★★★★☆ 4.0 Tiffany Morgan · Feb 2026

We arrived around 7ish for the all day Happy Hour and $1.50 Taco Tuesday! Although it was quite busy, we were seated in five minutes. Our server was Cameron and she was very attentive. She made sure we got our margs, tacos, plenty of napkins and water to stay hydrated throughout our dining experience!

Great service and good food. Steak in the Fajitas was a bit tough. No other complaints. Lunch portion was good enough. The atmosphere is perfect - well maintained and tidy. Will definitely go back if we happen to be in the area.

If hell was a restaurant. I don't know how a kitchen can manage to get every single dish wrong, but they managed to do that here. The bar got drinks wrong, and the kitchen took nearly an hour to get our food out, only for one of my friends to get a complete different dish than what she ordered and everything that was supposed to be chicken to be beef. No hate to our waiter, Ty, because he was very accommodating with what happened, but when he brought out his 'manager' she said she would give us a 20% discount and it ended up being barely two dollars off the check. And turns out the 'manager' was just a host pretending to be the manager because there wasn't one there. Think twice before eating here.

If I could rate it zero stars I would. We didn’t even get chips and salsa or waters for 35 minutes after sitting down. Our server took our drink and food order and never came back to our table. Had to ask for our check three separate times and it was wrong once we finally got it. The food had no seasoning and not worth the price. Awful experience. Our servers name was Betsy, do not recommend.

★★★★★ 5.0 Stacey Bracamonte · Jan 2026

I'm from California, and my daughter-in-law is from Jalisco. My grandbabies speak English as a 2nd language so trust me, I know good Mexican food. I ate 3 tacos from this place and it makes me wish I lived here. Some of the best I've ever had. And what's in that green sauce! Spicy and buttery at the same time. The waitress said a Birra taco was her fave so I tried it. She wasn't sure what kind of meat... pretty sure it's pork, but it was amazing. Flavor that makes you thank God again for giving you taste buds.
