This place was pretty good! The tacos were really good. The free chips and salsa were amazing. The chips were fresh along with the salsa. They were so good! Staff were friendly and attentive. Only downside is the menus have to be downloaded from your table on your phone. The building is completely brick so we had no service. They did provide us with a menu though. Recommend stopping in and getting a bite to eat.

This was my first time here and I sat at the bar. Francisco and David are fantastic bartenders. Also, I recommend margaritas and tacos. Overall, it’s a nice little spot and I am visiting again!

This was my first time coming and I will definitely coming again. Sunday afternoon was actually the perfect day & time to come and check out this spot. I’m always looking for delicious Mexican meals & I succeeded. The drinks are strong and the meal portions are so filling you might not be able to finish everything. The tvs had the games on to and with great music so it was a automatic vibe!

Much needed girls dinner. Arrived around 6p on a Saturday & were sat down quickly. The waiter was very attentive. My friend ordered pulpo asado, but unfortunately waiter said they didn’t have any. We went ahead & ordered dinner. She ordered the Alitas & I ordered Hamburgesa Chida (picture shown) it was DELICIOUS, highly recommend. We both ordered the Mejikãna cocktail, highly recommend as well. As the night progressed, the waiter did advise that they now had pulpo asado & we placed an order. It was delicious. The manager came by the table & stated since we had to wait for the pulpo we were getting half off for it, that was very generous of him. This was my 3rd time visiting & will definitely not be my last.

Absolutely loved this place! Service was fabulous and the food was even better. The salsa they give you when you first seat is really tasty. I ordered the veggie taco with rice and the tacos were really good. 3 tacos for $13! Lastly the flan and churros were delicious, probably one of the best churros I’ve had.

Food and service were amazing. A very urban Latino joint with great music. The place was very small so it had more of a bar feel than restaurant.

Came here last Thursday for a Business meeting and once again doesn’t disappoint. We sitted at the bar and Juan Carlos politely took care of us. He was very friendly as well as his staff. We order a semita poblana , a fish taco and quesabirrias. Everything tasted amazing. We were very please with our order. They have well crafted mix drinks and a good selection of Mezcal. I will definitely keep coming back and refer this place around.
