We ate here for dinner, and the food was very good. Not necessarily better than our favorite Mexican places in the area, but good. The service was very slow and phoned in.

The staff was nice and the interior is cute. The fajita was tons of food, more than my husband could eat, but the shrimp was fairly bland, he said. His margarita (not frozen) was okay. I ordered chicken tacos and got beef. They were fine, I guess. I will say the rice was amazing, but overall, the food is just okay. I wouldn’t avoid this restaurant, but I won’t be craving it.

My favorite thing about this place is that it feels like home. Delicious food, drinks, & beautiful environment. I love how they decorate for all occasions. Staff is extremely friendly and attentive to all customers. Take-out, LUNCH, dinner, happy hour. I come here by myself, with my husband, or my family. My favs are the 3tacos for lunch, quesadillas or fajitas for dinner & churros for dessert!! Always serve plenty of food & make for great leftovers to take home. Highly recommended!...read full review
