“Our server made our experience excellent. Everyone was super nice and welcoming. The drinks were absolutely delicious but the best meal we ordered was the Chicken. It was super juicy and flavorful, the chicken breast was even juicy which is hard to do. The potatoes were nice and tender. Recommend ordering a side of the poblano rice, super creamy and a hint of spice. The ceviche was also good but some pieces tasted extra fishy. The Queso fundido with their homemade chorizo was really good too. For drinks we ordered the Mezcalina, La Catrina and the Maracuya margarita both frozen and on the rocks. The favorite was the Catrina with a tajin on the rim modification.“

“A hidden gem in the Woodlands. I am a Chilango (México City Born and raised) and these are the best tacos we have found in the Woodlands. My wife and I just came from having few drinks at a speakeasy bar (Sabbatical Spirits) and stop by for some tacos and a Bohemia Beer. Our relatives that come to visit from MX love these tacos. Our favorite are Mar y Tierra with Corn tortilla. And we also order kalifa fries“

“This is one of our favorite date night places. The food is always fabulous, service is usually great, but not always, but then they can get pretty busy and I didn't know how their system works.The margaritas are a little pricey, even happy hour, especially for their size. They're not bad, but there's other great places for that value.We love the tamale corn cakes, avocado shrimp relleno, the large Guadalajara enchilada sampler platter (?)Roasted Chile creamy soup (exact name?)along with other fabulous dishes.Vegetarian options: They have a small section on menu and options for vegetarian.Parking: There's parking, though later on Friday you might have to sweat it a minute, but we've never had to leave the lot.“
