We have finally found a good restaurant in the area. I was surprised that the place wasn't completely full. The food was so fresh and beautifully prepared. We will definitely go back.

The food used to be great and loved ordering from here. I order the same thing every time which is the chicken fajitas chimichangas which used to be amazing but they have seemed to change it and I didn’t mind until tonight I ordered it and after the first bite I notice a hard piece that looked like a bone and the next few bites had hard black chunks and I almost puked. My fiancé who ordered the same thing got half way through his and started to find the same thing. I’m very disappointed

We love this restaurant. It's a hidden gem - the food is fresh and delicious. The flavors and spices in each dish are fantastic. Drinks are made to order with fresh ingredients. The staff is knowledgeable and accommodating. We especially love the molcajete entrees for a perfectly spiced, unusual entree. We can't understand why this place isn't packed everyday.

We are from California. This Mexican food is pretty legit! Homemade guac and margaritas ?

Coming from a California resident, they know how to cook Mexican food. This place had delicious margaritas, great music, attentive servers, and flavorful food. We’ll definitely be back!

The food was absolutely delicious. We got tacos which were great except they were quite small and we were still hungry.

Ordered a burrito with no sour cream and no cheese but they put cheese on it. Ordered pork nachos but the nachos came with no pork nothing on them except for cheese and tortillas. When I called to tell them that they messed up the order they hung up on me. Will never ever go back due to poor customer service!

Went for the first time at this location for Cinco de mayo and they in my opinion were short staffed but did the best they could, friendly. It's unfortunate in the NW corner we lack workers,we realized that and handled it but some left. Bottom line is the food and employees are fantastic, just be patient!

It is a holiday. Very busy , understandable. What is NOT is being deliberately ignored from multiple staff members when only to pick up my preorder of one single drink placed an half hour prior. Told to sit down when I was notified my order was ready and watched people come in and eat and leave while more came and left for over 20 minutes my order of one single drink was ready. Size was not correct , drink was made poorly and the price was expensive. When notified the staff of my concerns he said " it's all good" multiple times while pushing the cup towards me . Very inconsiderate and unprofessional. A long term local customer since the opening in this area and unfortunate will never be coming back. It's a shame because there food is AMAZING and best Mexican restaurant locally. Very discriminatory behavior as well.
