I have to give this place a shout out! We stumbled upon it after getting my birth control at PP next door. Absolutely loved the food and the service! I’ve been back three times since and have enjoyed everything I’ve tried. My favorite was the carnitas. Very juicy and tender and loads of flavor! Thank you!

The service was great, and I was even able to get a specialty order without any hassle. Margaritas were also very tasty, not too strong, but also noticeably weak. Had a great time, will definitely visit again.

Regulars who go here, say this place is awesome and the food is really good. However my experience was disappointing. I ordered the carnitas, they had more fat than meat. Great flavor, but barely enough to even use the three tortillas they bring you, after you trim the chunks of fat away. In addition, they loaded so much onions on top of the carnitas, I'm not sure if it was to make it look like it was a lot of food? We commented, that my plate looked like an order of onions with a side of meat. They struggled to bring out our food together, brought it out in bits and pieces, while we all sat and waited for each other's food to show up. It was very disorganized. Service seemed disorganized as well. They have a big sign up by the cash register, (instructing the employees) not to call the owner during certain hours, etc. (that's not very professional). Overall, it's probably a good place.? Everyone at our table agreed it was a disappointing experience, that evening. The menu seems to have a lot of interesting variety. They seem creative. But I don't think we will be back. It was cold that evening outside. They struggled to keep the restaurant consistently comfortable. The temperature range from warm and comfortable, to very cold. All of us at the table went through cycles of putting our jackets on, then taking them off. It just added to the overall experience. There's a door in the back of the restaurant that they were going in and out of, and every time they opened it, cold air came rushing through the restaurant.

Yummy Mexican food and AMAZING margs!! This is a go to restaurant for me. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. Chimichangas are my personal fav but you can’t go wrong with anything else

Reasonable prices, especially @ lunch. The service is usually pretty quick(my lunch came out in under 5 minutes). I do think their salsa is good, and the chips aren't too thick.

Ordered 2 poblanos rellenos. which were ok, but nothing great rice and beans were quite good. Then I had the salsa. Little did I know that there was a sharp piece of black plastic in it, which pierced the roof of my mouth. I took it back to them not expecting anything, and told them as much. The supervisor was nice and offered salsa, but then realized, that was why I was standing there. Asked again what he could do. I just said a beer next time would be great. The supervisor said that he couldn't authorize that, and that the manager would need to do that, so he took down my name and number and said he would give me a call. Well apparently it's not ok, which is also ok with me. But to go out of my way to make them aware of a potential bigger issue, and not get a call back was the real sad part. I have plenty of beer at my place, so worries there. This just kind of shows what the manager thinks of their customers. Well Mr(s) Manager, you can have that beer on me. I will be sure to visit El Jarico or Carreta's next time, or maybe Rosalta's or El Maguey. One last thing, please don't call now.
Thank you

Easily our favorite place for Mexican food. The food is always great, but the service has been a bit slower and less attentive lately. I think they're short-staffed?
Regardless, great food and great prices.
