This is probably the best Mexican restaurant we've ever eaten at.was fairly busy when we stopped for lunch but we were still seated and had our order taken quickly.staff were polite and understanding when our 2 yr old made a mess as well.food came out pretty quick and was amazing,definitely recommended the birria tacos.my wife had a margarita and it was great as well as decently sized
