Great vegetarian options! Love the fact that they serve cucumber/ Lemon water. The pineapple infused tequila shots are great too.
Asked for sour cream. Not an unusual request... as we ordered tacos. Server never told us that there was an upcharge. When we received the bill it was $1.00 for about a quarter sized squirt of sour cream. Like it was laughable amount I wish I took a picture. The tacos weren't magical but they were good and was impressed with the beans and rice. We were totally keen on definitely coming back; but once we got the bill we definitely said this owner is greedy and petty with the whole sour cream thing. Left a sour taste in our mouths (no pun intended). Won't be back.
For those looking for information about the atmosphere it is very nice. Whoever designed it put a lot of effort into it. The place is pretty small so sound does bounce around.
Server was very nice and attentive. Was very impressed that she was able to handle the bar and all the tables efficiently. Like I said the only thing I was irritated about was not being told about an upcharge.

I absolutely LOVE this place!! Today was my 2nd time here and again it did not disappoint! The service is excellent! Melina was amazing! Such a great, fun personality! And she gave excellent recommendations for the food and drinks! We even told her to surprise us with our last drink order and she made the most delicious drinks!
The food is very fresh and so good! This time we had the La Sirena and the Mexican corn. Both were so delish! And the 3 salsas they gave us to have with our tacos was so yummy too! Even the water was good and refreshing! Cucumbers and lime in it which was so refreshing 😋 We sat on the patio which was a nice view of the surrounding area. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone

Super cute and delicious food! On top of it all, the service is great. Our server, Melanie, went above and beyond making sure we had everything we needed. She explained the menu well and guided us to get the quesabirrias which were 100/10!

It’s an overall great place. My favorite are the tostadas and the drinks are always delicious. I also now have a favorite waitress, Melanie! She’s awesome!

I’m honestly shocked at how terrible the service was. From getting the orders incorrect, to forgetting multiple items that the table ordered.
What made it worse was the fact that the missing items were mentioned and requested multiple times and they still were never brought.
There was no apology, there was no compensation, nothing. The staff was less than friendly about their mistake.

This spot is the truth!! The birria eggrolls were so flavorful and light. Great service our server Melina was knowledgeable and super helpful. We will for sure be back, for more tasty Margaritas. The prickly pear Margarita had the right amount of kick.

Besides the great food, I ordered a burrito bowl. Great flavors just to much of the pinto beans. There was a little altercation that happened with the server and a customer and I have my child so it was a little disturbing to see and witness.
