“It wasn’t a bad experience by any means, but it also wasn’t one that really stood out or left me excited to come back quickly.
Starting with the food: it was okay, but not great. The portions were decent and everything came out hot and fresh, which is always a plus. The flavors, however, were fairly average. Nothing tasted bad, but nothing really impressed me either. It felt like standard Mexican fare without much depth or uniqueness, good enough to satisfy hunger, but not memorable. I didn’t find myself thinking about any particular dish afterward, which usually says a lot.
The service was about on par with the food. The staff was polite and did their job, but there wasn’t much warmth or attentiveness beyond the basics. We weren’t ignored, but we also didn’t feel especially welcomed or checked on. Everything moved at an acceptable pace, just nothing that stood out as exceptional.
The atmosphere is where things slipped a bit more. The heat inside the building was turned up too high, which made it uncomfortable to sit and enjoy the meal. Combined with that, the restaurant felt a little dingy and worn. It wasn’t dirty, but it could definitely use some updates and better temperature control to make the space more inviting.
Overall, it’s an okay spot if you’re nearby and craving Mexican food, but there are probably better options if you’re looking for great food, standout service, or a comfortable dining environment.“

We were there just about 15 minutes before the lunch crowd, so we thought the food would at least be warm...“

Great team you have!“
