“ First visit early (3:30pm on a Monday). Hostess and waitress only people in the building; although one customer was leaving as we walked up. Great service. Chips and salsa very fresh. Wife got Chicken fajitas, very tasty as were rice & beans. I ordered the whole fried tilapia. It was also tasty but fried a little too long so meat was a little dry and skin was overly crispy, chewy. We will try this place again as overall a good experience. Note: Went back with my wife. Had the guacamole handmade at table, wife had the tacos and I had the whole fried tilapia again. Glad to report that all food was fresh and delicious. ”
“ MY NEW FAVE!! Victor was great, hostess and food runner was as well. I had the chimichanga, delicious. The hot salsa and chips were yummy too!! ”
“ We went here today for lunch, and it was an excellent experience! I had the Birria Tacos with extra cilantro, refried beans, and rice, and everything was absolutely delicious. The tacos were flavorful and perfectly seasoned, and the extra cilantro added a fresh touch that made them even better. The refried beans and rice were the perfect complements to the meal. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was prompt and friendly. It’s clear that the team takes pride in both their food and the dining experience they provide. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family!” ”
“ What a great find. In a shopping area you walk in and it’s like being in Mexico. Beautiful decor, paintings and furniture. It was all very festive and inviting. Staff was great, attentive and very professional and knowledgeable. Food was superior. All the seafood perfectly prepared and the sauces and seasoning were great. The steak, pork, chicken, and chorizo was tender and juicy. Both entrees had delicious beans and rice. The tortillas were fresh, and the cactus in the veggies was amazing. Worth it! ”
“ This is mine and my husband's favorite Mexican restaurant. True authentic Mexican food. An amazing staff that treats us wonderfully. The owner goes above and beyond to accommodate everyone. And most of all, she truly gives back to the community. I believe in supporting our local businesses. There's not one item on the menu we've ever been disappointed in. ”
“ We shared the chicken / steak fajitas. It was wonderful, came with rice and beans, as well as guacamole, sour cream, & lettuce. We enjoyed the 5 House Margarita and they were excellent. Our service as well was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. Especially if you enjoy Mexican food. The atmosphere as well as wonderful and the bathrooms are very clean. 5 Stars from us..... ”

“ Cute place, rapid seating and impeccable service. Food is decent, not bad, but could be a bit better. My taco salad bowl was pretty stale, and the fried ice cream has a very weird stale feeling shell too. Everything else was good. Birria tacos were really good according to my kid. Excellent service, and super cute decor. ”
