I’ll get straight to it. The food is awful. It’s just terrible Mexican food. The margarita was bad, I couldn’t finish it. I’ve had better Mexican food out of a drive through. The service was great, everyone was really nice and attentive , the atmosphere isn’t awful, could have been cute if the food was decent.

Nice atmosphere & server…That’s where it ended. They “were out” of the spicy salsa, we were told their $25 fajitas were plenty for 2 to split when there was not even a half plate of them to split. The other half of the plate was rice & beans. The accompaniments (cheese, tomatoes, lettuce) were on an even smaller plate. The fajitas were dry and had little flavor. We ordered fried ice cream for dessert which wasn’t fried ice cream but was corn flakes pressed on the ice cream with our choice of syrup on top. That was unbelievably disappointing. Note-I was at another restaurant days later & ordered the fajitas there. Those were huge, juicy, flavorful & would have actually been more than enough for 2 people to split and cost $7 less than what we paid for. Very disappointing experience and I won’t be back.

Food was solid. I got the tacos and I chose to only get one corn tortilla and the other two flour. The corn tortillas are waaaaay better than flour. Order corn tortillas here 🌽 🌮

Service is friendly

Atmosphere is great: the lights are dim, and they've got a fish tank behind the bar. Probably a good place for a date

My only issue is price. 3 tacos with beans and rice, and chips & salsa was $19.08. A bit much. Other than that this place is decent

Service was friendly and quick. Food was not good. Had tostada beans and rice and a coke $24. Very small portion of beef. Tostada shells were stale. No flavor in rice. Very disappointing.

Great, surprising neighborhood spot on the east side. MASSIVE hit with our kids, and lots to love for non-kids :)

The vegetarian quesadilla has the freshest vegetables and is truly amazing. Great service and atmosphere as well!

Best margaritas in the area, no question. Alan, about the nicest bartender you will ever meet, makes them by scratch. The chorizo tacos are terrific as is the botana. We have had numerous items on the menu and have never been disappointed. The service couldn’t be friendlier. Great little Mexican restaurant outside of Mexicantown.

Service was great, very pleased there.

The food was good, I forgot to request enchiladas with corn tortillas so they tasted a bit tex-mex but it was ok, not spicy which in my opinion could be improved ?️

The place is overall good ?

Something I really liked was their queso... That was better than anticipated to be honest ?
