Recently changed owner, name and menu. Ambiance is great with lovely indoor and outdoor seating. New menu is standard Mexican offerings. First week so hopefully they shake out the cobwebs and there is a new menu coming. Manager was informative and helpful.

Food was delicious. I ordered the posole, which was 10/10. We also ordered the Chile rellenon. It was great, but I wish it came with beans and rice. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely be returning.

Saturday evening we were the only customers... weird! When we received our food we understood why this place was empty! It was the worst Mexican food ever! My son had a burger but it was undercooked and probably microwaved. I had beef fajitas, tasteless, the fajitas were so wet! Terrible gravy was on my plate! The others had chicken tacos but the food had once again no taste! The only good thing was the margarita! This place used to be a great place but not anymore, don't waste your time and money on crappy food.

Food was not good. We have been here many times and feel that it has really gone down hill. Chips tastes stale, queso was very bland, chicken mole was simply bad. Service was good, the staff is very nice. I hope they can turn it around.

Absolutely phenomenal service, ambiance, and food!Found this little gem while in the area with my fiancé and two dogs. The front outdoor patio is dog friendly and our server was just as attentive to our pups as she was to us! The guacamole with pomegranate seeds and roasted corn was delectable, as was the queso fundido con chorizo, lamp lollipops, and Al Pastor! Definitely found my new favorite go-to spot in the area! The decor was stunning and upscale, and the staff were extremely welcoming and courteous! Cannot rave about this place enough! Please do yourself and your tastebuds a favor and check this amazing restaurant out!

Delicious authentic Mexican food. Lovely hidden gem with live music on Saturday night. Enjoyed this restaurant very much. Delicious chips and salsa and excellent Sangria. Highly recommend this restaurant

If you are looking for a great place that has great music and ambiance, this is it. Unfortunately, this is not authentic Mexican food. You are paying for the live entertainment and environment. At best, we would consider this over priced Tex-Mex. Actually, I’ve had better Tex-Mex. I did reviewed it fairly. Example: Queso Fundido; should be with asadero and chorizo. The cheese base tasted like the chipotle queso.

We had a wonderful experience. The food was excellent with many choices. There was a guitarist / singer playing which really added to the ambiance of the restaurant. Our server Alex was very helpful with any questions around the menu and suggesting dishes. Highly recommend for a lovely evening out.

Good service doesn't necessarily equate to FAST service. Everyone and everything here felt rushed! It was one rapid fire course after another, delivered by a staff that also seemed RUSHED and not remotely friendly — not one smile. My dining partner observed that we spent more time driving to the restaurant than eating there. Good food, but it felt like fast food service.

A beautiful looking restaurant.You get chips and salsa. The chips could use a little bit more salt. Also we got guac and the guac needed something. The drinks we got were really good. I got the prickly pear mocktail.I also got the carne asada entree. It was good. My friend liked her meal too.

Couldn't have asked for a more perfect place for a bachelorette dinner. We had a reservation fall through at a well known spot in downtown Scottsdale so I was a little nervous to try a newer place that was a little more out of the way but wow!! I think things ended up even better! We had a group of 12 girls and everyone loved what they ordered. The margaritas were all delicious too. There was a live band playing the night we went and they let us dance and we had a ball. I have to mention how absolutely stunning the decor was. It was so trendy and great for pictures. Service was friendly as well, you never know when you are a bachelorette group but everyone was so kind and checked in many times to make sure we had all we needed. Highly recommend this spot!
