★★★★★ 5.0 Erin Miller · Oct 2025

I love this spot! Honestly I think it's so understated! The inside is so nice and festive. It's my favorite Mexican restaurant in town. The servers are always super nice and the food is really good. One of my favorite things is the fresh chips. They are to die for and it's very apparent they are made fresh daily. They are lighter and more airy vs the harder thick chip! So good and are the perfect complement to their cheese dip and fresh salsa. The other area that doesn't get enough attention is their bar area. It's honestly such a pretty bar and perfect for a GNO or a place to hang with the amigos after work. This spot is a much try in Dayton!! Check out my pictures below of my yummy chicken & cheese and the amazing decor. Also peep the NEW MENU!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Captain Dave · Oct 2025

This one is a must do! Simply one of the best sit down Mexican restaurants. Our waiter was Johnny. He seemed to read our minds before we could ask! The salsa and chips to start off are obviously made in-house and were top notch fresh. We had shrimp fajitas and chicken enchiladas. I can't wait to come back!

If we could leave a 10 star review we would. Food was great and service exceptional David was our server. Our drinks did not get low and he checked on us to make sure everything was to our liking. Try the cheesecake chimichagans. They were amazing.

★★★★☆ 4.0 M Cohn · Feb 2026

I give this a 4- only because some dishes were definitely better than others, and being from San Antonio it’s extremely hard to impress me with Mexican food. However. In this area you will find no better Mexican food. The Birrera taco were outstanding! Honestly some of the best I’ve had. The tamales were a bit dry, but flavorful, reminds me of mass produced tamales and not homemade. The enchiladas were just ok. The Gordita was soft and fresh, excellent sandwich. The wife said her fajita were excellent. The rice was alittle dry and bland….The complementary tortillas chips however were down right amazing, they came out hot and fresh, not too thin not too thick, they must fry these in the back for each table. Most surprisingly was the speed in which the brough our food, we ordered 7 meal and

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Cindy Mock · Jan 2026

Food was great. Great flavor and plentiful. I just order cheesy rice, as my stomach was not well. Everyone else at the table, that order much more difficult dishes, got their food before I did, and we're half way finished before I got mine. We had to constantly ask for refills. And they tried to charge me for extra dink because she order water, but got a sprite. Everytime we go, they overcharge us. Or try to. My son always catches is. Figures it up in his head. Anyway, needs training on not trying to over charge
