My husband and I are new to town, and we were excited to try this Mexican restaurant. For context, we eat Mexican food several times a week at home and have been to many authentic Mexican restaurants over the years. Unfortunately, this visit was a major letdown.

We were seated and given chips and salsa, but we sat for about 10 minutes before anyone came to take our drink order. When the waitress finally approached, she asked me what I wanted to drink, then said “anything else?” without even asking my husband. He eventually got his order in, but it already felt like the service was rushed and inattentive.

I ordered a margarita, and while their menu listed several flavors, they only had strawberry. That alone told me they were using a pre-mixed margarita rather than making them fresh. It was not good—I didn’t even drink half.

When it came time to order food, the waitress asked my husband what he wanted, started to walk away, and didn’t even ask for my order until I spoke up. My husband ordered oysters, which looked like they had been sitting out far too long. They were not fresh, and now he is sick—possibly with food poisoning.

For two drinks, one appetizer, and two very mediocre meals, and 18% tip, our bill came to $92. Considering the slow, inattentive service, poor drink quality, questionable food safety, and overall lackluster experience sadly, we will not be returning.

I saw a cockroach!! Please stay away from this establishment. Service was very uninviting, and the tacos needed more seasoning.

Really disappointed! We ordered a sope and it was really hard fried too much it was almost like a tostada. We ordered corn and it was cold. Steak was really salty and beans too. I was expecting really good flavor and good food. Not recommended sorry.

Was shocked to see this place didn’t offer enchiladas and the portions were a bit too small. Food wasn’t bad tho
