Our favorite local Mexican restaurant. We come back here again and again. The food is very authentic and delicious. The drinks are a hidden gem.

Was excited to try this place but quickly went down hill. Got seated right after entering and right away placed an order for drinks and an appetizer ( wings and fries ). Waited 45min for our food, ridiculous wait time and it wasn't even busy at all. We were probably the 3rd table seated in the entire place... And NEVER even got our appetizer during the entire time we were there which was about close to 1hr 45.
Other things during our visit : 👎
1. They don't have any agua fresca options to choose from. ( like seriously ) The only option available was Tamarindo.
2. Got a mojarra... the size of it was so ridiculously small and thin definitely not even worth the wait or the price.
3. They had no barbacoa and decided to tell us after the 45min wait for our food to come tell us they're all out to pick something else from the menu.
4. The menudo was just broth and bones. Literally no menudo in it aside from 2, 3 little pieces.
The only thing that was worth it was the tacos de lengua and asada, and the molcajete dinner. Other than that we were very unhappy with the service. Won't be going back.

Came here on a very busy day that was Father’s Day. I sat at the bar order a beer and knew what I wanted to eat. The server told me right off the bat that it’s gonna be more than 30 minutes for my food to come out. So I decided to stay they all worked their bitts off non stop and stopped to apologize and thank me for being patient for my food to come out.

This is one of our favorite Mexican restaurants - if not the favorite! Every visit has been consistently excellent, with authentic and delicious food that’s reasonably priced.
Service can be a little slow during peak hours, but it’s clear the staff is working hard and hustling to take care of everyone. If you can avoid the rush, the experience is truly outstanding. Highly recommend!

Food was great. Unfortunately we had a female server who was being too friendly with one of the male servers and kept being annoying with our table while we ate. Read the room please. She had her hair in a ponytail tail, red lipstick, and some sort of deep reddish black hair. It was just her and the 2 men. The only man that was professional was the man who had a cap on, gold chain, and he was working so hard the entire time. The other man who was being too friendly with the waitress was running the bar and just looked to be off. At one point it seemed that he took a shot behind the bar. Overall, please teach your staff etiquette on being professionalism and that lady that being inappropriately friendly is not right.
Adorable restaurant. Good food and plenty of parking
muy rico comí una tlayuda muy buen tamaño bien servida excelente el servicio
Ever since I found this place it is my absolute go to restaurant. Authentic Mexican food. By far the best in a 10-15 mile radius! I go there twice a month sometimes more!
The table we were sat at was dirty and we've been here before we know they charge gratuity for large parties. I went alone this time and the girl was being so nice and apologized for a lot which I understand wasn't upset but this one server this guy with glasses looked like he was ignoring me. He tended to everyone else with big parties which I assume they want the tip for and he had many chances to talk to me or even get my check but he walked past me so many times. I get getting bigger parties for tips but it socks that some servers only care about that, I also tip servers it's not like I was being mean I get that it was busy but that one guy was just rubbing me off the wrong way.
