Incredible mole! I definitely recommend bringing an appetite… the burrito I ordered was massive. The chips and salsa are unlimited and had some great heat. The servers were friendly and checked in a lot which was good because I needed lots of water for the amazing salsa!

Good happy hour. Inside has a nice cantina style bar area with a few TVs. Highlights of the happy hour are the $4 beers, $9 margaritas and good specials. Food is pretty good. Loved the nachos. Service good. There’s street parking but you might have to walk a block or two.

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area! The space is small and quite loud at night, but the overall experience is great. The staff were also very friendly. We had the pinches nachos with the birria meat that was delicious, and then the Carne Asada quesadilla was also fantastic. Overall it was great and I hope to come back soon!

An overall okay restaurant, okay food, overpriced, good customer service. The best thing were the Duck Carnitas Taco and the Ceviche. However, the ceviche is more like an Aguachile because of how spicy it is (it is pretty spicy). The burger was good, but the waiter got the order wrong and because of the ordeal I was not given the option to choose the meat rarity. The Chicharron was was too dry, not good. The fries were burnt, not good. I asked for ranch on the side and was charged $1 extra although it was not specified in the menu or notified by the waiter. The drinks were good. I wouldn’t come here again or recommend it. Very disappointing.

Short 15 minute wait for two people on Valentine’s Day 2023 at 6 pm. Waited outside under the heater. Picked our own table. Somehow we got stuck with a shorter-than-usual table? Seemed like it was an ADA height table near the restrooms.

Super cute local restaurant! Love this place, the service is amazing and the food is delicious. I always come here with family, the ambiance and vibe is perfect. I always recommended the mole duck fries 10/10!

The best Mexican food. Authentic, creative, fresh and the atmosphere is a blast. Happy Hour is tons of fun but make sure you only order the drinks listed for the Happy Hour as we got stuck with a pitcher of margarita we thought was the happy hour price and paid 50.00 for it at 4 pm. Be careful. The food though is top notch…..
