★★★★★ 5.0 Tim VZ · Feb 2025

BOOM!!! We absolutely loved this place, and we will be returning time and time again! The flavors of the food were spot on fantastic... our server was so incredibly friendly, and took the time to chat with us and made some truly masterful recommendations... and the interior was exactly what we enjoy - peaceful, quiet, and a great vibe. The cantina section was awesome while the restaurant section was, to be honest, a little dull (which was absolutely fine) and we chose to sit in the little section between the two and it was just perfect. Our food was hot and fresh, and the perfect amount for us and the drink was absolutely tasty and made so wonderfully well - the perfect way to end the day. There are so many menu options that can easily be changed up... I'm already looking forward to the

The bar is kind of cozy. I wish there were more seats, especially during happy hour (it can fill up fast). However, it’s completely adorable and the margaritas are amazing. I’ll be honest- in my experience, the lunch and dinner options have been somewhat hit or miss in quality. The breakfast is great, though! I would definitely recommend queso and margs at the bar, or a nice, chill breakfast on a lazy sunday (or any day- I think it’s served until 12).

If breakfast burritos were judged like Olympic events, the one here would absolutely medal, possibly while talking trash to the competition. This thing is wrapped in a warm, sturdy tortilla that knows it’s carrying responsibility, stuffed with fluffy eggs, savory meat, melty cheese, and potatoes that somehow manage to be both comforting and exciting at the same time. Every bite tastes fresh, balanced, and unapologetically satisfying, like it was made by someone who genuinely cares how your morning goes. It’s hearty without being sloppy, flavorful without trying too hard, and filling enough that you’ll forget lunch even exists for a while. Add in the fact that it comes out hot, hits all the right Tex-Mex notes, and doesn’t fall apart halfway through like a poorly planned life decision, and

★★★★★ 5.0 Angie Mahecha · Feb 2026

Yanelys is the best employee u can have her energy and her smile are captivating she brings joy to every single customer walking into the place. I see how much people go there not just for the amazing food and drinks but for her... she greets every customer and every cuatomer loves her or at least most know her. Great job with her you couldnt have hired a better server & bartender.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Courtney Markham · Jan 2026

Generally pretty good but ordered from the phone & went to pick it up. My order was not ready. They claimed I never called in the order and it was just a really frustrating situation all around. I think it’s only good when you go in face-to-face; do not call in and pick up to go orders because you may not get it & they won’t be very helpful in the solution.
