Tasty guacamole and chips, and beef enchiladas. The pitcher of house margarita was strong. The service was excellent and attentive. There is an automatic 18% gratuity. There is an approximate 4% discount if you pay in cash. This place was surprisingly-empty for a Friday evening around happy hour in December, 2025. We were the only people dining there until around 6pm.

It’s a decent local Mexican place, reasonable to average prices, plenty of seating, and diligent but not overbearing service. Our two dishes were out in about 5 minutes, so it can be a quick lunch. The food wasn’t extraordinary, but it was pleasant. The chips were warm and thin and crispy; the salsa was a bit watery.

I’m not sure what the hours are—they’re listed as being open basically from lunchtime through dinner and into late night, but they seem to close between lunch and dinner, around 3pm.

This restaurant has given up, I think. The food was okay but there was WAY too much. It's very wasteful. Who is going to eat 3 cups of rice and 2 cups of beans and their main selection. The napkin had a hairball stuck on it. The fork had food caught in the tines. I am amazed that they are still open.

I will never order from this restaurant again. Through Door Dash, I ordered a chicken chimichanga & the best thing about it was the flour tortilla. The chicken tasted more like salmon. (Maybe from using the same cutting board?) Food arrived barely warm. Driver blamed it on the restaurant. Never again.

I arrived here today at 3:30pm. I heard their food was delicious. I'll never know because they were closed when I arrived. Their website said they're open from 11:00am until 10:30pm. Misleading

Terrible experience, Had rats and roaches, The service was awful. I went to the bathroom and saw them pull out the chips from a trash can and put it on a bowl for customers completely unsanitary.

I absolutely love this place! The atmosphere is great—you really feel like you’re in a local, authentic spot. The rancheras playing in the background set a perfect vibe. The guacamole and chips were super good, and the rest of the food was just as delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly and very accommodating with my dietary restrictions. I definitely need to come here more often. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something unique and genuinely authentic!
