Great food and a casual, warm, friendly atmosphere. The watermelon margarita was SO good, fresh and simple, perfectly made. Chips, salsa, elote appetizer, chicken enchiladas - it was all delicious. It's a wide-ranging menu with very good prices and the kind of service that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. I wish I lived closer! But, I will absolutely be back, there were many things on the menu I wanted to try.

Best Mexican food in town. Amazing drinks and great service. They even have Mcilhenney Beer on tap. Haven't had something I don't like and I've tried almost everything on the menu. Try the pork belly tacos and aguachile when they have them.

Under the new ownership, this place is a gem! Service was incredibly quick, the drinks were perfectly crafted, and the food was absolutely excellent, every dish was spot on. Don’t be swayed by older reviews; our experience was flawless from start to finish. The highlight? A fresh tres leches cupcake that was hands-down the best I’ve ever had. We’ll definitely be coming back!

It was good. Wish more variety of hot sauce. The ala carte taco was the largest single taco I've seen. Very good. Fried quesadilla was tasty and covered in cheese .

WOW!! I've eaten here before but they have really vamped up the food. Our meals were excellent. I'm a beef chimichanga girl and I can tell you this was in my top 5 best chimichangas in my life. Rice and beans were excellent also. Rice was super fluffy and yummy. The Albondigas soup was so good and flavorful. And the chips they served when you sit down? Fresh, hot and super crispy LIKE THEY SHOULD BE. The salsa and guac was on point too. I was full and kept eating because it was so good. High Five! 04/08/2025

One of the worst meals I've ever had in my entire life. Every food product was either average or below-average (and straight out of the freezer) with no taste and certainly no love . Chicken and steak tasted identical...ie bland.
Atmosphere? No music. System was broke said the waitress.
There is no reason to eat here. None.
