It was a rainy Friday afternoon. We were in the mood for some Mexican food. Had decided to give this place a chance. Upon arrival the place was slammed, we were greeted by what appeared to be the owner. He helped us get seats at the bar.

Wow! I ordered the chicken tortilla soup and it was the best I’ve ever had. Went with coworker and he had three tacos. Fish, beef and pork belly. I had two tacos, the spicy short rib and the pork belly. Both were delicious but the pork belly absolutely stood out. Smokey and tasty. Each bite was a party in my mouth.

We had a great impromptu lunch here! Popped in for a bite and the hostess sat us quickly. Server was friendly, professional, pleasant and overall really great. Food was delicious too, guac chips and salsa all great we ate it so fast we forgot to take a picture. Will be back next time we are in town!

Decent tex-mex with some untraditional spins. Hard, soft corn, flour and lettuce are available for tacos. The side salad was a nice mix of flavors with apple and poblano pepers. Oh, the “good” fries are skinnier and have rosemary on them.

This place is great! Although I got a brisket quesadilla that was burnt on the bottom. The margarita and the service were very good. The atmosphere is incredibly difficult to hear anyone at your table.

Had a party of 4, when we walked in everyone in my party immediately sensed something was off. As if we were being judged for… existing? Those feelings were confirmed when we were seated upstairs ALONE even though there were only 2 tables seated downstairs. The entire time we were there no one else was seated upstairs. I will say, all of us enjoyed our food, my margarita was really good, and the upstairs bartender was cool. In summary, the food was good but the atmosphere was not unfortunately.

Service was great; friendly and efficient. Chips, salsa, and guacamole were excellent. Didn’t love the grilled chicken nachos; not enough bbq sauce and overall was a bit bland for my taste, but my partner enjoyed them. Nice indoor and outdoor seating options.
