“ The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming. The food is always consistently good and fresh. This neighborhood place is a gem tucked away in a tiny strip mall. ”
“ We come here often. The food is always delicious and the drinks are indeed some of the best. We have experienced a time or two of a server not being as attentive, but it hasn't diminished the experience at all. Love this place. All they need to do is figure out parking. There's never enough parking. ”
“ We are always on the lookout for good Mexican restaurants. I decided to try this one on a whim given the high star rating. Plus it's much closer to where I live. Don't let the outside deceive you. The inside is exactly as you would expect in a Mexican restaurant. My fiance and I both had the shredded chicken chimichanga and it was very delicious! And also only 15! We also love the chips and salsa. If you like spicy salsa you will definitely love their salsa. It starts out seeming mild but has a spicy aftertaste that lingers for quite a while. I would definitely recommend this place and will certainly be back here regularly! Note that some of their online menus say they have Coke products, but they no longer do. They have Pepsi products now. And for you root beer lovers, they do not have any. ”

Staff was on point for service and food and drinks topped it oof to make it great experience my boyfriend and first time amd we shared the al pastor plate, ca g wait for next trip to explore the tasty menu ”
“ Went there last week after hearing about it through Nextdoor.com. Super cute and colorful, nice people with good service and the food was delicious. We are always looking for places for us to try. Def recommend this place. Will be back. ”
“ Saw this place on tik tok and figured I would take my wife here to see if his reviews were accurate. Is was easy to find unlike he mentioned in review. The environment was nice. I really like how they have it decorated. At first, there was no music, but then someone turned it up, which made it feel more authentic. Staff was very nice and help ful. Food came out delicious, and drinks tasted very good. Overall, I had a great time here, and I would come back here again. The menu is large and has lots of items I want to try. ”
“ We called ahead to see if they allowed dogs. Not only do they allow them, he asked how many in our party, and he reserved a table on their patio where dogs are allowed. So that is 5/5 service. The patio was awesome with one other friendly dog, and people who liked dogs. The food was really good. Highly recommend the steak fajita style burrito and the churros. ”
“ Handled our big group well, and we are kind of a lot to handle, lol. Food was amazing! Margarita's too. I don't typically drink mixed drinks, I prefer just tequila and water, but these were legit! Be careful though, they make them good! ”
