Pleasant surprise! Highly recommend. Reminded me of Three Margaritas in the Denver area. That's high praise!

I never had a problem until today. My wife picked up our orders. I ordered a El Jimador special that usually comes with grilled steak. Chicken, shrimp. Onions bell peppers. Supposed to be on top of rice and have chili con queso. But all I got was just meat no tortillas. No rice. I'm disappointed. El Jimador was my favorite. What went wrong?

Quesabirria tacos is new and needs work. You only get 3, but they are nicely filled, but unfortunately the Cook lacks the skill needed to get them crispy. The consume is terrible, it's just beef broth. No chili flavor at all.

We were there on a Tuesday night. Seated immediately, but took forever to get waited on. Drinks came quickly and were good. Food took quite a while and neither of us were very impressed. Wasn’t terrible, but not good enough for us to return.

Came here for dinner on a Saturday and the parking lot and inside the restaurant was packed. However, we were able to be seated and helped right away. Our waitress recommended the jimador special plate, and I was not disappointed. It comes with steak, chicken, and shrimp on a bed of rice and side of tortillas. The steak was super flavorful and the best part. We also got carne asada tacos which were delicious as well. Prices are very reasonable and everything was great. Highly recommend coming here if you are in the area!
