staff and attentive service. The fresh chips & salsa were the perfect start along with some queso. I had the Cinco Nachos (saw another review recommending) – large plate of chips loaded with ground beef, cheese, onions and peppers – very good, perfect for sharing. I will be back!

Came here on a Friday evening to treat myself after the week. This place is lovely, and the location is quite convenient – right off 290. The service is awesome! The complimentary chips came out warm, which is super nice. I also ordered a small guac, which tastes awesome! It’s creamy and refreshing with the right amount of tartness. I tried the uno starter plate, and the poppers are so good! Very flavorful, crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. The el pastor tacos are ok, although I’d say the seasoning is a little too much to my taste. I also got the puffy tacos, but these aren’t very good. I love the idea of frying a puffy tortilla, but unfortunately, the fillings are not compatible. I ordered one beef and one chicken. The beef filling essentially is cooked minced beef with typical taco meat seasoning but over-salted. The chicken taco, on the other hand, is way too bland. It tastes like a chicken breast boiled, pulled, and stuffed into the taco pocket. The seasoning of the meats, however, is not the biggest problem. The worst part is that the meat juices also got put into the taco. That completely dissolves the bottom of the crispy outside (a soggy bottom if you watch the British bakeoff). I couldn’t even hold it in my hand when taking a bite. It just fully collapsed. Overall, I liked the starters and guac, but the puffy tacos certainly need some improvement.

Family-Friendly, great service. Flour tortillas are just the right mix of fluffy and crispy.

This is a great spot for authentic Mexican food. I often get the sizzling fajitas (chicken & beef or shrimp) which are all fantastic. The service is also really good. Adam always remembers my name and order – I’ve had a fantastic experience in large part due to his service. I would recommend coming here and will certainly be coming back!

We are always so happy with the service we receive here! We are a large group that regularly meets here and we are routinely warmly welcomed. Our chips and salsa stay full. Our server takes orders as we are ready.

We decided to visit this restaurant because it is in our neighborhood and east to get in and out of for my mother who is 91 years old. The food was tasty, but what really stood out was the love and care from the wait staff. They beamed smiles at mom and made sure we had everything we needed. Water glasses always full, did not rush us. I noticed several folks with walkers as well as a large table for a family gathering of multigenerations. Everyone was having a wonderful time. I want the staff to know that they are making a difference by providing this service in our community! Thank you!!❤️

I would give this place 6/5 if I could. Their food is delicious every time. One of the times, I placed an online to-go order and after I picked it up and left, got a phone call back that they left something out. That’s awesome that they would realize that and give me a call instead of letting it go. I appreciated that and they even compensated me with a dessert even though I didn’t expect anything extra! Way to go going above and beyond, love it! Will recommend this place to everyone and will keep coming back.

It has been a really long time since we were actually seeeerved. We were super impressed with Adam, the nice chip gentleman, even the host who sat us. Impeccable service. Then, the food- let me tell you, I don’t know what we were expecting but we never would have imagined the food being so damned good. We’ve lived over here for years always saying we were going to try it until finally we did and now we’ve agreed on being regulars.

My new favorite Mexican restaurant! The margaritas were excellent, the food was outstanding, the service was flawless! And they are extremely vegetarian-friendly! Highly recommend the “cinco” (nachos) appetizer. Loved everything and will definitely be coming back.
