We used to live close by and I have been daydreaming about coming back to this place for a couple years 😂 it did not disappoint! The service in the bar area got a little spotty when they were busy but the food is always delicious. The chips and salsa are amazing, the combo fajitas are fire, and the chicken enchiladas with vaquero sauce slap! Don’t skip out on the smoked tortilla soup and thank me later.

We went on a Sunday early evening. There was a group if young children having a little too much fun. Somewhat loud. Otherwise, the service was good. Anyways, we'll be back.

Love this place. Great prices, great food and the portions are huge! They use high quality ingredients and it shows in the flavor and presentation. Sunday all you can eat brunch is phenomenal. Chorizo Mac n cheese is mind blowing. Staff is very friendly. Fave place to eat when I'm in Austin area.

We had a pre-wedding gathering of 24 people. Natalie and Jorge took exceptional care of our rowdy, constantly moving guests and up and down group. They were very professional and if they were annoyed by us they hid it well. I have been in the service industry and these two were some of the best. The food came out hot and delicious. They were on top of the drink orders and kept up with water and any needs we had- all done with smiles in their faces. Everyone in attendance had all positive things to say from the ambience to the personalities of the servers. Well done!!!

Dietary restrictions: The preselected menu had wonderful options for every palette .

Just ate with a fairly large group and had a great experience. Kobe was our server and he was extremely attentive, kind, and timely. The fresh guacamole he made at our table was an awesome bonus. Can’t wait to bring even more back soon! Also if you guys could get some red beans and rice on the menu that would be great!!

Wait staff was multitasking and got us seated right away. Food was very good, service was very good! No complaints! Trail of lights was a logistics nightmare so we spontaneously went for Mexican instead.
