Beware of Darkness

I met up with a buddy here for lunch. It was really good! Nice authentic Mexican food, not Tex-Mex Taco Bell style. I got the chicken chimichanga meal, and it was excellent! The complimentary chips and salsa were good as well. I'd definitely give this place a try again in the future!

The food was amazing and very good quality. The staff was welcoming and very friendly. They let us sample the chapulines and I found a new favorite snack.The Hispanic music was a wonderful addition to the environment. The enchiladas here were the best ive ever tasted, they were fresh and with handmade corn tortillas, covered in a beautiful black mole sauce with fresh crumbled queso and cilantro, not your average sloppy mush enchiladas that are smothered in canned "enchilada" sauce. Yolanda was especially great! She took the time to chat with us about oxacan food and culture. Prices were great for the servings. My fiance and I had a wonderful time here and will definitely be back!

The food is definitely worth going back for! The service was shaky because our waitress and I didn’t speak the same language, which made for a mistake with my order. The atmosphere is just okay. (It’s cuter outside than on the inside.) I recommend the tamales. The dinner didn’t come with beans and rice, as I was accustomed to, but I’ll definitely go back, because the food was so good!

Very good food, homemade salsa and good chips and Queso that is NOT watered down. But you have to find it!Great burritos and nice shrimp and chicken dish plus drink specials. They also have Taco Tuesdays with 0.99 cent tacos grilled or fried.Recommended local place!Kid-friendliness: Games and a fun atmosphere for bambinos.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. Service was fantastic. We couldn't have asked for a better server. She was on top of everything! The food was fantastic! We got the Arroz con pollo and Carnitas as our main and shredded chicken nachos as our appetizer. They gave us chips and salsa to start, and the salsa was by far the best salsa I've ever had. Everything was great! I'm not sure why this place wasn't completely packed!
