My partner and I usually order from here via uber eats but today we decided to go in and have things fresh. To say that this food and experience was AMAZING is an understatement. We didn’t feel judged or misplaced considering that we both don’t speak Spanish. We felt so welcomed by the staff it was great. The food came out in 10 MINS! How amazing is that? By the time we finished our appetizer our meals were done and severed right from the kitchen. This place is a hidden gem. It’s worth getting it fresh because the tortillas do get a bit soggy when ordering from Uber eats. Obviously that’s not their fault. 10/10. I wish more people knew about this place. It’s the only restaurant I’ll eat chicken from!

Good tacos and good service. Margaritas are too sweet but otherwise love it here. Their hot sauce bar is by far my favorite thing about this place. SOOOO GOOD!!! even has habanero picked onions which I could have drank just by themselves. Picture is the cactus tacos- yummy!!

Been meaning to try this place since I did a lot of orders for door dash and Uber eats. Had to know what the burritos were like bc a lot of people would order them and they’re like 2lbs. Lol got some take out the other night and not disappointed and can’t wait to try more from their menu.

My husband and I tried this last night and absolutely loved it. I don’t care for Mexican in America, it just seems so fake and gross. This was so authentic and delicious we couldn’t believe it. I got the shrimp quesadilla and my husband got the beef burrito. So tasty. The service was excellent too. The atmosphere is really comfortable too, very colorful and bright. The bar looks inviting and we thoroughly enjoyed our margaritas. I hope to make this a regular Friday night spot!

Food is ok, not the size I thought could be; but the tip should be base on the service, never the number of people. If the waitress take the order and then disappear the whole time that should not be a 18% tip.

Nice small restaurant with Mexican food and music playing in the background. We went for lunch and the waitress was friendly and informative. For lunch the food was delicious and sizzling from the kitchen. Parking is in the back but it’s not a big area. Next time I am in the area would gladly go again 4 1/2 stars.

Ordered on Uber eats and the elote cup was disgusting. they didn’t even drain the canned corn before putting the toppings on so it was just horrible corn soup. The churro was the wrong one, and the burrito was cold as ice when I got it. Never spending money here again.
