“This is hands-down one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve ever been to! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of authentic charm. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome—always friendly, attentive, and quick with refills.

The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish is bursting with fresh flavor, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. The tacos were packed with tender, juicy meat, the enchiladas had just the right kick, and the guacamole tasted like it was made seconds before hitting the table.

What I love most is the consistency—you can tell they put real care into every plate that comes out of the kitchen. Portion sizes are generous, prices are fair, and the quality is unbeatable. Whether you’re here for a casual lunch, a family dinner, or a night out with friends, this place hits the mark every single time.

If you’re craving authentic Mexican food with amazing service and atmosphere, look no further. This restaurant is a gem—I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!“

“We went for lunch and grabbed 3 tacos and the supposedly potato skins. It was nasty, you couldn't chew the steak or chicken and the potatoes were raw covered in nasty cheese. I have always enjoyed tres but won't spend another dime in the place. It gets a big fat zero rating.“
