The yum yum I mean bang bang shrimp was so delicious! The margaritas are some of the best I’ve had. The Norteño salmon entree, chicken croquettes & shrimp quesadilla were so so good! Great vibe, too!

Service was great, food was mid. On the plus side, they do mojitos with fresh mint

Terrible food, terrible drinks.
The lychee martini tasted so bad.
The actual lychee tasted like an sour alcohol pad.
Slider was awful. Meat was bland.

Everything looks good, just doesn’t taste like where it’s from. Spicy (hot) does not mean good.

I was willing to not do a review until I discovered a “Technology Fee 3.50%” added to my bill without my knowledge. This is why I always get a copy of the receipt when I tap to pay.

Left a bad taste in my mouth.

Vegetarian options: There’s some.

The pictures were dark, but the food was DELICIOUS! I’m from Peru and that Peruvian ?? rice was authentic! The 6 of us loved every bite. We finished all of our food and didn’t even need to-go boxes. I had, Ropa Vieja con Pico de Gallo and the flavor was so good. Also, how did they make such amazing black beans? Really though!

this burrito did not have cheese or pico del gallo in it and there was so much oil it had what appeared to be clear vegetable oil leaking out. not even greasy which I have had greasy in all kinds of good ways but OILY. I think the chef forgot to put pico del gallo in and instead put canola oil. the burrito was $23.00 with tax & tip (and unfinishable).

staff extremely nice. restaurant good vibe. friend recommended the food - said it was the best they've had. friend needs to try more places.

I attached photos so you could see that the oil turned the paper towels translucent.

Opentable Diner

Really wanted to love it. The first time we went we one of two tables on a Wednesday night and had a great time so giving this place a 3. Not sure if they were having an off night or what. Staff were friendly but not quick. Margaritas took 20 mins to get to our table and then they weren't even correct. The food was okay but my boyfriends rice was over cooked (it was crunchy) which was just disappointing and some things were cold, others were hot. We got two drinks, chips and guac, plus two entrees and it was $87 which just seemed so pricey for what we got. They also do a 4% credit card fee now that they don't tell you about until you go to pay...we would have brought cash if we had known. Overall just left us disappointed!

First time coming here with the girls and as soon as I took a bite of the chips and guacamole I fell in love. The food was tasty, the atmosphere was so chill and our servers were always checking in on us and very friendly! The tres leches cake is the best I've ever had too. Definitely coming back again!

The service was good but the food was horrible. The chicken tinga burrito tasted like wet, unseasoned chicken salad and the quesadilla tasted like hospital food. Not worth it for the price, especially since we were craving real Mexican food or at least texmex

Food is fine, service is terrible. Check comes with an automatic 20% tip so waiters don’t really care about providing good service. Had to ask several times for more water at the table as he kept forgetting. Also asked for another of a side order and had to remind them twice. There were only four tables at the restaurant so it wasn’t like they were busy. An automatic 20% doesn’t give incentive to provide even just adequate service.

Terrible service over the phone. And the guy hung up on me when I asked one simple question. Then when I called back he sent me to voicemail. Lucky I didn’t come inside and make a scene
