“Hands-down one of my favorite spots in town! The food is always incredible — specifically the carnitas! Everything i have tried was incredible, AND they even serve micheladaS.

I came by for Cinco de Mayo and they had live music. You can really tell they put care into creating a great atmosphere.

The service is just as amazing as the food. The staff is always so kind and welcoming. One time I accidentally left my leftovers behind (which are sacred to me), and one of the staff literally chased me out to the parking lot to return them.

Great food, great music, amazing people — 5 stars all the way!!!!!“

I personally recommend the nachos, queso, chimichangas, tacos and fajitas (chicken and steak). Oh yeah, burritos and enchiladas too. Can’t really miss with anything you pick. The rice is seasoned so well and always look forward to it. I’m a fan.“

“Absolutely the worst experience! I've never made a bad review because everyone has a bad day but this was so over the top, they deserve it! Party of 9. The waitress didn't understand anything! 2 of 9 ordered coke zero, all 9 received coke zero. Tried to explain, she literally brought our more coke zero. The food was brought out 7 of 9 was wrong. I then went to get the Mgr. He kind of fixed some food. She didn't deserve our tip that was added on!“
