All around great experience and meal! I got the Chicken Chimichanga with street corn and yuca fries. The Chimichanga was loaded with seasoned shredded chicken and tasted great! The Yuca Fries were also very good as it was my first time having Yuca. Great food, definitely would go back! The inside has a big full bar and the atmosphere is inviting

Better than I expected.

Food was good, service was prompt. Went in during happy hour on a Thursday and they weren’t busy at all.

Tacos were a little on the expensive side but they did not skimp on portions.
The margarita was just okay, but understandably so as I got their cheapest option. They seemed to have a good variety of cocktails for a place like this.

Would recommend and will definitely be back.

The food was very expensive, cold, and not very good.

Hands down the best Mexican restaraunt we’ve found in Pittsburgh! We order frequently. Amazing service, food, and people. Their food is great even through delivery and they actually go out of their way to follow any order amendments through delivery comments, which does not happen frequently. Definitely a must try!

Unequivocally the best happy hour margaritas I’ve encountered. Not sweet, well made regardless of well-quality liquor. Add great service and fantastic food to it; it’s an easy five star experience.

This is my 2nd time here. First time was a year ago. Both times were take out orders. First time I went food was amazing. This time we just ordered 2 chicken quesadillas. By time we went to pick up our order it was already 5 min past the time they said it will be ready. We sat there for almost 30 min due to them saying they had a catering order to get out. Mind you there were only 6 other customers there. While waiting they didn't offer any chips since we had to wait. Once we got our food, drove 5 min to get home just for my chicken quesadilla to look and taste how it looks. Never in my life have I had a soggy quesadilla, not even from Taco Bell. I'm so disappointed in the lack of quality they gave us. When have you ever been ble to stick a fork in a well prepared quesadilla.

I recently placed a phone order for pickup at this local Mexican restaurant on a Sunday around 1 PM. I ordered a chimichanga and referenced the daily lunch specials listed on their website. The woman who answered (she also bartends and handles to-go orders) told me they don’t offer lunch specials on Sundays. When I pointed out that their website says “daily,” she paused and said she would “go ahead and put it in” as a lunch special. Whether the website is outdated or she was misinformed, I’m not sure—but that was the first red flag.

We then discussed the details of the chimichanga—I even confirmed it came with cheese on top. I also asked for a side of salsa. I was told it would be ready in 20 minutes. When I asked the total, it seemed oddly high—over $15—even though the lunch special is $9.99. I figured it could be clarified in person.

When I arrived for pickup, I asked about the price. She told me I had ordered a “surf and turf burrito.” I was completely confused—we clearly had a detailed conversation about my meal, and that was never mentioned. She admitted to entering the order incorrectly and spent a few minutes trying to fix it in the system. Eventually, she gave me a corrected total.

Here’s where the experience really went downhill:

1. The mix-up delayed my order by an extra 15 minutes—which was frustrating but understandable if handled properly.
2. Despite acknowledging it was her mistake, she still wanted to charge me $2.25 for a tiny 2oz side of salsa.
3. There was no apology, no effort to make things right, no acknowledgment of the inconvenience.

I told her I wasn’t expecting a free meal—I just expected decent customer service. When a business makes a mistake, you’d think they’d try to offer something small as a goodwill gesture, especially something as simple as a side of salsa. But instead, I was met with apathy and what felt like nickel-and-diming over every little thing.

This place has gotten out of control with pricing on add-ons, and clearly they prioritize the transaction over the customer. I’m officially done spending my money at restaurants that don’t value their customers or their experience.
