This place is great, authentic mexican food through and through. I had the Tamales and heavily recommend them. Their beans and rice are divine, and the chips and salsa they provide at the table is really good. Any of their margarita's are delicious too, a little small for their price but pack big flavor.

I came to eat lunch with my mother while passing through town. The environment was festive and open, and the decor was so colorful. I had the Tacos Al Pastor and my mother had the Tortilla Soup. The chips and salsa were delicious. We both enjoyed our food. It came out quickly, looked and tasted delicious. Waiter was friendly and attentive. I appreciate that all the ingredients are fresh and everything is homemade. Will be back!

Terrible place to go. The food is mediocre, the ownership is terrible, and the wait staff mirrors the owner. Will never be going back

This is a response to Brittney siler,
The fajitas don’t sizzle because They don’t add water to the hot plate so it don’t lose the taste , and the meat are placed that way because they use more meat than vegetables that’s why they don’t mix them with the veggies- the restaurant it’s advertised as authentic Mexican food , so understandable you’re upset it’s not your typical Tex-Mex
You were jot happy with the nachos and they were removed from your bill . The pastor tacos are in fact marinated with chopped fresh pineapples , and not slices if that’s what you thought, the chips are served whole because that’s how authentic looks like
The salsas are served warm for the same exact reason and they don’t use canned tomatoes, it’s all real tomatoes chargrilled every day , you mention the parking lot , there was a big party that’s why it was so busy thankfully! It’s unfortunate many people don’t understand the concept of authentic Mexican cuisine.

I feel like people only review a place when it's bad. But this place, let me start off by saying that when we got our chips and salsa they were not chips they were tostada size that you have to break up yourself. The menu is limited and my husband really wanted a burrito. None on the menu. His fajitas didn't sizzle when they reached the table. His chicken and steak were not fixed together. Better yet, sliced then laid side by side. The steak looked like it was a whole steak that they sliced almost to the end so he had to cut the strips the rest of the way apart. Nachos had hardly any meat, and hardly any queso. Mom ate 2 bites. I had the Al pastor tacos. They were good but had no pineapple as advertised. Salsa was good. 🤷 Drinks went completely empty. The blue plates that came out for our chips are the same ones I got at home from the dollar tree.

Edit: I've never worked for this establishment.

We went last night for a late company Christmas party. The space is beautifully decorated. Our server was very kind but I could tell she was overwhelmed and disorganized. I had to ask for a water 3 times before receiving one. Me and my partner split the combo fajitas. Our sides for the fajitas were dropped on the table 10 minutes before our fajitas arrived leaving the rice and beans to be cold. The fajitas were just okay. On the bottom it's melted cheese, onions and peppers and then they had placed all the meat on top. The chicken was juicy which was nice but overly seasoned with what appeared to be cinnamon? The steak was dry and under seasoned. The shrimp were juicy but very salty. My margarita had 5 pieces of ice in it and I'm not exaggerating. $15 for an overly acidic top shelf margarita with no ice. We had to ask for sides of ice for the table. We ordered a shrimp cocktail once our friend got hers because it looked so good but that never came. That was disappointing. Dessert we ordered the churros and the flan for the table. I didn't try the flan so I'm uncertain how it was. The churros were hot and tasty but there was a lingering flavor of old oil they probably need to change the oil in the fryer. Overall a very subpar experience. Its unlikely that we will dine here again for nights out.
