Great experience, first time there and the atmosphere was good, the music and decor was very enjoyable. Got the guacamole which I would highly recommend. Tacos, and even dessert (Bunelos) which I would get every time!!
The place was clean. the decorations inside are gorgeous, the paint in the wall is amazing. the food delicious , home made food. Everything was fresh. I could give 10 stars but just have 5. The waitress was lovely . I truly recommend it.
Wonderful Mexican restaurant with great food. Friendly staff.
The service was good and the food came out fast. The interior decor is a cute Mexican vibe as well. Plenty of parking outside as well.
Very good meal. The taquitos(appetizer) were absolutely scrumptious. The burrito dinner was likewise delicious. I've been here many times and have always enjoyed the food.
Food here is AWESOME! This is one of the very few places I actually crave. Service can be a little slow at times.
The food style is true mexican soul where food is prepared the right way observing the original seasonings. I tried the shrimp cocktail, followed by an order of 'al pastor tacos' food was very flavourful. If you are adventurous try one of their mezcals as an aperitive.
Such a cute little place! Stopped in there yesterday with a friend and was surprised I had never been before! Speedy service, hot/fresh food, and very friendly staff! Our waitress even provided my friend and I with a free shot after our meal; very thoughtful. I also appreciated the free chips and salsa when we first sat down.
