I was honestly shocked at how fresh, perfectly cooked and tasty every dish was. I’m telling all my friends, I’ll be back and I consider this the best TexMex or maybe LaMex?, I’ve ever had (Lakeview location, I’ve not yet been to Gretna or French Market).

I ordered the table side guac and the Stuffed Poblano with chicken added on. Mmmmmm, the sauce! So good!

I ate too fast to take pictures.

I had beef quesadillas, they were honestly awful, the meat tasted expired and they dripped copious fat. We were not brought water. My partners had mixed grill, and said it was good. They had to request steak knives. The place was very loud and we could not hear each other talk short of screaming, not a relaxing experience.

the ambience is meh. cute but nothing noteworthy. the food seems lackluster. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Puebla, but it looked and tasted like frozen Tyson chicken tenders covered in molé. our server was very lovely!
