We have eaten here a few times and it's always delicious. I just had my baby shower here and it was absolutely perfect. All of my guests raved about the food and they were more than accommodating. They allowed us to bring in a sweets table and set up a mimosa table. It would highly recommend them for any event.

This place was one of the best until they decided to mess with my food. I was really disappointed to see the poor quality of food they served. People just make sure you check your food before you leave the restaurant and double check they gave you everything you ordered.

First time eating here but will not be the last. Loved the food, great service good vibe in the place. I had the tacos went with a steak, carnitas and el pastor. El pastor was not my favorite but loved the steak and carnitas. Loved the beans, guacamole and carrots and peppers they brought out with salsa. Wife had chicken taco and tostada and they were very tasty. Tacos are the authentic street taco kind , will be torn between the steak and carnitas next time.

This establishment is a lot bigger than it appears to be from the outside, and is also nicely decorated. I really like the openness and contemporary decor. The bar is big, well stocked and it has plenty of TV's, so you can watch your favorite sports game. Unfortunately the tacos where a big disappointment for me, completely bland, flavorless and very small. The only consolation I have, is that I tried them on a day when they only cost $1.00. I'll definitely have to try something different, if there's a next time. The best part where the free chips & salsa, they're good.

Authentic Mexican Restaurant with a rich menu. As soon as we had seated, they served chips, salsa, pickled carrots and onions. We ordered steak fajitas, steak tacos, and chicken taco 🌮 dinner. Steak Fajitas came all sizzling hot and plenty of steak, veggies in it. The meat was so tender, and veggies were perfectly cooked. The corn tortillas came all buttery and warm😋. Tacos were delicious. Prices are more than reasonable. The environment was pretty clean, and ladies who served us were friendly. I will definitely visit back when I am hungry for more Fajitas.

I go here almost weekly for their $1.50 tacos and $5 Margaritas every Tuesday/ Thursday. Friendly staff. Delicious food. Yummy drinks. Good atmosphere My favorite Margarita is mango on the rocks with chamoy and a tajin rim

Excellent service. Seat yourself. We were welcomed with chips at the table as soon as we sat down. A sports bar feel with many tv options. The portions were very nice size with leftovers for later ! We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely come back.

This has been our go-to ever since they opened this location! The food is always fantastic. We like the vegetarian options, and everyone is always super friendly!
