Delicious. Fresh. Plentiful. Enjoyable. It’s clocking.

Came here last Friday with my boyfriend for our date night and the service was horrible. We arrived around 8pm and for whatever reason the staff was rushing us to pay our check. It was very uncomfortable and disappointing. They closed at 11pm so I’m not sure why they were rushing us. There were other parties seated but it was pretty empty. We will not be back.

This is a very generic run of the mill Mexican restaurant with bad to mediocre food. The portions were large, but it was a lot of things I didn’t care to eat. The mole sauce was so sweet that it bordered on dessert. The chile relleno seemed like it came out of a freezer. Shrimp zarandedaos dish was one note and anemic. Overall, my spouse does not agree with my assertion that the food seemed like it came from a distributor, but neither of us would go back. Atmosphere was typical. Service was fine.

The restaurant itself is nice and clean, and the servers are friendly and helpful—which I appreciate. Unfortunately, the food just doesn’t deliver.

The “table-side” guacamole was way too salty for my taste—and despite the name, it wasn’t made at the table. The salad felt like an afterthought: generic ingredients, lukewarm dressing served in a plastic single-serve container, and what seemed like pre-sliced, packaged avocado.

All in all, it was a disappointing food experience. Great service can only go so far when the meal itself falls flat.

I ordered food to go and it was terrible. I got Chiles Rellenos and Enchiladas Supremas. The ingredients tasted cheap and the meat had no flavor. Chips and salsa were great as was the horchata.
