We met friends here and it was our first time to eat at this restaurant. There were street tacos, burrito bowls, poblano peppers. Each of us had something different. All the food was delicious. Our waiter was so kind to us and made sure we had everything we needed during our meal. We will definitely be back.

Ordered the chicken burrito supreme. It came cold. They remade it and put the cold ingredients on the side without making sure with me that is what I want. The beans, rice was cold and not from the sour cream. When they remade it, they “forgot” to bring the chips with it.

Very nice atmosphere with great an eclectic design and pops of personal touches with plants and vintage planters.Great service and the food was fantastic . To me , some of the side items on the menu are overpriced but otherwise a great experience. Our first time back since they moved to the main Street in Homewood. We got the nachos for an appetizer for five of us and it was really big, I think it could be shared with even more . We also got their guacamole, it won't disappoint, delicious !

The atmosphere was kind of cool. It seemed to be newer, but this is NOT a Mexican restaurant. The menu says they are famous for fried chicken...my husband's food was supposed to be a hot meal, but was cold. My daughter got a chicken quasadilla and the chicken was dry and all gristle, so she had to chew each bite for a long time. My son got a chicken burrito and the chicken was dry with a BBQ flavor. My meal was edible. There are no free chips and salsa either.

I do not recommend this place if you are wanting mexican food or anything other than the fried chicken. Someone at another table got that, and it looked pretty good.

A little bland. Can use more flavorings. Tortilla chips are on the harder side

The salsas with chips were really good in price and were tasty, setting up some high expectations for the entree. However, the taco plate that I ordered, one al pastor and carnitas, came with co.pletely bland rice and beans. The tacos themselves were extremely mediocre and lacked a lot of flavor.

The ambience is okay, probably good if you're coming to get something at the bar and some chips and salsa, but the main food is lackluster at best.

Food and drinks are always delicious. Reservations were made prior but they didn’t see them when I arrived, but they were able to accommodate my 10 person party quickly.

If you order take out, check your order before you leave the restaurant. They forget something crucial every time I’ve order to-go. (If you order salsa and queso, how do you forget to include chips?) Food is great, so I keep going back. Usually good service when dining in.
