Finally found a great Mexican restaurant. This has to be the best Mexican food I’ve had in years and years. I had the chicken quesadilla and my wife had the Birria beef quesadilla. They were huge. We only ate half - we could have split easily. Good news is we have leftovers which I love. The chips and salsa were very good. The hostess and waitress were very friendly. We visited on early Saturday afternoon and it was not busy at all. We sat by the bar area. I didn’t like the fact that the floor was so sticky. I could hear and feel my shoes squeak as I walked. But I heard they use that area as the dance floor so perhaps someone spilled a drink Friday night. But it needed a good mopping. I am sure the waitress and hostess felt the sticky floor. But, the quesadillas were the best I’ve had in years and years. And I am from Texas where Mexican food is king. This beats them all hands down. I would give it a 5 if the floor had been cleaned.

Had a door dash to pick up very simple order. Waiting over 15 minutes. If you order door dash do not expect it on time because they are slow at processing the

Back for a second visit. Tried the birria pizza this time. Got the medium. And was huge. May have to see how big the large is next time. It was amazing. Believe I'm going to have to try every birria dish on the menu. The Alambre is on my list of things to try too. It sounds like it would be tasty. Queso was on point. Margaritas were excellent. Good service. A little slower than last time. But not bad considering the place was completely packed with large groups and a party. So, wasn't bad at all. The gf had fajitas. They were great. She ate on them for 3 days. So good size portion.

The food was outstanding. I had the Birilla Burrito and I don’t think I ever had any better. We went early in a Friday night. 6pm and it was completely dead. Maybe it’s more of a late night place ? Or maybe the rainy weather had something to do with it. I can’t believe it’s because of the food though. The other five dinner guest with me also enjoyed their meals. Also , they had BOGO Margaritas that night and they were delicious. Definitely would go again

After ordering we wait 45 minutes for our food. The food wasn't what we expected my husband chicken was over cooked but cold the mushrooms burnt, refried beans was old.i ordered chicken nachos they was just plain tasteless. Our daughter got a chicken taco with rice. The taco had stuff that didn't even come in it which she ended up not eating. We didn't finish any of our food. They wasn't even busy there was 2 other tables both already had their food and drinks. And I'm pretty sure we was over charged or they included the tip for you. Both things me and my husband ordered was $14 our daughters was $5 and some how ended up being $60. It was the first and last time we will ever be eating there. The waitress wasn't all that great either we was going to get tea and she said they didn't have any we really didn't want soda. We later heard that they had lemonade we would have ordered but she didn't even offer drink options either

The drinks are tasteless food was gross the chips where stale and the salsa cold and too cilantro took forever and on top of it all from the food being bad it was expensive as a higher end restaurant with low quality and small portions would not recommend to anyone definitely will not return.

I came here with a reservation for my birthday because I wanted to try a new restaurant. Overall the experience wasn’t that bad but also wasn’t blown away. First issue is that our table wasn’t ready for the reservation and the staff didn’t seem to know what time our reservation was for. However, they put the table together quickly!It seemed like there weren’t that many servers, so it took a while to get drinks or any food ordered. We ate chips and salsa for maybe 30 minutes before we got food ordered. The salsa was delicious though! When we got our food, it all looked good. I tried the birria tacos and the carne asada. The birria tacos were okay, not the best and the carne asada was very dry. We almost finished all of our food before we got any of our alcoholic drinks. When we got our drinks, the server didn’t know what the drink flavors were as he handed them out, so we had to try them all to determine whose drink was whose.Overall, I wasn’t thrilled with my experience, so probably wouldn’t come back again.

We have been several times, this is by far our favorite Mexican food in the area the food is outstanding. I gave 4 stars on the overall just because I think there are some areas that need a little improving but I think this place is great and I think the waitress we had twice when we were there was named Nova she was outstanding! Yesterday we were there and the waitress we had was on the phone when we walked in talking about a bad smell in the restaurant I would say for future discussions I'd take that to the back it's not really something the guests need to here and the floor was extremely sticky. while she was pleasant she didn't make us feel as welcome as Nova had in the past but overall the food is so good it out weighs the smaller stuff. I hope this place is successful and stays around for years to come.
