The food was delicious! I had fajitas and my partner had ordered a few things but the chili relleno was amazing. The drinks were reasonable and generous portions with homemade Michelada mix which was great. The service also great.

It’s further out for us than other places but worth the drive and we will be going back.

We stopped in a few nights ago to try out their food at our newest local Mexican restaurant. Loved the refreshed look inside & out and found the staff very welcoming. We were seated quickly after entering and chips were quickly brought to our table along with two types of salsa and a bean-style dip.

Great restaurant. Very bright and clean inside. Lots of employees moving around staying very active serving customers... very friendly and professional. When you first sit down you're given chips and salsa. All 4 of the salsas were great. The main entrees, however, are where they dip a little. I found my entree to be very bad. It was drowning in a cheap tasty overly salty cheese sauce. I couldn't tell what tasted so bad about it, then I tried my wife's chicken to see if hers was better. It was not. It was terrible. So I think that's where the main problem lay. Not sure if the chicken had been out too long or what, but I simply couldn't keep eating it. Yes, still giving an overall 4 star rating, because most of the experience was great, just not the entrees. And it could h

Our dinner was great! If I lived closer I would eat here every day! The Molcajete was so good!! Make sure you bring your appetite.
