★★★★★ 5.0 Timothy Wichmann · Dec 2025

Creative dishes friendly staff plenty of parking quick service lots of seating for large groups or small. I've been to a lot of different Mexican restaurants and this was just impressive all around. Manager even came to check in on me which was wonderful.

Stayed at the hotel next door. Ordered food for pickup. The first time they forgot some items I ordered. Went back and got them. The second time I ordered a birria pizza got to the room and there was no consomme for the pizza. I know I should have checked the order after the last experience. Didn't really feel like walking back over there just ate my birria quesadilla lol half of it was ok because I had the tomatillo sauce but it ran out so the other half was a little dry.

I stopped here because it was close to my hotel. I was pleasantly surprised at how good both the food and the margarita was! The service was good too.

The food was delicious and authentic! Great price with a matching great portion. The service was probably the best ive seen in awhile, very involved, 3 different people asked if i needed anything and how was everything so far. The ambience was perfect with vibrant colors reminding me of the culture shift as soon as i walk into the restaurant, ill definitely be back next tuesday!

I have been there twice now. The first time they service was awesome. This time a train wreck. Both times the food was mediorce. My wife's food still hasn't come out. The appetizer i ordered came out with the second round of food. The Jalepanos sampler was flavorless and the presentation was a mess. The salsa that came with it tasted like a V8. The Fajita came out in three rounds. First the side piece (beans, rice, and sauce), then the chicken Fajita (which tasted burnt), then had to ask about the tortillas. But to be fair it didn't say on the menu if you got tortillas. We were never asked if we wanted a refill on chips and salsa or drinks. The child with us was brought pink lemonade even though we ordered apple juice with no explanation. Apparently they were out of apple juice,
