Has amazing food and I have had a great share of Mexican restaurants. Margaritas are a little strong but the food was great. If I can ask someone there I’m not from the area I would like to know the ingredients of the salad that comes with the burrito you order.

The food there was so bad and they took forever to make your food. The not even Mexican and also the menu doesn’t make no sense. The food is so exciting, like I ordered two things, and it cost $ 36. I would never go there next time.

Super cute Mexican restaurant with probably the nicest waitress I’ve ever had. Everything we ordered was delicious. Chips were thick and extra crunchy.

I LOVE this place!! Family-owned for many years and introduced to me for the first time in 2021. How did I miss this gem with having lived within 3 miles for over 30 years!?

I came here for a first date and we had a lovely time. It was nice to have interesting decor to admire and chat about during those awkward pauses. The food was delicious and the service was great. And, when I misplaced my wallet and left it at the restaurant, they tracked me down so I could pick it up. Couldn’t have asked for more!

This place is slowly going to go out of business. Food was pricey and not all that good in flavor l wish that the service was at least good but that was worse. I was there for the first time I had to ask the guy who cleans tables for help twice since my waitress only came by to get our ORDER and DELIVER our food, she went to all her tables skipping our table.
