We dine here last Friday evening, and we loved the food, the service on the other hand wasn’t the best, the server didn’t take our order well, we had to repeat him to understand, and his English wasn’t the best, he was so annoying as he kept asking us if we wanted some chips and guac or salsa. We ate some alambres and they were amazing and they came with hand made tortillas!

We ordered online through the restaurant website (hours before the restaurant closed). 45 minutes past the expected delivery time I call the restaurant and they say the order is on its way and it should be there in 5 min (I live 0.5 miles from restaurant). Another 15 minutes pass and I call the restaurant – no answer. I call again and after several rings get an answer from a different person who says ”we’re not open.” I explain the situation (it’s 8p on a Friday) who says they can see my order but for “some reason” it wasn’t done and end of conversation. After quite a bit of discussion, they offer to refund me- but this was not offered off the bat. If you’d like to play a prank on someone- tell them to order here. Will certainly not be returning.

Loved the service! The waitress was very nice and attentive. I could easily get her attention if need be. As for the food, almost everything was fresh and homemade. I ordered the chicken burrito expecting it to possibly be dry but the chicken was cooked perfectly. I am definitely coming again.

Disgusting Mexican food I have ever taste! Salsa is watered down. Terrible experience ordered a taco said no onions and gave me a taco with onions O didn’t eat it. They didn’t offer me something else, wasn’t offered to remake it instead just kept it on the bill! Wish I could give 0 stars! And expensive not worth the money!

We ordered the classic Alambre, one Comadre and one Jorongo and gladly surprised it came with homemade corn tortillas. The blend of flavors were fantastic w/ a side of beans and guacamole. The agua fresca was refreshing, it was our first time trying Limón&Perejil. We finished off with a classic margarita. Cheers!

This place kicked my 70 year old dad out an hour ago after ordering a $5.00 coffee. my dad is disabled, he barely can walk. They told him after ordering their expensive coffee that he couldn’t dine in, so he didn’t bother with his coffee anymore and made him wait outside till I picked him up. Remind you , they were open because he said there were some people inside eating. The place wasn’t full, only one table was used so i didn’t understand the issue of having a senior to sit and enjoy his coffee. My family owns 12 restaurants , this will never happen in our establishment. Don’t bother coming in here, plus it’s mediocre like their logo.
