Some of the best Mexican food I've had. Our table thought the queso was some of the best we've had.

Honestly the best chicken molé I've ever gotten from a restaurant. Decent prices for the location, too. Worth your time.

We should've read the reviews before coming here. We both ordered the albondigas and they tasted spoiled and smelled like mold. Both of us got sick as we were eating and still threw up after we left

Great place for real authentic Mexican but beware the fish tacos sauce might bite you back.

Very kind staff but the margaritas were the worst margaritas we’ve ever had, could not finish it, tasted like “plastic”?? Hard to explain but very chemical flavor and we had to ask what was in it. Also the dishes we finished and they were alright but not what we expected. We really wanted to enjoy this restaurant after a long day on the mountain but it left a lot to be desired and we left feeling unsatisfied :/

Solid late night grab after the holiday train in gtown. Decided that any place over 4.0 for Mx is actually 5 stars if you actually understand what is and should be served at a Mexican restaurant. Not sure why they rate low, maybe some California Karen’s mad over the spices queso. This place was solid, no frills, no fuss, good food, perfect save for a hungry Mrs and two kids 8 & 13. Service was great — even though slow night kitchen was still fastKid-friendliness: Customized dish no problemo for my youngest and pickiest

My mom and I got nachos and they were some of the worst nachos I've ever had. They were incredibly soggy and without any real flavor. My sister's quesadilla was basic but okay, rice and beans are alright, and my margarita was pretty good.

Service makes a difference. Nice atmosphere with Unfriendly, sour faced employees. Food not very good. Dried out rice, mysterious meat in a corn shell.
