Ordered from UberEATS around 7 PM on a Wednesday. We had an order of Al pastor tacos, lengua tacos, a chicken burrito, a chicken Milanese for lunch the next day, and a horchata. The tacos come with two tortillas, which is too carb-y for me but no biggie - I usually just take one off. The al pastor was pretty good but the lengua was bland. Although the green sauce and hot sauce it came with helped, I probably wouldn't order these again. I was pleasantly surprised by the chicken burrito. It's about half the size of ones at similar Mexican restaurants but at least it tasted better. They take the time to press the burrito here. It could have used more chicken though, as it was mostly filled with rice. Avoid the horchata. It was way too sweet and cinnamon-y.Still on the fence if I would order here again, but it satisfied the Mexican craving that night.

Decent place to grab a drink. I felt the drinks didnt have the right kick at first n ask the bartender to plz make over and it came out balance which was much better. I seen a few ppl sent their drinks back too. The staff was nice. Food came quick. Birthdays are cute and personalized. Nice backdrops for photos. Section in the back with the roses is sooo cute and romantic/ girly. The bathrooms are neat and clean. The music was very loud may bother some tryna hold a conversation with guest. They have live karaoke. Dj played mainly spanish music which was a majority of the crowd. Dj kept them going it was fun to watch and he seemed to enjoy. Parking is a bit difficult only street parking offered.

A very clean place with good service, the food ?? is less extensive, the only thing I would change is the volume of the music, although I think it's just my taste, it doesn't affect others but 10 out of 10

If you look for authentic Mexican food, this is not the place ? I'm very disappointed ? I asked for a quezadilla al pastor, they bring me tacos with lettuce, cream, and cheese. My husband asked for a torta and the bread was to old that he can't even eating it. Prices to expensive on my opinion. You be looking for parking more than 20mn.?

Solid 3.5- the vibe is cool in here- great lighting and nice decorations. Came on a Sunday night and it was pretty empty. So the service was great obviously, idk about it when it's packed. I'll start with drinks- has the tour of Mexico- drinks were a 3 not bad not great. Guac was a 3 nothing too special. Now the food- had the whole fried fish enchipotlado the Sauce wow 5 STAR!!!! Sauce was amazing- the fish was a 2.5. The green sauce they had was also really good. Somebody come here and try that sauce with some shrimp cause that fish was too mediocre to try again. Would give it one more try but wish it was better.

Nobody was in there when we arrived. Service was not the greatest. Sitting on your phone across the bar is also not so appealing for an establishment, especially that gratuity is added to any person walking in. The drinks were not good, whatever mango purée they use is thick and just to sweet and tart. Salsa was literal watered down tomato juice. We visit rests from all over the states and even tho we live close we will never return here again. Whoever is managing this place needs to train bartenders and servers how to provide hospitality and not be lazy because the tip is included, and maybe then will your rest be busy everyday of the week not just weekends.

The drinks were very good, but I didn't like the food, but the waitress was very attentive, it's a shame that the food was very bad.
