Man, my wife was trying to get me out to try this place for the longest time, Honestly, I was Hesitant to go because most Instagram pretty places tend to have the crappiest food but let me tell you Something, I am hard to impress, but this place blew me away the attention to detail from the service to the design floor, and even the restrooms are a blast from Mexico. you can tell that whoever built this place, did it with a very keen attention to detail. The food was everything I expected after being impressed by the location, Tortillas were hot and the Menudo was nice and thick. Experience was close to perfect. I just wish they didnt have canned beverages with no refills, And although a bit pricey, I will definitely come back. PS They have a little store Filled with candies and leather goods so if you have kids Make sure you keep them out or you will end up buying them a pair of boots like I did 😂

The environment was beautiful and loved the mexican interior design even the bathrooms looked pretty with the loteria aesthetic. The food however was bland but i see potential. The fries were oily and stiff in the center. The chicken was stiff and not cooked properly. It may be due to how thick the meat is so it’d be better to thin it out to evenly cook everything. The textured of the rice was mushy but it tasted good. The refried beans were awesome with the corn tortillas. i had high hopes for this Mexican restaurant, but unfortunately didn't live up to the expectation. As someone who grew up eating Mexican food. I didn’t finish my meal and wouldn't consider returning. i hope the business can improve and make adjustments to have the restaurant full with customers.

First time coming here and the employees were very friendly, amazing food. The waiter was very sweet helping us and when we didn't know something she helped us out which I like that a lot. And I would so recommend coming here. I would say now that this well be my #1 place to eat Mexican food. So you guys have to come to this amazing restaurant to eat.

They take forever to serve we wait over an hour and the waitress we had was extremely slow and not attentive at all and I was looking at my food already out to be served and she was over the drinks area wrapping up spoons and forks , that should be done after hours and also the prices are ridiculous for me and my daughter and my grandson $66 dollars mind very basic food and also they make you wait forever to sit us down and mind I put NO TIP at the end mind it was a separate bill they charge us and the other party as if it was big group they placed their tip in there , robbing peoples money and mind you they don’t give you a receipt and I asked and she ignored me I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. Food is good but the service sucks and my food was mild warm not even fresh

Expect to wait a lot! We arrived and had to wait close to 20 min to be seated, we should have taken that as our first sign, but we stayed. After placing our order we waited nearly 2 hours for everyone at the table to finally be served. The waitress hardly attended us, and when she did there was always a mistake. Food arrived cold after all this waiting, honestly very disorganized needs so much improvement would not recommend

Why does it take so long? It was not even busy!
Owners are rude and treat their own Staff like garbage. I would never go here again.
Update 2/22/26: I came back to give it another shot. It was worse. Food was disgusting 🤢. Do not go here. Anita’s is 100% better

First time here and I will say last time here, service was terrible, i ordered a bacon eggs taco for my 2 year old and bacon was raw, I ordered caldo tlalpeño and the chunks of shredded chicken were no joke, I ordered Siberia tostadas, tostadas were full of oil and the shredded chicken was WET, someone just took it out from the water and drop it on the tostadas, NOT EATABLE AT ALL, they forgot the tortillas for the caldo and the Jalapeño for the siberia, terrible service!
Overpriced .
The menus don’t have prices and I didn’t think much of it until we got the bill. Very disappointed -it was our first time here.
