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.

Love their tacos. My favorites tacos are their fried chicken taco, fish, and steak tacos. Also highly recommend their habanero and arbol salsa.
Also recommend coming here for taco tuesdays where the tacos are 3 dollars!
I would also like to add that my server Ethan was very informative and nice!
Parking: Plenty Parking at the back of the restaurant.

Food is good and fresh. Could benefit from some rotating options. Drinks are a bit pricey, but absolutely delicious.
Minimal customers in restaurant yet it took 15 minutes to get seated and no one really cared.
Margaritas were awful - 2 sips and the drink was done. Tasted like water. Worst I’ve ever had. NO CHIPS and SALSA. What a bunch of cheapos!
Food was cold. Wanted to charge me for cheese and salsa for my burrito. Will never return.
Bottom line - poor service and food, cheap drinks and entrees. Don’t see a future for this restaurant.
The fried chicken rice and beans was bland as hell

The place was good in the ingredients are fresh but it just wasn't the authentic style that I am used to. The drinks were still very tasty but the food was a little bland. Good service throughout our visit.
