The birria tacos are outstanding, with an amazing salsa that they served on the side. I liked the iPad menus and the music playing. My only complaint is that it’s severely overpriced.

Stumbled upon this place while waiting for my car to get fixed. Staff was very friendly… the food was excellent! Very authentic and made with love. Ambiance can use a lot of work.

This place is spectacular, with a great atmosphere and excellent service. We went a few days ago, and the waiter Cristhian was very kind and helpful. The food was very tasty. I would definitely come back many more times.
The Piña Colada is delicious. 🍹
