They made my dish extra spicy with sliced serano chili and crushed dried arbor chili upon request. Loved it.

We didn't plan on going here tonight, but this is where we ended up. I'm so happy we found this place. We stopped in tonight because we forgot it was Sunday and our normal go-to spots where we normally get food were closed already. So here we were hungry and in need of somewhere with some good food that was open past 8. Google led us right to them. I got the birria tacos. They were juicy with great portions and full of so much flavor. They have been the best birria tacos I have ever had. I will definitely be going back to try more options from the menu and some drinks.

This place was pretty good! Reasonably priced, the margs were good and my fajitas were tasty. I'm looking forward to trying more things there in the future.

My review is based off of a single visit to this place. It is a nice place and I am glad we went. We were downtown and in the mood for Mexican. This place is quite authentic. The chips and salsa were good but the salsa reminded me more of spaghetti sauce than salsa. The chips looked homemade. There are two rooms, one is the bar area and one is the dining area. The dining area was not too loud even with a party of 8 next to us. I had the Ceviche and it tasted fresh but not the style I am use to. It did not have the citrus flavor I expected. Others in the group enjoyed their meals but no one boasted it was the best they ever had. The margaritas were also just in the ok category. If this was the only place open we would not complain about eating here but it is also not something we would search out.

They added like $10 to my bill and when I asked about it, they didn't tell me why or fix it. The food was good, but I'm not coming back because they literally scammed me.

I was invited here for my friend's birthday party. We had a large group and they were very accommodating. Our server was quick and attentive - even for how large our group was and the constant beverage replenishment was superb. Food came out hot and fresh and id have to say so delicious and great portion sizes. I had the quesabirria tacos and added jalapenos to them - they were loaded with protein and were the tastiest I've had in town so far!

We come here most Tuesdays for tequila Tues and have margaritas and tacos. Some weeks we do queso, or guacamole. The drinks are excellent and the food is good. We typically get birria tacos or steak tacos. Both are excellent. We have had the bacon wrapped shrimp and I like the chili rellano. The ppl are fantastically great and always nice. It's a great little Mexican restaurant downtown where you can get good food and great drinks with awesome ppl.

Absolutely one of the top Mexican restaurants in town for food flavor quality and value. I had a steak burrito. The steak had an excellent beef flavor which was complimented by the other vegetables in the burrito and it's re sauce, cheese and guac topping. My wife's chicken fajitas were also some of the best I have tasted. Service was stellar. I. Top of things without hovering. Highly recommend!!

The food was excellent. Salsa was very good consistency and taste was spot on. I had a chicken fajita. The chicken was tender peppers and onions perfectly cooked. This dish was seasoned to perfection. I normally leave the beans and do not eat them but OMG they were so good I ate those before my main dish. My husband was wondering if I was ok. I told him they were a must try. Oh so good. Their pop was mixed well.Fast and friendly service with a smile.Sorry, it smelled and looked so good that the pictures were an after thought.
