The drinks are good. The food is meh. Served stale chips and guacamole lacking flavor. Our mains were fine. And service is hit and miss. First time was amazing. The second was basically non existent.

Had a lovely time! The food was so delicious and tasted authentic as someone from Mexico myself. The sangria is perfect! Thank you so much for the phenomenal dinner and drinks.

Boston was an underwhelming experience but this place was the highlight of our trip. Felt like I was eating my moms frijoles and arroz. I asked for an elote but got esquites instead, and I’m glad I did! It satisfied my pregnancy craving for the authentic taste! I’m about to force my husband to make the four hour trip here just to eat their food again and try something else in the menu. They also accommodated our daughter and were very kind to us.

I visited your restaurant on a very hot day 96 degrees outside and took an Uber all the way from Cambridge just to try your food, since I don’t have a car. When I arrived, I was told the cook wasn’t there and to come back at 4:30 PM. I made the trip again at 4:30, but there was still no cook.

This experience was disappointing, unprofessional, and a waste of time and money. A restaurant should always have a cook available during operating hours. I was really looking forward to trying your food, but unfortunately this left a bad impression.
