★★★★★ 5.0 Bhakti Sasya · Feb 2026

I’m visiting from out of town and was referred here. It was so amazing, I came back for a second night in a row! Both Ricky and Tyler gave amazing service and recommendations. The food was so good, the margaritas are top-notch and the environment is welcoming. I admit, I am a high maintenance person and they brought everything I asked for added onto my plate and on the side as requested. I was extremely impressed at their attention to detail. First night I had the Chile Relleno, which blew my socks off and then tonight I had the nachos which were presented with the chips evenly distributed on the plate and the cheese, steak & jalapeños evenly distributed!!! They even had black beans. My friend had the chicken enchiladas and cleaned her plate! OMGEE = Love this place I’ll be back.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed this place. It also seems like a nice place to bring a family-type group as well. Reasonable number of food options, I enjoyed the mini margarita drink. Even got a few little chunks of mango while sipping! Burrito was a good size. Salsa dish is a little shallow but staff will bring refills so that was fine. It was fun playing a bit of corn hole in front before leaving.

Pleasantly surprised! We've had this restaurant on our list for years and finally tried it on a Friday night! We were seated immediately. Every item on my plate was delicious. I had the shrimp fajitas. I paired it with a frozen man berry margarita and wow it hit the spot! Tyler was so attentive and friendly and the atmosphere here is lovely. I thought we would hear the music from the Karaoke bar next door but we didn't. Draft beer is also very good. If you have had this restaurant on your list as well, you should give it a try!

Finally got to come here and I was not disappointed. Greeted very friendly and nice, our server was very nice and attentive. The menu is small and the food is good. Overall, it was a good diner. I would come here again if I was in the neighborhood. I probably would not go out of my way to come here. I ordered jalapeños caps. I really liked out they were lightly breaded. We ordered the fajitas, and the steak was good. Kids eat free after 4pm on sundays.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Heber Alonso de la Parra Morales · May 2025

I came to this restaurant looking for authentic Mexican food, but unfortunately, what I found was far from it. This place feels more like an Americanized version of a Mexican restaurant—clearly adapted for a different market and not reflective of true Mexican cuisine. I ordered tacos, carne asada, a fish taco, and carnitas, just to be sure it wasn’t a one-dish mistake—but sadly, none of them tasted authentic. The salsas lacked real flavor and heat; in fact, some were oddly sweet. The food was a huge letdown and nowhere near the standards of genuine Mexican cooking. What frustrated me the most is that they label this as "Mexican food." That’s misleading. It would be more honest to call it “American food inspired by Mexican flavors,” served by non-Latino staff. As someone who deeply values
