I got the beef quesodilla and my lovely date got the shrimp tacos. They were busy so the service was a little slow however they were moving, so it’s no fault on the staff. Overall the food was okay, it came out warm not hot. The drinks were really delicious which probably made the food a little better. Overall experience was pretty okay.

Good food, nice on the patio. Poorly trained waitress. Biggest complaint is 12 beers on the menu and not one non-alcoholic beer. In this day and age of designated drivers and people giving up alcohol and with so many good NA beers available, why is it so hard to have nonalcoholic beer?!

Looking at the other reviews, it seems I am not the only one with an issue regarding the bill!

Don’t know how busy these kitchen was on Friday night, probably busy but we were waiting for 40 min for salad and fajitas for table of 2. About my salad-I wasn’t hungry and asked to substitute chicken/steak with shrimp, kitchen made a reqest but charged additional $18 for substitution. The actual salad a $9. I got very surprised that i wasn’t said about that and I couldn’t realize that shrimp substitution will be double of the actual dish. We just got a bill. However food was tasty, hostes was nice . Thank you

I don’t often take time to write reviews but I absolutely love this place. Best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. Guacamole is so good, margaritas are great, they have many delicious and creative options for vegetarians (often hard to find with mx food), service is good, and the ambience both inside the dining room and on the patio is absolutely lovely.

Great service and all of the food was delicious. Definitely a place to come in for lunch or dinner in the area. The Cadillac margarita is the best one. I tried the spicy and ancho chili margarita and they didn’t have much spice or smokiness to them.

I paid $18 for a super dry quesadilla that was Taco Bell quality. Margs we’re good but super expensive as well.

I love this place. The owner Gabe and the staff are so friendly, and attentive. They go out of their way to make sure you’re taken care of and enjoying yourself. And the karaoke on Friday nights that they do is SO much fun (even though I’m tone deaf). I have always loved all the food and drinks I’ve gotten there. I’ve never been disappointed. Whether it’s dining in or even taking out you can’t go wrong here.

The chicken fajitas were exceptional. The service is 5 star! The owners take great pride in serving wonderful food and service to their patrons. The outdoor patio seating area is majestic under the stars at night. Not to be missed.
