Been here several times, the service is unpredictable, today I stood at the front door for a good 5 minutes there were 4-5 empty tables, out of 4 servers not one even made eye contact, this is the treatment of a beggar.
Took my money elsewhere.

Food okay. Chips and salsa were delicious! Our first time there. Owner did not seem to care when we went to counter to pay our bill. Her daughter was pleasant and inviting. Not our top spot.

The fajitas are next level, and so much food, I could never eat all of it. But I took the leftovers to work the next day and it was still delicious!

The food was average, the service was mediocre and pricing is absolutely RIDICULOUS. For 4 plates, 2 soft drinks and 1 coffee with a bunch of sides I didn’t know they were going to charge 1.99-4.99 for. All of those ended up being $86, after recalculating the total was $74 which made more sense. Three days later, they charged my account $92 and the manager is always unavailable to speak for a refund. How does the total go from $74 to $92 is what I don’t understand. I could understand if it was due to the tip but the tip was left as CASH. If you plan to come here PLEASE be cautious of what they are charging you, they WILL overcharge if they can get away with it. Absolute ridiculous and dishonest way of running a business.

Been here a few times, food is really good. However, the service is HORRIBLE. My family met for breakfast and were immediately met with rudeness. We followed to be seated and were told in a stern tone “you need to stay over there the tables not ready I know you’re hungry”. Every time I have come the workers have been rude and not friendly or inviting but today was by far the worst experience we’ve had. We decided to take our business elsewhere and won’t be returning.

First, if you're coming here for breakfast, be here by 11am. We missed that. The atmosphere is cozy, colorful, interesting, cultural. They're pretty busy at lunch and seem to have "regulars", so I had high hopes for the food.
Now, I judge every Mexican food establishment by a few things right off the bat. Chips should be hot and fresh, salsa should be fresh and homemade and, harder to find but even more important to me, they should have crispy beef tacos made with shredded beef not ground burger. So, the chips here are not served warm, and probably from a bag, but they are ok. Not stale at least. The salsa is awesome. Which is sad to serve with these mediocre chips. They have crispy tacos, but only with ground beef and the very young server didn't offer me any alternatives, so I got the Carnitas instead. They were very good. Really, really good. Decent amount for the price. My partner got the Shrimp El Diablo. About a half cup of fairly small cocktail sized shrimp that looked and tasted precooked and heated, drowning in spicy red sauce. He was disappointed and for $16, we don't recommend it. Also, refills on chips are an additional charge and they ran out of salsa, so no refills on that.
All in all, fun place, but less than average service and hit and miss on food.
Wheelchair accessibility: We actually came in behind someone in a wheelchair and they had no trouble getting in and the hostess seated him in an accessible spot right away.
