So nice I had to try it twice. First time was a visit to Richmond. Second was a return after my girlfriend moved there. The food is ALWAYS served hot, the service is excellent, the kitchen gets the job done per usual and the bar tender understands the mission. I went all in on with 6 tacos this time. Tres Monterrey tacos and tres Super tacos plus started with the queso fundido. I punished the queso. Killed 4 of 6 tacos. The portions are all well sized and worth every penny. In addition I had 2 jumbo top shelf margaritas. Buenisimo!!! My girlfriend had the carnita fajitas and she too went to town with a frozen guava margarita. We'll explore more spots but for the time being this will be our number one Mexican restaurant.

This was the best option for me and my family. DELICIOUS food, amazing texture and fresh flavor; absolutely authentic experience. Leticia was our server, and she served us with a gorgeous smile and excellent customer service. She made our dinner all the more worthwhile with her kindness, and got us taken care of in a quickly and orderly manner. Thanks a bunch!! We will DEFINITELY come again! :)Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and LOTS of gluten free options

I came in for lunch with a friend. Both of our meals with a house margarita was about $24-$25.We got our food and drinks really quick and it was definitely fresh. I will definitely be returning. As well as I saw they have different daily specials on their menu so I’ll come back and try those as well.Overall good food, and good service.

This was my first time here. It definitely did not disappoint!!! We had the best server, especially with the large party he was taking care of! Food and drinks were excellent and reasonably priced.

I feel disrespected! We ordered chips and salsa to go. We got home and opened up the bag and they literally gave us about 2 tablespoons of salsa. Total rip off! It was $6.00 for two tablespoons of salsa. Garbage.

Sopa Mixtra is excellent! It was hot when I received it. It is flavorful, great amount of chicken, beef and shrimp and tender vegetables. The addition of the avocado and lime took it up a notch.

I think they mistakenly served me an enchilada instead of burrito for my lunch special. Bummed to see how good the food looks in all the other pictures people are posting but i spend 12 dollars on a really sad tiny tortilla with plain chicken. Not really a review writer but i feel scammed.

Yesterday afternoon it was a busy night We usually go on Saturday mornings. I was with my server “jenni”, she was incredibly nice her positive attitude made our night. She made sure our food && desert (fried icecream) was good. I saw her helping other server clean tables. The serving industry needs more people like her. We felt so welcomed ? 10/10 reccomend great food & good service ??.

We decided to try this place on a whim. The food is tasty and well seasoned. Two of us had fajitas- pork and steak and one had arros con pollo. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. The restaurant and restrooms were VERY clean and up to date. The bar and a couple tables were occupied by people deep in conversation who seemed to be quite comfortable to be there for quite some time. Nobody felt pressured to leave. Cozy place to be in a cold day.

Nice, tasty meal, but not what I would call spectacular for the price. I had the Sopa de mar and once it cooled down enough to eat, the broth was tasty. It had one, may two scallops, maybe two shrimp, and three or four chunks of white fish (I'm guessing tilapia?) Not really what I would have expected for $16.Service was, um, unhurried, even though the place was not crowded.Go at least once and maybe you will love it. Or maybe you will simply say you have been there but prefer elsewhere...

Mr. John, I think his name is a superstar in the restaurant, he goes above and beyond to make sure you're satisfied. Very good food and a very nice atmosphere

Please don't eat here! I went for lunch with coworkers this week. We had a nice meal, & as we were leaving we were approached by the owner who had been at the bar drinking...a lot. At first he appeared friendly & sat down with us. He then proceeded to hug my friend & kiss her on side of her head. She told him not to touch her & he started arguing with her. We told him to leave & we also needed to leave. He became angry & it looked like he had a pocket knife on his side, so we tried to stay calm & not upset him. When we got out of the booth we tried to squeeze past him & he tried to block one coworker from leaving. He then said "are you scared of me?" We told him no & we need to be on our way. Our waitress & a male staff were speaking to him in Spanish & must have told him to stop & let us leave. He still tried to hold us back, but I pushed passed him & said we were leaving. We didn't feel unsafe, but know the situation could have gotten worse. And it is highly inappropriate for the owner of a restaurant to treat patrons like that!
