Its not the regular-cheap price Mexican restaurant, but the food is really good and the restaurant is beautiful. The frozen margaritas are excellent! Good portion of food and drink and we had the lucky day of going when the margaritas were buy one and get one free !!!! Wednesdays! Guava and passion fruit were my choices! To eat i had birria quesadilla and sweet plantains. In the picture there's the plantains and my husband's fajitas

We had Tacos of course. They were to die for... super juicy, tender, soft, simply delicious!
The place is super neat, colorful, cool music and bar. Phenomenal ambiance, perfect for dates or big parties.
Service is bilingual and very kind. Love it! 🥰🇲🇽

We ordered 2 mexican salads with chicken $49.66.. Never have we had such terrible salads . How could you mess up a salad? There was nothing mexican about them . The menu
Made it sound tasty. Not quite , the salad was so dry with not enough of there homemade dressing . They should give sides of dressing .. it stated pickled cabbage, and it was just raw red cabbage , also no red onion , and the tomatoes were like tiny bits , and the canned corn was sparce ..like they were on a budget . Everything in that salad is cheap to put
Together. The chicken was tough,and dry,and over cooked that you couldnt chew it. The waiter who checked me out could care less to ask if i needed anything else and left my bag of food on the counter as he tried to figure out how to run my card . Terrible food , terrible exerience . My garbage pail enjoyed our dinner .

Delicious food and gorgeous ambience. Tamarind margarita (tajín rim) is a must!

Food was good, service was good, and location was esthetically pleasing. With that being said the prices are ridiculous even for good food. There’s also a 20% service charge which is not a tip to your server. I hate restaurants like these that try to nickel and dime the patron instead of paying their own employees a fare wage.

Overall, I'm not a huge fan of this place. There are plenty of solid Mexican and Spanish style resturants on long island and this one fell short.
Food was super salty and greasy. The quesadilla was so greasy I had to blot it with a napkin. The nachos were big but not very flavorful.
Service wise the place was empty but was still slow. Our server wasn't rude but you could tell she could care less about helping us out.
Price wise I think it's way over priced and not worth the money. They did some work inside but overall just put a bandaid on the old spot and painted everything exoticly. Would recommend looking for a different spot to try.

It's pretty awful to be completely honest. The service is decent, but food and drinks were underwhelming and overpriced, to say the least. Don't be fooled by 4.6 star rating closer to 3.8 in my humble opinion.

I enjoy mexican food, so I am usually hard to please. I found the food was ok. Wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. The service was fine and the place was nice. I would say to try it, you may like it. Enough people seemed to enjoy based on their ratings.
