I asked our waitress before ordering if they would let me order a kids meal because I have a eating issues or if I should just order a single taco. Not only did the order come wrong but it was good so I ate it any way. I did not eat the whole thing as I stated but the bill came and I said oh you didn't charge me the kids price. She said oh my mistake I couldn't give you that price. I said we'll I told you I would just order a taco then. She said oh well. Not happy since I asked before ordering. I don't have a stomach and lots of restaurants let me order off the kids meal or I order a al a cart item, no problem.

Great spot and friendly service! Delicious food and beverages. The bean dip is a lovely perk, served with the complimentary chips.

Excellent food! Everyone in the party raved about their dish. Chimichanga with pork was fantastic. Also try the chocolate peanut butter mole sauce- so unique!!

The food actually tasted bad

Gigantic pitcher of Margarita!!
The appetizers were yummy. Better than expected. Where a bean dip can be bland and pasty, their's is really tasty with a very nice texture. We had the Super Appetizer.
The fried things, tacquitos, and chips, were delicate, not greasy, and flavorful.
The Cadillac Margaritas are, also, delicious.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting all these items to be as good as they were.

Best mexican we've found in the Santa Cruz area! Pup liked the patio, too.

Ordered 4 plates of food. Zero salt in the beans. No salt in the guacamole, no salt in the pico... no salt on the chicken or the asada. Pretty much the most bland food I have ever dropped 100 buck on. The michelada was good.

I think what I like the most about this place is the atmosphere it's nice and quiet mellow and has a lot for you to take in it looks small from the outside but when you go in it seems like it just keeps on going and going and there are so many things to look at check out the floor the design and the floor is awesome, you will not find this art piece in the restaurant this is one of my own that I did and the name of it is bailando that is why I am adding it to this post is the only one that I have done that has a Latin vibe

Parking: There is parking but from what I saw not much

Kid-friendliness: There's plenty of areas to sit and there is areas where they are big areas for families it is a family-friendly restaurant

Wheelchair accessibility: As far as wheelchair the entrances are pretty wide so I believe wheelchair would be pretty easy
