A local favorite. Food is pretty good and we always enjoy going here.

The location had easy parking, nice atmosphere inside but the portions are small and the margaritas were extremely watered down. I had a traditional and it literally just tasted like melted ice. We tried the watermelon mint and again water with some mint. Food portions were small compared to other places we have paid the same. The staff was very friendly though.

Really enjoyed this restaurant. We came in just for margaritas and appetizers while we waited for our appointment across the street. Everything we got was good, the margaritas were well done, and the customer service was outstanding. Vegetarian and kid options available, good prices. It has a nice atmosphere as well. We ubered on vacation so I can’t speak to parking.

We went here during lunch today, this is our first date spot. Unfortunately the service incredibly lacked. The food was absolutely horrible like no effort at all went into it. The tacos were oily and smothered in Lettuce or guacamole,.no protein just all the sides. I ordered the Tostadas and they should be picked up and eaten, it was a mountain of Lettuce. This place is definitely not the same. The chips and salsa were the best part of the meal, and the margaritas were pretty good, but again not like they used to be.

We needed a quick bite and this got the job done, but if you’re looking for authentic Mexican food this is not the place.

On a Friday, we got our food in came out in less than ten minutes. My husband and I were shocked. Well seasoned food and not overwhelming with spice. The tacos are the right amount of meat with other toppings.

Will visit again and recommend for anyone in the area itching for a great margarita and Mexican. Warning — for flour tortilla devotees, their enchiladas are made with corn tortillas.

If you’re looking for authentic and delicious tacos, look no further than this restaurant. From the succulent meat to the fresh toppings, every bite is bursting with flavor.

Food is amazing!!! Totally love the food here especially the crispy beefs and the shrimp tacos! Everything is really good actually. And the margarita is out of this world. I don’t typically drink but this time I was like what the heck let me try it. You can barley taste the alcohol and it’s so good! I forgot to take a picture before drinking it but aren’t the cups to cute?!
