Absolutely love this place and the ambiance!! The Diablo shrimp ricotta was to die for. Drinks and food came very quickly! Awesome prices and wonderful location. If you’re in Dallas, you’ve gotta try it! *chefs kiss*

Amazing food! They even had vegan and vegetarian options so my friend was able to eat more than anything beans, rice and guac! I had the chicken enchiladas with poblano sour cream sauce. Amazing. My husband had the beef fajita tacos. Amazing. The beans here are seriously the best refried beans I’ve ever had! Their queso is soooo creamy and tastes like real cheese! This place is a must if you’re in the Dallas area!

The reservation and seating went flawlessly. The food quality was top of the line. The chef came out and greeted us at the table. The manager came around regularly as well as the server. Even the bus boy asked us how everything was going. We're going back Tuesday to check out their taco promotion. At first I was unsure about the place, due to the low menu prices. We definitely should have and would have happily paid more. Leaves more room for tipping, though!
