First time visiting this place. I am impressed by the staff and the quality of the food. Portions are huge and mostly very delicious and fresh. Ceviche is one of kind, but to warn you it’s big so be careful ordering the second course. !! Fajita was one of kind. This place is becoming my favorite Mexican!!! Keep up the good job guys!!!

Food was delicious the employees were very friendly and attentive. The drinks and food came quick for our large group. It was a busy night very crowded but we received a table without much waiting. I’ve been here several times the food seems to improve everytime.

Food was fantastic, the bathrooms were clean and the whole place was neatly decorated and clearly well maintained, albeit I found a stain on my napkin cloth that contained my silverware. The fajita for two was a little expensive, at $42 for minimal amounts of grilled chicken and only one platter with rice/beans for two people, at least, we didn’t have any leftovers. My father also asked for chips, but the waiter forgot to bring some and we had to remind him. My nacho platter at $13 was certainly delicious and at least filling. Overall, I wouldn’t mind coming back, but I do know of better options.

I ordered the Steak Burrito and the meat was quite fatty. It was also warm and seemed like it had been sitting in the back for awhile before they served it to me. The rice tasted like it came from an Uncle Ben’s microwave bag. The good thing about this place was service was very attentive.

Good food! I enjoyed the shrimp fajitas. Not many vegetarian dishes but a reasonable amount of seafood dishes. Wait staff was friendly, helpful and attentive. They allowed us to bring a cake for a birthday.

I was appalled at the state of this restaurant. I came here with my mother and father for Father’s Day. Before ordering I went to the bathroom and just as I was washing my hands I see vomit all over and inside the sink next to me. Absolutely disgusting. I wanted to leave right then but when I got back to the table my parents had already ordered so I said nothing as to not ruin their Father’s Day lunch. The food was subpar and the prices were too high for the quality they offered. I absolutely should’ve seen that vomit and left regardless of the order being placed, because a while after eating my father became sick as well. Glad I ordered a vegetarian option. This place needs to be much more careful with handling food as food poisoning seems to be common here. Don’t go here unless you have a bag close by.

As some have noticed I have been on a Shrimp Fajita kick. Well I have found the worst of the best.

The spicy margaritas were on point. The beef fajitas were very good. The marinade was very tasty. The service was good as well. The weather last night was very pleasant, so we sat outside which an added treat.
