Look I like the food I like the drinks it’s a nice place but when u order out and u get muscles why are they putting it into a paper bag like I got home and went to grab the food and it all fell out the bottom of the bag I waisted an hour of my time and I don’t even get to eat the food I just bought

I can’t believe I waited two years to try this spot—it’s literally 2 minutes from where I live, and the food blew me away. I ordered the nachos with chorizo, a torta de milanesa, the rice bowl, and quesadillas. Everything was packed with flavor and super fresh. Prices are pretty much what you’d expect from a solid Mexican spot—around $16 and up—but totally worth it. I seriously regret not coming here sooner. Highly recommend!

Havent been here since my 30th birthday and I missed this place!! The food quality is consistently amazing, and the cocktails are my favorite in the area. Hubby said it was the best birrira ramen hes had , so we will definitely be back soon. I wish i remembered our servers name, she was a sweetheart.i hope they keep the “be mine” drink😅
