I should've known better. Place was empty at around 12:45 in the afternoon. Ordered 2 tacos al pastor and a burrito. Meat was extremely dry and for $4 a taco, you would expect a decent portion. Asked if al pastor came with pineapple ( it varies depending from what part of Mexico the cuisine is from ), server said yes but didn't come with it. I asked about it and got completely ignored. ??. This place definitely needs attention from its owner/owners.

The food was pretty good, nothing to really brag about. The service was good but they did not have my first 2 choices of drink and they didn't have guacamole. Other than that it was ok.

Pros: the margarita was good. The server was very nice and fast.Cons: they were out of salsa. The chips were stale. I ordered shrimp & steak quesadilla but got a shrimp only quesadilla. The manager was arguing with a couple very awkward.Overall, the food was decent but prob won’t be returning.

I'm only here for a week or so. This place sucks. I got a burrito, ate half and took the other back. I gave it to a couple feral cats outside my house. They sniffed it and walked away. It's still there.

I went here today with my boyfriend, we had an amazing meal & the atmosphere in the restaurant was perfect !! I ordered the Carne Asada plate and he ordered 4 tacos, we had mixed drinks as well and they were very good! When we got the bill it was a little high, we couldn’t afford it at first but the manager came to us and told us he would give us a discount & that’s exactly what he did! Our waiter Yuri, was so amazing and beautiful and patient with us… I always appreciate wonderful customer service on top of a good meal and this restaurant went beyond our expectations ? we will definitely be returning to this restaurant whenever we are back in town and we urge other people to do the same. The are really wholesome people who work in this restaurant and they truly do deserve the best.

They said they didn’t have salsa but they had tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. We weren’t given plates or bowls to be able to share salsa or queso. Gave less than 1.5 ounces of alcohol and called it a double shot. Gin & Sprite was basically a Sprite. Food was unremarkable.

Mhhh. No draft beer. Bottles and premium drinks.Mish mosh ordering.Real Mexican. And tastes terrific.The patio is very nice .It isn't very busy. It just doesn't appeal as warm and friendly.

Good food.Weird service.First, let me say that the guacamole is great. I'm very picky and this guacamole was fresh. I even asked if I wanted jalapenos. The sopes were also good with fresh toppings.The service was weird. They brought the food to the table in to go containers but the other folks got their food on regular plates, etc. They brought my water out a while after the food. There were only 3 of us in the restaurant.The place is friendly and worn. I could see how this might be someone's favorite watering hole. Maybe I just caught them when they were having an off day.

I ordered a steak quesadilla with rice/beans, a side of chips and queso/salsa, and a 20 Oz coke. Total was $30 after the lunch discount. Insane. My queso and salsa was wrapped in aluminum foil (no lid). No one told me. The $7 queso spilled all inside the bag. I had to ask for my soda 3 times. My food was disgustingly greasy. What queso was left in the bowl was watery. Nothing was fresh. Not even the chips.
