The food was delicious and the portions were ample. We liked the ambience better when it was music rather than TV. The service was attentive without hovering. For dinner, about half the menu was under $20, so if eating on a budget, your options are more limited.

Such a great experience! The restaurant is beautiful, colorful, incredibly clean, and has such an authentic, homey atmosphere. The staff was so friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in.

I had the carne asada and it was absolutely delicious — tender, flavorful, and everything on the plate tasted fresh and homemade. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the food and the restaurant. We’ll definitely be back! ❤️

Make sure you check your order before leaving. We ordered a steak burrito and 3 asada tacos. The burrito didn't have beans or rice, and my tacos were missing onions and chives.

They do give a fair amt of meat, but it was tasteless and dry. Most mexican restaurants food has flavor. Very dissatisfied, food was late when arrived in this area on a Sunday. Only a few choices for food in this location. Price we paid approx $35, kinda pricey for these two items....
