Wife and I celebrated our anniversary here together. Lindsey the hostess was super nice and let us pick where we wanted to sit and everything.

My husband and I eat out constantly as we are retired, and that is one of our joys. We’ve eaten at many Mexican restaurants, and I have to tell you they are at the very top of the list! A good test is a Mexicans restaurants chips and salsa to start. Theirs are fantastic, the best salsa ever! Their Happy Hour has some of the best food offers, and the taste of everything we had was a 5. Their drinks are very good also! On this visit, we had Shrimp Cerviche, Birria street tacos, chicken taquitos, and fish street tacos and finished off with their Tangerine Flan. We will definitely be regulars here, especially for their 3-6 daily Happy Hour! Also their staff was very friendly and efficient. I love the ambiance of the place, so pretty!

Great service and the food was delicious. Karina the waiter was great and manage to take care all of us, a big party of 26 people. The food came out all at once and everything looked delicious. Their drinks are reasonable price and their Piña Colada is on point. The only thing I did not like is that they don’t split the bill for big parties. We all took cash since we were splitting the bill within each family. But beside that I will recommend this place.

The food is incredible! So good! The flavors are unbelievable. We were so surprised and impressed by the restaurant since we had never had Mexican fine dining. We ordered the ceviche con Cameron (shrimp) and the pan seared steak. Word don’t do them justice- they were both very delicious.

Food is very good, cocktails are good, nice ambience. No real complaints. It is upper end cost – and not really for un-adventurous kids – but I think it is definitely a good date night place.

LOVED the guac and queso. A fabulous new spot for drinks. Good for date night, girls nights or family fun. Food was quality and service was friendly. Can’t wait to come back and dine Al fresco on the stunning patio.

we sat down after 10 minutes of waiting at the bar for our table to be ready, we wait another 15 minutes without being asked for our drink orders, served chips, or even water, finally after 20 minutes of being sat there, a probably 20 smth year old that looks like an americanized version of harry styles with a bigger forehead comes over and takes ourorderprobably 5 minutes later he brings out our chips with none of the queso we ordered, and we order two diet cokes, we then wait about 5 more minutes for our water and drinks. 10 minutes later someone (not harry) brings our queso, WITH NO CHIPS. then finally a few more minutes later, they (still not harry) brings out most of our food and chips. i am current writing this now waiting for my food, with no water or the drink i ordered, ok ok harry finally brought out the drink i ordered but FORGOT THE OTHER DIET COKE WE ORDERD, finally harry brought the other diet coke and we asked about my entree, he said “oh the enchiladas right?” (I ordered duck), then he told he’d double check, right now we’re waiting for our food, ok we stopped waiting for our food got our check, (they took off two of the entrees, or we theorize just one because they probably never even put in the other one) and are now in the jack in box drive through. one star because the live singer there was pretty good. also the food was pretty mid.

My wife and I come here typically at least once a week. The outdoor area is beautiful. The food is actually seasoned unlike a lot of typically bland Mexican food that eliminates any trace of spice. Most importantly, the staff is wonderful and they are always extremely friendly and accommodating. They are especially friendly to our two dogs which goes a long way with us. Highly recommended!
