Ordered a bunch of items and not even one of them tasted good. Even the complimentary nachos were undercooked.

Definitely a nice Mexican restaurant for adults and kids alike. They had many food options, ambiance was great. They were busy so we had to wait for our food but nothing that bad. The taco that I ordered definitely made up for the wait time.

Perhaps Mexican food isn't very popular in my area but this place is great! We frequent here and are always able to get a table quickly and some tasty Mexican food! Great karaoke night as well!

Nice looking restaurant so I decided to get lunch from them. Huge mistake. The most disgusting burrito I ever had. Never had a burrito like that everything about it was bad. The rice tastes microwaved & the portion is comical the only thing that is edible is the beans. THE MOST DISGUSTING BURRITO I EVER HAD I honestly feel sick . I honestly feel like this food was cooked by a public school cafeteria cook no way a chef cooked this terrible. I can write a book on how bad this was . The red sauce on top of the burrito tastes like Tostitos salsa from the supermarket or something very disgusting.

I came here to review for what I thought was the first time, but obviously it wasn't. I see that is still a solid Mexican option almost a decade later. We were seated fairly quickly for an early Sunday dinner. They were able to accommodate a party of about 6 children and 5 adults very quickly. Josh was our friendly and thorough server. Great job, Josh. LOVED my prickly pear margarita... soooooo delicious! I ordered two and wanted a third but didn't want to seem like a lush lol. The green salsa is still hittin, and I took another pint to go! My enchiladas were delicious... and the rice and refried beans that comes with it is really tasty and plentiful. Can't wait to return! Maybe for Margarita Monday!

Food IS NOT MEXICAN, avoid at all costs if you are in the mood for actual Mexican food or come on in if you want American food posing as Mexican. We ordered chori-queso as an appetizer and it was velveeta cheese spread with crumbles of italian sausage..not chorizo. Then we ordered chorizo tacos and they all had italian sausage, NOT CHORIZO, and they had the same cheese spread inside. Overall NOT MEXICAN AT ALL…. stay away… and dont get me started on the atmosphere… THUMBS DOWN!

The food was delicious, I had the fajita and the presentation was awesome. My waitress, Jamie, was beyond impressive she was quick, effective and very kind. She made the experience way better. Their cocktails were very affordable as well.

We had a great time! Our server Jamie did an amazing job. She made sure we were taken care of and was just a sweetheart. Would totally go back for food and to get served by her again.

One of my favorite restaurants. They were always consistent with quality of service and food. Going at the earlier times was most helpful as it wasn’t so busy. But even at the busy times, it was still a great experience.

This place is blah on a Monday night. We came in for the 1/2 price margs. Two of us ordered frozen margs before we were told the machine was down. Then towards the end of the meal we noticed the table next to us had frozen margs. Also our appetizers came out the same time as the rest of our meal. At that point we wished we would've not ordered them in the first place. Overall not terrible but not the best experience don't think we will be back.

Sat at the Bar with the pleasure of having an attentive and well-informed bartender, Andrea.I ordered a frozen strawberry margarita with a habanero tanteo tequila floater. Great amount of spice with a hint of sweetness. I ordered Chorizo tacos but loved the idea of the street-style taco tapas, so I went with a chorizo street-style taco. Fantastic, props to the chef in the back. Can't beat the atmosphere for a quick lunch. Easy in, easy out. Will definitely be back.

The green sauce with the chips was awesome. The quesadilla were good. The beef tacos we good also. Baja bowl was really good. The beans were better with the Baja bowl, then the beans that came with the quesadilla. The rice wasn't awesome. Go double beans . The Vegan and vegetarian options were plentiful. Pricing was fair. Overall experience was really goodVegetarian options: Baja bowl...
