Best Mexican joint in town. As someone of Latin American descent, the food is about as authentic as it gets. I had the birria tacos, and they were delicious. The waiter was very sweet and attentive. The food came out in a timely fashion. Can’t say enough about this place, a wonderful restaurant for casual food and drinks.

Great food served quickly by friendly staff, they make that extra effort to ensure every person is happy with their food.
The Jalisco special is terrific, truly impressive amount of meat of meat (particularly considering the ratio of meat to veggies in the dish, really satisfying).
The house homemade hot salsa is really good, it packs a punch while still tasting great.
Very reasonable prices. Restaurant was clean and inviting....

One of the cleanest restaurants with comfortable seating and great service. Diablo shrimp were good quality and right amount of spice. The 4 enchiladas came in more of an orange sauce than red tomato sauce. Tried something named a micholita I think which had half juice/mix in the beer but the margarita was good.
