Unique place, don’t expect authenticity, good food (Picture is after I messed with the burrito and took a bite of the plantain). Got to taste Mexican flag, shrimp tacos, veggie burrito, platanos and coconut flan. All main dishes were tasty but would not recommend the coconut flan. Also the salsa for the appetizer is really good.Vegetarian options: Not many items on menu as vegetarian dishes. I just had to ask to hold the meat, food still tasted very good.
Drink Ginger Tamerinda was all ice, I took picture. Black beans cool not warm at all Cheese quesadillas was single quesadilla 8” with small scoop sour cheese, guacamole and pico for$16. Vegetarian tacos were so small and they hardly had any stuff in them. But the. Chili Rellenos was delicious.

The portions were small but the food tasted great. This was one of the worst serving experiences I’ve ever had. Our server rushed us through the entire meal and when anything was requested, it was either completely forgotten or took far too long. My husband asked for hot sauce for his meal and our server took 10 minutes to get the hot sauce. When our bill came out the server had upcharged us for the hot sauce without letting us know. When my husband asked about it, the server was absolutely no help. When the server dropped the check back off, he dropped it on the table with an attitude. Customer service is a huge part of the restaurant experience, and it’s sad to say the abhorrent service outweighed the food. We will not be back.

Good food. Cool atmosphere. They close early -like 9- and basically ran us out without saying “please leave”. Go early if you are slow to finish food when you are with family and friends and might linger.

Uggh—what's happening at this location? Food was simply not good and we've been regulars for years, we know how things usually taste. Gloopy cold queso, flavorless meat, orders wrong, etc. Just a mess.
Came to store an hour and a half before closing and they wouldn’t let us in. They need to update their hours if they intend on closing before their posted online closing time.

Disappointed in the lack of dedication towards serving customers. Today was the second day I tried to dine here and they were closed early. Hours online AND on the door said they closed at 8:30, unfortunately when I tried to enter at 7:30, the door was locked. A staff member opened the door and said they closed early. When I asked why all he said was he was informed by the manager to close at 7:30. The dining room had other patrons eating. If you don’t get busy after a certain hour then adjust your hours

Thursday night dinner:Colorful decor in the restaurant with good music playing. Comfortable high booths.Food was good, a little spicy on certain items.Attentive service with the refills.Kid meals get the full galore with a dessert (ice cream).During the holidays - you don’t have to pay for parking on the street.
