Excellent service. The atmosphere was nice, although the acoustics were loud at times for an early dinner with the family. Accessible language and signage would provide a more authentic and inclusive experience. Compliments to the kitchen staff/Chef! ¡GRACIAS!

Very dirty restaurant, I used the restroom and it is by far the dirtiest I have ever encountered,it doesn’t take much to throw a gallon of bleach !!! Hope they do a better job in the kitchen however i will not return,( fast food restaurants have cleaner restrooms)

Great food

Super friendly service from our waitress. Their food was good, the environment was great with a fireplace inside. If you're looking for a good Mexican place, stop looking and get direction to here.

In total, I’d rate this place a 7.6/10. We got the chicken tortilla soup and chicken fajitas which I 100% recommend, but the chicken bowl, enchiladas, and shrimp tacos were all mediocre. The staff was super nice regarding accommodations (especially since we brought my grandpa) in seating and food, however they did forget a good number of times which was a little inconvenient. They were only somewhat busy and twice were the tortillas cold and when they brought them back they were only slightly warm. Finally, the guac wasn’t very fresh but the salsa and chips were great. As a final note, 7.6/10, would recommend to some :/

Food sucks, sadly. Place is pretty esthetically and service is good but the food was THE WORSE IVE HAD IN A WHILE. it felt like reheated food. No effort! I understand is not an authentic Mexican restaurant, but the food was barely edible. It was disappointing.

Everything was bad with the food !!!!!!! You can do better than this !!! Won’t be back till you get a new chef or something!!!! Food looks like something a 10 year old can whip on his own in the microwave!!!!!!

First I want to say, our waitress WAS very sweet and attentive. The food though, HORRIBLE!!!! first they brought out biria taco’s for my daughter, the meat was SO cold, sent it back and you could tell all the did was take them and put them in a microwave, came back soggy and even more gross. They brought my husband the wrong sides out, he asked for the cilantro lime rice and veggies, and when brought out, the rice NOT COOKED. The veggies undercooked with NO FLAVOR. They literally put NO effort into making the food. My chicken fajitas were def not the best, but I guess “edible” BUT MY RICE AND BEANS ? the beans were DRY and rice tasted to be 5 days old. First AND last time! And the bill was 150! They did take off 2 meals, and still was $86!!! Taco Bell for 10$ would have been WAY better!!
