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! 🥰🇲🇽

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.
