“ Went here for our first time today and it was perfect!! From the staff to the vibe, down to the food and drinks. It exceeded our expectations. Prices are fair and the portions are huge. The presentation of the food was beautiful. My happy hour our margarita was 5 and strong!! Food was hot, delicious and fresh!! Especially the salsa. You can tell it was house made and fresh!! ”
“ This is a great spot for authentic Mexican food. It’s well prepared with fresh ingredients. The chips and salsa are good too! The margaritas are fresh and generous! We have had the fajitas and a California burrito and both were excellent. Some dishes are so large, if you are a light eater, be prepared to bring some home or share your portion. Either way, this is authentic food. ”
“ My family and I went to celebrate my sister's birthday and we all enjoyed ourselves. The restaurant is nicely decorated, clean, and efficient. The food is well priced as well as delicious and the portions are huge. I wish I had gotten a picture of my cousin's quesadilla because it was so massive. And the show they put on for my sister's birthday treat was quite entertaining :-) We'll be back! ”
“ My wife and I shared the chili rellenos and enchiladas and it was outstanding. The salsa was fresh and the best I have had for a very long time. They even did a perfect job of leaving that evil weed cilantro off the dishes at our request. In addition they grilled a little jalapeno for us which for me just makes the meal extraordinary. Portions are great and I guarantee you will not leave this place hungry. Plus, the staff are so gracious and friendly. EXCELLENT!!! ”

“ Went with family tonight and they were very accommodating, smaller place, we had a party of 12. Everyone was pleasant, our server was very nice and answered questions we had and recommendations. Never had to wait on him and everything came out great and correct! ”
“ The service was great, smiling host when we arrived and our server was very sweet. Food was okay, we got churros and could tell they were a bit freezer burnt BUT the drinks were amazing and the entrees were good, too. I didn’t like the shrimp tacos I got but I summed it up to personal preference over anything else because they did taste good. My boyfriend ate his burrito with no complaints. ”
