This is the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to bar none! We ate lunch on the patio and it was a very pleasant experience. Excellent service! Everything was fabulous!

The waitress placed my receipt on top of my chips. The Molcajete is not a molcajete. It is nothing compared to a molcajete. Years ago, this restaurant used to be so good and the best in the area. The only good food is their fried beans and chips.

It was one of my favorite restaurants, I went to live in another city and returned two years later to this place, my surprise is that by increasing its prices terribly, the molcajete that I ordered no longer even came in a molcajete, with little meat, it no longer came with nopales or onions They lowered the quality of their meat because the one I got was all chewy.
They don't show you the prices on the menu (of course! Because they are well organized!!) You can see the prices only if you scan the QR on the table.
They never have enough parking.
Very bad... I'm not going back.

Really good restaurant, you can feel Mexico vibes from the moment you step foot.
Dishes are crazy big and pampering and everything is so delicious.

The food is good. The beans are just too spicy for my taste. Not sure if authentic Mexican refried beans are supposed to be spicy but not even my Mexican mom cooks beans to taste too spicy.

I absolutely love the food, but the restaurant itself is going down hill. They are serving physical menus in which they literally used a hole puncher to remove the prices out of it, the menus are literally falling apart. Additionally, they decided that they are popular enough to just straight up put a credit card processing fee instead of eating the cost. For a restaurant of there size, this is literally less then 2% but they are charging more. The restaurant just literally feels ghetto now.

I’ve been here twice and all the food is so good and the servings are massive! They are so big that you could split a plate with someone else, or take home left overs for dinner the next day! They have a great salsa bar with a variety of options and spice levels. I tried the shrimp and carne asada tacos and they were delicious. I would definitely order them again.

The worst food I have ever had at a restaurant in my life, and I genuinely mean this. How do you ruin enchiladas and taquitos? I got chicken taquitos, potato taquitos, and cheese enchiladas. They served me OLD CHICKEN in the taquitos, and not just slightly old chicken. The chicken was like expired, food poisoning level OLD. They put cheese in the potato and chicken taquitos and the cheese tasted like sliced American cheese or Velveta, and they put sooooo much. It was so bad. The enchiladas they put the same kind of cheese but made it with some kind of creamy green sauce, not the typical tomatillo salsa for enchiladas which wasn’t good at all. The beans were not good either. I can’t believe anyone would eat at this place. They make sure to make the cheapest possible food for the highest profit. The food quality was just so poor. What kind of food even is this because it’s not Mexican. I will never eat at one of these places again.

We were in from out of town and was recommended to hit this place up. It was great. The staff was really friendly and the food was good. We had a table of four, and everyone loved their orders.

AUTHENTIC Mexican food! I can’t believe this is my first time rating this place! This place is constantly packed and for good reason: their staff is amazing, kind, and friendly! And their food is BEYOND delicious 😍😋
I have been going here for years… I have brought family who visited from out of state to this restaurant and every time they are blown away by the food here too. I cannot say enough great things about this place.
Now granted… their parking isn’t the best and it’s often hard to find an available spot. Honestly parking is very annoying :( That would be the only thing that is a headache for this certain location but either way, 10 out of 10!
Since I don’t always eat meat, I always order the Vegetarian Burrito, the enchiladas, or the chile relleno. sooooo delicious!
