Been coming here since they opened nearly every week. Good food, consistent service, a neat menu that is just different enough from typical Tex-Mex (it's LA-Mex) to make with interesting.

Great margaritas. We came in Friday eve for appetizers; 1 dish shrimp quesadillas and 1 dish labeled as sampler appetizer. Everything served was great, with some left over to take home. The salsa with their chips seemed especially fresh and flavorful. Atmosphere became loud and clattery because of hard interior surfaces and also because the place was packed by the time we left!

Great food, varied menu. Fast friendly service. Fair prices.

Food was excellent. Short Hispanic male waiter had a little bit of an attitude, but other than that it was very good! 🎉

Wonderful food and service in a beautiful place. Highly recommend.

Great place for classic mexican dishes with a wonderful caring staff 10/10 come again

my favorite mexican restaurant around! came for the food, stayed for the lovely service. amy is incredible

I ordered a crown and sprite at the bar. They charged me $10 and poured this ridiculous 1 ounce pour (half of the jigger) with sprite. At least if I saw somebody I know, I could tell them I'm not drinking.
The drink is clear. And that's all I have to say, about that.

Maaaaaan lemmie tell you, this is the BEST Mexican restaurant around here. The margaritas (on the rocks) will knock you on your butt :) Big Sur fajitas, the flautas, the enchiladas tricolor and the 6 wonders salad are my favorites. Imma be upfront, in general, I hate beans but this the ONLY place I eat beans, they're fantastic. When the Israelites talked about Manna from Heaven I really think they were talking about Chivos frijoles charros; it's really that delicious and remember, I'm a certified bean hater. The free bean dip and the salsa with chips are both so yummy also :)

The churros are the kind with filling in the middle. D I V I N E.

My only disappointments are the churriqueso, it's incredibly yummy but it's really runny and it makes eating it pretty messy. Maybe that's why it's so much more runny than other places, the flavor is just too much to contain. Okay and disappointment #2 and maybe they'll take this as a hint... there's no tres leches cake :( :( :( i mean i honestly shouldn't be so upset because Id want to get it every time and that's not good for my waist (eheheheee) but like i just know it'd be the best tres leches cake I'd ever have in my entire life and my soul utterly yearns for it. I'm going to try my best to manifest it so we can all have it in our lives.

Anyway, thats my review, food is great and the atmosphere is great and the wait staff is wonderful. I have a favorite waitress and so will you!
