Very clean, friendly staff. Micheladas were very good. And the flan was great. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the waiter got my friends order wrong twice. He was nice, just didn’t understand.

Nice place to enjoy some Mexican food. Good beer and drink selection. Staff is pretty attentive. Bar section is nice too. You can do karaoke and also enjoy the DJ music while dancing the night away. Located in a strip mall location so not too much parking but plenty of street parking available.

Walked in and it was empty, no one greeted us. We sat down and finally someone came over and took our drink orders 30min later they came back. We finally ordered food which took another 40minutes, we never or waters that we asked for, the beer was warm. We got up to leave because it took too long.
