Extremely fast service and excellent Mexican food! Love the decor of the restaurant- seems they put a lot of hand crafted detail into the place. The food was served quick, hot, and tasty! They serve the traditional chips and salsa prior right when seated. They have margaritas on the rocks and blender for options. Highly recommend!

The staff were friendly and the drinks were good (and a tad strong). The food was decent but nothing extraordinary. The environment was nice and the staff made it feel very homey.

Usually a great experience. I think they have new owners or something. The food was not good. My husband had chili Colorado. He eats it there every time we go. It was so spicy he could not eat it. Stay away.

Always delicious. I get the beef flautas with an extra side of rice. (My girlfriend steals my lettuce and guac). Cervesa is priced very well and so is the food. Even in busy times the wait staff is attentive, and the food comes out swiftly. An underrated gem.
