Customer Reviews

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Danielle Cozzola · Sep 2025

I had high hopes when I saw many traditional Mexican dishes on the menu along with the fact that they offered cactus. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The cactus was pickled and not fresh, and the salsa tasted like canned tomato sauce. Steak tacos were fatty. The guacamole was already turning brown, and none of the food had much taste in general. 😔 The service was quick and efficient, but I felt like none of the ingredients were of quality. If the restaurant invested in better and more flavorful ingredients then this place could be truly authentic! Prices are good, but you get what you pay for.

+ unique salsa + friendly service + Bromine and Tantalum + outdoor seating - hard to find; limited parking spaces; weird traffic pattern on North side of the building

★★★★★ 5.0 Katelyn Curry · Feb 2026

Quaint and cute little spot. I always judge a new place by their mole & theirs is really tasty. A little Smokey, a little bit of heat, touch of bitter and a slight sweetness. Portion was more than enough. I also got a side of rice and beans and the rice was perfectly fluffy and had a really nice flavor.

★★★★★ 5.0 Katie Sheridan · Dec 2025

Freshly prepared food that makes you feel good! I recommend the chicken tinga bowl. Don't skip desert, especially if churros are on the specials board.

Met a friend for lunch. It has been a while since visiting and what a mistake that was. My lunch was outstanding. Chicken tortilla soup was on special. I ordered that with a side of rice and beans. The soup was delicious. The rice and beans were just as they needed to be and also great. Service was on point. It's a cute place, not flashy. I would say they serve excellent authentic Mexican food. Not overly saucy, cheesy or greasy.
