Went to visit the Lake so I needed to find something to eat. I wanted Mexican, everyone was nice. That was the first best Mexican I've tasted, it was better than I had where i live I will be going back.

Went there on May 5th for Cinco de Mayo for dinner! We loved it!! Yes it was busy but that's what made the experience great! Shout out to all the employees! You all were working so hard to accommodate everyone. Birria tacos & frozen margaritas were fantastic!!
May 2025
There fish tacos add pineapple is the absolute best. There tres leches is lite, healthier then most - it’s just right for me. This is my little hidden gem, and after work spot. Definitely if you’re ever in North Charlotte or near Birkdale - I think you should try it out :)
