The food was absolutely amazing. Thomas took care of us and we couldn’t have asked for any better service. Will absolutely come back.

I was craving Mexican and my husband just looked up local spots with good ratings. It was our first time. Our server, Tom, was amazing in his recommendations and we took his word. The food and drinks were delicious. The owner was incredibly nice too and she told us about all the fun stuff that happens during the week. Will definitely be back!!

Amazing place! Love the inside decor. Always a great time! Sometimes too great 😊 I come here often (years) and a regular. Drinks are always consistent and so is the food! Great vibes and the staff😍. Don’t have enough words for how great the owner, Joanna is and Juan the bartender, cooks and other staff. Such a great gem. Don’t hesitate just go!

The food was decently priced, good portions. The food was decent. The classic margarita was good. We got the flautas, was crispy, i felt it was too dry. The burrito my bf ate he said it was good. The taco was good and good portion but got charged $3 extra for sour cream. No chips brought to the table. The place and food just needs a little more TLC. The staff was nice.

Had a taste for some enchiladas, so I stopped by on a Friday afternoon. The place was completely empty
I was the only person there. I ordered the steak enchiladas and two chicken enchiladas, which came with rice and beans. Unfortunately, the food was very bland with no real flavor.

I also ordered chips and salsa (which I didn’t even see on the menu) and was charged extra $2 for a tiny bowl of salsa that didn’t taste great. The service was just “blah”—nothing memorable or welcoming. Maybe I caught the cook on an off day, but overall the enchiladas tasted more like quesadillas with sauce on top. This Did Not Taste Like Real Mexican Food To Me

I won’t be back.
