Food and service here is great! We throughly enjoyed everything from the horchata to the birria tacos! I will definitely come back when I’m in the area :) the steak pablano is definitely a must try!
Was our go to Mexican restaurant for several years. Last night was so convoluted that we won’t be going back. The waitress wrote down the wrong food order for me so when the food arrived only my wife could eat. She had the pollo loco which was an overly flattened fry chicken pancake that tasted like cardboard. When my steak fajitas arrived they looked like no fajita plate if ever ordered. Everything was jumbled up, the meat was overcooked, and the skillet had excessive oil. When I asked where the rice and beans and sour cream were our waitress said it didn’t come with it. I asked her ti bring me the menu. She brought my rice and beans and sour cream along with the menu and of course they come with. The evening was a turn off between the attitude of the waitress and food quality. We’re done here.
Amazing food, but the service was a mess!
The Mexican food here is honestly incredible — fresh, flavorful, and totally worth coming back for. Unfortunately, the service did not match the food at all. My credit card somehow got passed around to three different waiters, none of whom seemed to know who was supposed to charge me. It was awkward and made the end of an amazing meal feel like a bad sitcom. I’ll be back for the tacos, but I really hope they get the service figured out!
A fine Mexican restaurant food and service was very good. No complaints,. I'm just greedy and wish to be blown away at this point. Margarita was excellent. Salsa was thin which I prefer, slightly more heat would be better (really mild as it is, but tasty)
Great service and delicious food

The carnitas are insanely good. Juicy, flavorful perfect best in the area. They never mess a meal up either. They have fantastic margaritas, very good service most of the time. Plenty of choices for everyone.
Parking: Large lot to park in
Wheelchair accessibility: I think someone in a wheelchair would get around easily here.

I’ve travelled all over the continental US and was a regular at some of the best Mexican restaurants in Chicago and Indianapolis and this place rivals all of them
Chips were fresh, perfectly balanced salsa, cheese dip delicious
We got the lunch fajitas and honestly I wish I had of ventured into the more authentic menu because the lunch fajitas were a flavour explosion.
I live in Canada now and this was a real treat for me and my aunt who used to share a regular Friday fun day lunch with me.
The rice and beans were also excellent. Sorry there were no photos because I demolished it the second it arrived
Server was darling and quick.
Prices are excellent even for us with our terrible Canadian dollar.
Restaurant is clean and colourful, fun music at the right level.
I’m afraid I’m going to be coming up with reasons to come back over the border!
Cannot say enough about this place!
Good Mexican food with good service at ta reasoable price and Mexican beers on tap.

The absolute BEST Molcajetes (always with mixed protein for me personally) I have had at any local(ish) Mexican restaurant. 20/10 (yes, really) if you like Molcajetes, you have to try theirs.

First let me say the food was AMAZING! Truly authentic and absolutely delicious! The service wasn't the greatest. They need to work on their timing. I was in a group of 3 and our food came out piecemeal, meaning none of us received our meals at the same time. One of our party ordered fajitas and his meal was brought out in 3 parts several minutes apart. It was very disappointing. Also the restaurant is clean, but it's a cheap fast food feel atmosphere. As much as the food costs, at least they could have tablecloths and nicer decorations. Also the music is way too loud! You couldn't carry on a conversation over dinner hardly without raising your voice to an uncomfortable level. But again, food was great!
