Really cool spot, love the atmosphere, really creative outdoor seating. The food was excellent, corn tortillas are some of the best I've had. The nachos were piled high and were not light on toppings. The salsas were good, I plan to return and try more of the menu. The photos don't do it justice but the setting was very cozy. The server was very friendly, very nice bar if you're a drinker.Kid-friendliness: They have some activities for kids.

I can’t say enough about this place. We will definitely be back. Quick, friendly service, great vibe, service is excellent- makes you feel like a VIP. Great music and vibe. Inside, outside patio and bar seating available. Great for date night and even larger parties. Came here around 8:30pm on a Thursday and it was quick seating and service. Quesa barria and Carnitas Nachos are phenomenal. If you go, you HAVE to ask for Elizabeth. She was the bomb and made the experience. You will not regret it!

Where should I start. First of all, I came here with high expectations due to all the positive reviews as you can see under my review right now. Not even five minutes of sitting at our table someone broke Into 3 cars and broke their windows which is insane. The foods was not very good. As a Mexican I was highly disappointed. Al pastor wasn’t good at all , food was a bit salty. Overall I cannot recommend. Service was equally as terrible unfortunately. Never coming here again. I rather go to food truck.

The modern mex city patio boho decor was really nice to see , makes you forget your just off the highway.Sat music started at 7 which gave it a lively feel.Multiple staff were very attentive and happy.The food was good but in my personal opinion the price is really high for quantity.. I see that going out to eat is really becoming a luxury because the queso was mid , and at $11 ...2 tostadas were really good but at $15. I was kind of taken back. Drinks were fresh and tasty but full of ice. At $12. I would go again, most likely during a happy hour. They gave us a complimentary flan for my husbands birthday , and it was our first time there. which was very kind of them.

I’ll give them a 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for their patio! And if I could a ZERO STAR for TRYING to CHARGE $7 for chips and salsa in Houston Tx I would!!!!!!!I I should have known when at 1245 on a beautiful spring day we are the ONLY people there! We ordered 2 margaritas with the intention of ordering more. While waiting on our drinks the first thing on the menu is CHIPS AND SALSA FOR $7!!!! I got up to confirm, yep $7. I canceled the drink order and we went to Lupe Tortillas (cuz we just ate at El Tempo a few days ago)!!!!

We had the tacos, chips and salsa and guacamole. The tacos were pretty good. The salsa was surprisingly spicy and very good. Guacamole was fresh and tasty. The service could have been better, we didn’t have anyone come check up on us and my husband had to get up and tell the waiters what we needed. The place is super cute and love the ambiance. I got a frozen margarita and was pretty good.

The atmosphere of this place is so in tune with the decoration and I loved it! The gentleman Domingo was great to my Dad, my cousin and myself. He was an amazing person and a great server. The quesa birria were to die for !

The food was really really good! We went during lunch at work and we were the only ones so I’d be excited to come back when it’s busier. Service was great

Excellent atmosphere. Domingo and Juana were beyond impressive and courteous. Quick to be of service, engage and answer any questions. They had a private event and still had time and energy to be of service.
