★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Nomad Chaguil · Oct 2025

When you walk in, it’s a large and open space that feels comfortable and spacious. The restrooms were also clean, which is always a good sign. As for the food, the portion sizes are very generous. You definitely get plenty on your plate, so there’s good value for the amount of food you receive. I ordered the Don Plate (Guisado de Puerco) Unfortunately, the sauce was quite salty, and that’s saying something because I usually like my food on the salty side. My main issue was with the pork itself. While the serving was large, a lot of it was just fat. Some pieces were mostly fat with very little meat, so I had to trim or remove several chunks before eating. That really took away from the experience. Overall, the portions and cleanliness were great, but the flavor and meat quality could def

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Neil · Oct 2025

Food isnt great. Ate here twice and I was excited when this place opened because I work in the area a lot and theres not much else around, but its really disappointing. Ordered to go this last time. Quesabirria was soggy and falling apart. I couldn't even pick it up to eat it. There was barely any meat in it and the consome is just greasy and has no flavor at all. I ordered guacamole and they just gave me guacamole with no nachos. Im not sure what they thought I was using it for but it was a waste just like the rest of the meal. I really hope they step up their game because whoever owns the place spent a lot of money to make it look nice but thats all they got.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Meri Teran · Feb 2026

In my opinion this is not a real Mexican restaurant. The flavors lean towards the American pallette. I ordered green chilaquilles with sirloin, the sauce was way off. It's tasted more like a chesseyer Alfredo, and the sirloinwas cooked well just very fatty.. My wife got the chicken Alfredo which was pretty tasty. All n all there is much room for improvement food wise. But it seem like a nice place to kick back and enjoy a drink.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Rae B. · Jul 2025

Do not get the chorizo and egg or chorizo anything because it’s all grease! Totally tuned off my appetite and a waste of money. The barbacoa does not taste good either and greasy. This place costs too much for bad food and ehhh service. Just imagine the orange grease soaked on your tortilla.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Stringfellow Hawke · Dec 2025

Ignore all other reviews this is the truth. Number one, the place is nice and clean and comfortable with lots of room. Bathrooms are very clean. Two, the service was excellent, the waitress Anna was very nice and took some time to visit with us. The cook also came out to say hello and to make sure we were happy. Three, the food is good. We liked the breakfast...huevos rancheros good enough to clean the plate. Sausage, potatos good. Menudo was very good, not the best I ever had but I would order it again. Good homemade corn tortillas. I liked the place and if I'm hungry and passing through, I would definitely eat there again.
