Great Mexican restaurant and bar. Been here numerous times for work lunches and parties; they have always been able to accommodate. I have never had anything bad from this restaurant; the breakfast quesadilla is a fantastic surprise as well. Definitely recommend this place.

Went out with a couple of coworkers for lunch. Surprised food was good and service was good. Didn't have one of the huge drinks but they looked refreshing for the size. I will be back for another visit.
September 2026
Really good food for homesick Texan, except for the tortillas, they were meh. The fajitas were delicious and the flavor if the birria was great. The birria wasnt as toasted with cheese, but was good. Consume was flavorful. The beans were delicious and had cheese on them! Al pastor was not good, bland and not memorable. Margaritas and coronarita were reasonably priced. Overall good mexican food.
