Recent Reviews
Plates were way way too hot. Temperature wise. The waitress was a little slow but friendly. I had not gone here in a few years. I remember the food being very tasty. Maybe the chef went to work next door at Don Antonio's Mexican food. Food seems to take longer to get to you. It's probably from all the phone/App orders.

Came here to hang out after watching a soccer game, and watch the Mexico game. Such a fun environment. I had a regular Margarita, which was good, but the spicy cucumber was AMAZING! Highly recommend. We also had the garlic shrimp, and steak fajitas, and this was really great the steak fajitas had such an amazing flavor and my bf loved the garlic shrimp. My son had the Talpa Special burrito, and he loved it, was big so he couldn’t finish it. We will be returning.
