The place is really beautiful! But, there is no private parking, the waitress takes hours to bring the order, they serve everything in PLASTIC, they bring the order incomplete, and the food doesn't taste good! In conclusion, it is a good place to take photos nothing more.

Ate inside which I wish we were outside because eating in a dive bar isn’t the best time. The servers were friendly and the food came out quick. The food was OK. The portions were slightly larger than what I expected for the price. Parking is not nearby, 1-2 blocks away.

We went here for dinner last night, let's start with the fact that you do not even have the option to sit inside, you are forced to eat your dinner outside. So the waitress comes over and proceeds to see us at picnic tables with benches attached to the tables meanwhile I'm wearing a lace dress and heels and she expects me to straddle this bench in order to sit down so we asked if there were any tables with chairs she said yes but they were in the other section is closed for no reason so eventually she decided that we can sit over there tastes over there the place is dark as night, you can't see your hand in front of your face. As we are walking to the table there's a giant tree in the middle of the walkway with no fence around it no lights on it no warning and very low very thick branches. My husband split his head open on the branch because we didn't see it because there's no lights except for a very small strand that goes around the top of the entire fence, the waitress acted like she didn't even care all she said was oh wow I'm sorry. So I ordered our meals they bring over our appetizer with the chips that are so thick and so hard your cannot even bite through them. So then our meals come, there are two sauces on the plates we ordered street tacos, again I reiterate that you can't see anything because of how dark it is, the waitress doesn't bother telling us which sauces what or warning us that's a hot sauce is about 7 billion and four scoville units! It is literally so hot my husband has a blister on his tongue today from it and he only had a drop just to test it thankfully. 20 minutes later the waitress returns to see if everything is okay, not once asking if his he's okay since he hit his head do we need anything, nothing because she's in such a hurry to rush back over to the two guys at the bar that she was busy talking to. By now we've had just about enough and are ready to leave but can't get the waitresses attention because not only is she completely busy with the two gentlemen sitting at the bar but it's so dark she can't even see us! So I get up to go get the check, almost all of her I don't even know what because once again still can't see anything even though I'm using my phone as a flashlight. I got to check ask her for some boxes and as I glance over the check just to see that everything was there and you know nothing was crazy out of whack on the bill, I realize the beverages we ordered, non-alcoholic beverages I might , came to $13 for two 12 oz cans of Coca-Cola and a 4 oz glass of orange juice! The food itself was okay at best but as far as the atmosphere and the service, it was absolutely horrible! Now I know why the place was completely dead! Awful experience and we definitely will not be returning!

Absolutely love this place it ruined all other Mexican cuisine for me and my wife it makes la tolteca taste like microwave food I wish I could give way more stars
I made reservations for 12 people on a Saturday at 12:30 following a graduation ceremony. When we got there the waitress told me she gave our tables away by mistake. Not a problem until i was told she was the only one working. She offered 2 other seating arrangements that would not fit our amount of people. Who only has 1 waitress working when you are expecting a reservation of 12 and possible walk-ins?? We waited about 10 minutes for seating to be set up but she did nothing but talk with the other customers. She clearly wasn't able to give us the appropriate serving time so we found another restaurant that easily accommodated us, even last minute. Not what we wanted on a day of celebration!

The food is very bad, they make it like something out of one, & the drink glasses are very small for being so expensive??♂️the atmosphere is nice and calm, but the food ufff how disgusting?

The outdoor space is very relaxing. It is hard to believe that your are in Wilkes Barre City. The food is fresh and the frozen Margaritas have a kick to them (watch yourself). Excellent! They are expanding and this mural is breathtaking. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. It is like 3 dimensional. I thought at first it was a statue! The owner is always around to chat. He is the greatest guy. I love to support him!
Found legit enchiladas de Molé, last night, in Wilkes-Barre PA. Everything was fresh and delicious.
Searching for authentic Molé: Down in southern Texas? Out West? "throw a rock, find a place." But, not something I find as often, in Northeast Pennsylvania. Not to be taken for granted. Gotta come back and try the rest of the menu.
* there was considerable amount of time, spent waiting for the waitresses to visit/return-to the table. I was hungry, (potentially hangry) and once the food arrived, the experience turned itself around. * ate an $18 entrée with cheap flexy plastic cutlery ?
If time is a factor: consider waiting a long time to order a beverage, have it delivered to the table, and/or be asked what you'd like to order.
If paying restaurant prices but eating it with cheap, outdoor picnic cutlery where the knife bends while you cut something, and you might as well just eat it with your hands... is going to bug you? This is a consideration.
The food? Is really, really good. So good that I'll overlook the other stuff and go back, & repeatedly!
