Bland food, service and overall experience left plenty to be desired. Went in on a Thursday afternoon, not too many people in. Ordered some apps and entrees. Mole enchiladas were good, but that's about all that was good. Short rib taco-short rib was oddly stringy and not very flavorful.Empanadas-were not true empanadas, as they looked like tacos with thicker dough.Pastor plate-decent, probably the tastiest of anything.Pork belly taco-probably the most disappointing. Wish they had seasoned better and small touches like searing the pork belly tacos would have made all the differenceLastly, service was poor. 1 lady perhaps the manager, and 1 waitress. We had to ask for refills for drinks, didn't check in on us or ask how the food was. Just felt that they were going through the motions and not really providing a memorable experience . I had to ask for the check, then had to go hand it to the waitress and the manager asked "how was everything" and I replied with "just okay", she repeated "just okay" and I nodded yes. No follow up or curious as to why I was saying this and I just left. I really wanted to like this place, but sadly I now realize why the place was empty. I like to try different places as you never know, could be a lo key gem of a restaurant, unfortunately this wasn't it..

We were looking for a place that was quick since we were in between basketball games at OGP. We only had 1hr break. We walked in asking if it was ok for quick service. Karen was our server and helped us get food so quick and with a smile. She was so understanding and wanting to help. Later the manager Olivia came to check if we needed anything. The service was AMAZING and so was the food. We had kids steak tacos, one fish taco and fish enchiladas by request. Will definitely return.

The food is very good and presentation of it plus the portions are just perfect not small or huge. I'll be back for sure.

This is our second time coming to this restaurant, and we can honestly say we have become a fan! Several months back, our son-in-law and our daughter suggested this restaurant since they live in the neighborhood and have had great experience. Last night, we had a delicious dinner. We started with The Grilled Pineapple Margaritas (my favorites), Cadillac Margaritas, and Model Especial beers, and shared the Guacamole with chips, salsa, and warm bean dip. Our entrees were the Skirt Steak Lollipops (absolutely delicious), the Shrimp Tacos combo, Skillet Tacos Al pastor, and Churros, and everything was terrific, from the presentation to the delightful flavors. We had Alejandro G. as our server, and he was welcoming, attentive, and friendly, making our dinner pleasant and fun. We will be coming back over, over and over again! Keep up the great job!! Two thumbs up

The fajitas didn't sizzle...at all....and came out within 10 minutes...The food tasted good, the salsa was okay, the chips were good....but my dad and I both got fajitas....and both got overnight food poisoning. Something was wrong with the food. May have been left out too long...wasn't cooked fresh not quite sure. But my family and I will not return due to getting sick. Our server was very nice though.

The two stars is ONLY because the food is always very good here. However, the service can be lacking from time to time. It had been a while since I've come by, and I remembered why. Every so often, depending on who's there, the service will lack. For example, I was sitting at the bar top. Counter was empty and not a busy night there. My drink was sitting empty for a while. The bartender looked at me, the drink, and the food that had come out a while ago, however didn't ask if the food was good, if I needed anything, to refill the drink, offer water, or anything. Instead, she continued conversation with two servers sitting at the bar. In order to ask for some tortillas and another drink, I had to talk to a passing server. The server told the bartender who continued to talk to the two servers sitting at the bar. She was apparently making them drinks. Still, I sat with an empty drink and no water while I ate. After a while, she walked by me and remembered she was supposed to make me a drink. At this point, I was almost done with my food and just asked for the check instead. It's disappointing when the food is always so amazing.

After hearing how amazing this place was, we had to try it out for ourselves. Let me tell you, it didn't disappoint! The staff was very friendly and prompt when bringing out drinks and chips with salsa and warm beans. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the decor is classy. This is the kind of place you could bring your family for a nice dinner or hang at the bar with a buddy for a drink and tacos while watching a game. For his drink, hubby had a pineapple margarita, which he loved (nice and strong), and we started off with guacamole, which was super fresh and had great flavor. Hubby has the shrimp and lobster enchiladas with a tangy red sauce. They were a large portion and also served with fresh avocado. I had a delicious chili verde, served with white rice and tortillas. We had really wanted to try dessert but were too full. We can't wait to come back again to try out more on the menu!

I have never been here and overall it was very good. Stick with the tacos, they are big with different flavor profiles. I got the cauliflower and the pork belly. My wife got the chicken mole. Our friend got the pulpo (squid) which he said was excellent. We also got the Queso Fundido which lacked chorizo.

I ordered the fish taco plate.I was given 1 fish taco a la carte missing rice and beans. They said they would fix the order. I got my meal as others got their checks.They also couldn't get a bean and cheese burrito out and had to be given in a to go box to one of the kids in the party.
