I have mixed feelings about this place. The food was undeniably good—flavorful, well-prepared, and well presented. That said, paying $32 for three small tacos felt a bit steep. Coming from California, where I've had excellent upscale Mexican food at half the price, the cost here was a bit discouraging. Also worth noting: there's an automatic 22% gratuity/service charge, which caught me off guard. Overall, great taste, but the value didn’t quite match the price point...

I came here for happy hour & the prices are so affordable. You get such a deal for the quality of food they provide. They have $9 margaritas & $5 tacos. I’ll definitely be back again for happy hour and want to try dinner as well. The service was really good & every bite was delicious. The ceviche tostada was delicious!

I come from New York and this is the best food I’ve ever had. I was in disbelief honestly. I walked in with my party and our hostess Angie was a lovely girl. She accommodated us and welcomed us in.

Our server Daisy was so kind. She was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. She explained the menu to us even the meals. You can tell she knows her job!
