The food was beyond on point I can see why everyone rates it so high. That's actually why we chose it and we're super glad we came through. We're from Kansas City, so we've got a pretty good Mexican food base here to compare to.

Wife and I have been coming since they opened during the pandemic in 2020. They were slow on traffic but has grown every year since. Very authentic. Very friendly. Very tasty. We are so glad they were able to make a go of it during the worst time to open a restaurant.

Way too loud. Cannot talk to others in our party. Annoying. Food was well below par. What is all the red sauce (tomato) or enchilada sauce coming out of all the burritos? Disgusting! It was over powering the entree. The meat was soaking and flooding the plate. We will not be returning.

Clean and fun atmosphere! The service is very friendly and helpful. Everyone in our family enjoyed their food. I especially liked the freshly-made guacamole and the horchata 😊.
