Warning, don't order online. I ordered online, went in and they told me my order didn't go through and they only take cash. The woman would not listen to me at all when I said that my card was charged. I really want to support small business as I have my own local business nearby so giving them a few stars for their decent shrimp tacos!

Very unfortunate I have to give this a 1 star. Store owner's daughter is incredibly rude.

Lively atmosphere. The food is superb in all factors . Quality, quantity, prices, and severed by helpful, attentive, and beautiful staff. I will definitely be going back here to try more menu items ..

Tasty food, reasonable price, only two things I didn't like, 1: cash only 2: the waitresses don't let you eat comfortably because they take away your plates and drinks before you have finished.

The experience I had wasn't up to par, the owners daughter very rude and dismissive regarding trying to get information on the items on their menu. Don't bother trying to get service , will ignore you while waiting.

Sonia needs to be trained better. Came in around noon. There was a table with two next to us. It's our first time here. We aren't greeted just told us to sit down at the table. She brought us chips and salsa. Salsa was filled halfway! I asked for a refill as there was plenty of chips on em again filled halfway! Food was good drinks was ok (not the best minchelada or Chavela in town). She did come around once to ask if we were good. I asked for salsa for food once again it was filled halfway! At the end I paid for the bill. When I came home I seen a charge for $5 for 2 extra salsa. $5 is not much but if there doing this to every customer then that's a rip off! Not only that, there not filling the small 2 ounce black containers. Shame that people try to support small local business and owners take advantage to charge for everything. At least put a sign or alert the customer. First impressions means a lot. Will not come here again.

The product was delicious, the waitress Claudia was very friendly. But they forced me to pay in cash because they didn't have Zelle, nor CR code, nor dataphone. They didn't notify me before placing my order either.

The food is consistently good.The service is ok.The decor is exactly the same as it was 10 years ago. Even back then it was outdated. Looks old.

I give this place negative 5 stars. The waitress was rude, very unprofessional. She went back and forth verifying the order and eventually got it wrong. The food took forever to be served and the food was served before the drinks. The micheladas were delicious with the original owners a few years back but the new ownership needs to reconsider if they want to stay in business. Oh and the music was way too loud. We went in a Sunday and they had a DJ playing music very loud, for once the place is small and loud music makes the eating experience unpleasant when you can't even hear the person you're eating with. It was definitely a waste of money because the food was sub standard, my granddaughter could have cooked better and she's 12, seriously. Do not recommend to eat there.

I loved this place when I first went there especially for their shrimp micheladas..and as of lately it's horrible idk how ppl go out the way to eat here. Chips stale..tacos tiny bit of meat salsa too much onion..shrimp too hot to enjoy..smh they lost me as a customer..Jalisco or Tlaquepaque is fire but no shrimp michies
