I was here years ago and remembered it being pretty good. I went back tonight and while the waiter himself was nice, the food was far from great. Burritos were lacking any sort of cheese and the beans and rice had minimal seasoning. To add, their appetizer size guacamole was the size of my palm and cost $13.95. I’m all for paying for good food and am understanding of certain price hikes, but that was flat out robbery. Even the waiter was embarrassed when I asked him to check that he in fact gave us the right size. Better options to spend your money in my opinion.

Great margaritas and they occasionally have chicharones. Classic Mexican food and some specialty dishes. My favorite is their spicy steak dish. Carne asada Yucatán. Justine the bartender is very good.

I wanted to love this place. The service is great and the employees are amazing. Very pleasant. Excellent vibe too. But I’m going there for the food, and honestly it’s not quality for the price you pay. Over priced and using very basic ingredients. Pretty poorly put together tacos and the fish was flavorless. 50 dollars for two plates of rice and beans. Sadly I won’t return.

I ordered the “vegetarian taco bowl” at Mobile T-Bird, the food truck in Stamford. The food on this page looks beautiful, but I understand some variance since it’s not a full kitchen. What I don’t understand is charging $15 for some raw vegetables, box rice and guacamole. Pretty misleading name, but I don’t know what else you could call this other than “raw toppings,” and that’s rightfully unflattering. I let the manager know how I felt and she offered chips and salsa. I probably don’t need to tell you they were the bare minimum as well.

The food was delicious. I definitely recommend. The place looks small from the outside but is spacious when you walk to the back. It’s also very well decorated.

This place is an institution in town as it has been here forever! The food, the drinks, and the staff are all top-notch. Their specials change frequently and are always tasty. The atmosphere lends to a great vibe while dining or just having a cocktail. Worth going to when in town.

It’s a casual spot that satisfies all Tex-Mex cravings with a large menu and generous portions. No complaints on the food or service.

White people Mexican food. Fake chicken. Food poisoning and a bartender who spends the entire time trying to tell you to go vegan. 2 beers and the worst fajitas I’ve had since going to chili’s in college for 50 bucks? Better off at tacobell
