Went first for take out, then followed with a dine in visit. Yes I am a gringo from Yankee territory that was transplanted here, but I as a retired chef, I love food from everywhere, when its done right.
That said, overall my Google rating is 15/15, no my personal rating.
Again this is PERSONAL rating. They were 14/15. Service and atmosphere were top notch. Everyone there is amazing. They lose 1 star in the food category, FOR ME, based solely on the menu. For me, it is built for American taste. Their menu items are adaptations, built to suit a traditional American idea of Mexican food. I had the Birria Tacos (take out) and a combo dish of steak chicken and shrimp, which I turned into tacos. The flavors were there, but built around an American palate. That is not a bad thing, nor should you not go there. The do use the 2 biggest ingredients known to traditional Mexican food...LOVE AND PRIDE. Their Salsa bar (in house) is why ill never do take out again. Next time I go, which will be soon, im going to fast for 48 hours before, so I can take full advantage of my digestive system, regardless of cost. HIGHLY recommended!

It has a salsa bar, it's has different heat level sauces. The staff is friendly and accommodating to large crowds. Parking is a little tricky because it's in a shopping center.

They accommodated a large walk-in party very quickly. Food was pretty good, service stayed on top of things. HUGE projector screen for sports if you're into that. Limited beer options but great cocktails

Tonight: Stale chips, chewy chicken, overly sour margaritas. Brought all of our meals out at different times too. This place is super inconsistent.

Food is overpriced and bland. Service has gone downhill.
And a piece of advice, just because one doesn’t look like they speak Spanish, doesn’t mean they don’t understand it, so be careful when talking about one’s child infront of them thinking you are in the clear.

WARNING: This is NOT authentic Mexican food. Chips were stale and food was bland. Pretty sure the sauce used with the burrito was marinara sauce… the burrito was a tortilla roll up with meat in it.
