I recently dined here, and once again, it did not disappoint. The highlight of my meal, as always, was the incredible Tortilla Soup. The Tortilla Soup at this restaurant is a true masterpiece. It's packed with flavor and made with the freshest ingredients. The broth is rich and savory, and the crispy tortilla strips on top add a delightful crunch. I can't get enough of it! But the Tortilla Soup is just the beginning. The entire menu at this restaurant is a testament to authentic Mexican cuisine. From mouthwatering tacos to sizzling fajitas, every dish is a flavor explosion. The portions are generous, and the presentation is visually appealing. The staff here is always friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a casual dinner or a special celebration. In summary, if you're a fan of Mexican cuisine, this restaurant is a must-visit!

Good food, great wait staff, very nice and accommodating to our larger group. Food was hot, fresh, and as described. Great recommendations on items. Drinks were balanced and nicely done. No worries here, chips and salsa never ran out, sodas always refilled, and friendly faces checking in on us.

Just Wow.... I'm so stuffed right now I just want to sleep! I honestly can't believe I've lived here for years and never tried this place. Such absolute regret! I could have been eating this amazing food weekly! Honestly our server Christian was fantastic! Friendly, knowledgeable, and on point with everything. I honestly haven't had a meal like this in years and I'm grateful for such amazing food and service thank you for a great night! ××××××××××× Return visit! And as per usually everything was perfect. Really respect how this place consistently gives solid service All Around.

Good fresh Mexican food. I had the chicken deluxe wet burrito and it was really good. I'd recommend it! Plus the restaurant is extremely clean. Props to the crew for keeping it immaculate.

We loved our fajitas- the flavor was delicious but it came out warm- not hot, otherwise it would have been five stars! Service and setting was great!

Pretty good overall. Service was ok but the food fell a little shy this time out. Can't remember the name of the meal but it's one of their top Tier meals coming in at 18.50 before any drinks, tax or tip. My bill was 25 bucks USD and with 20% tip that's another 5 bucks bringing my total to 30 dollars. The thing that threw me off was the main feature, that being the bacon wrapped shrimp. The bacon taste was pretty bad. I can't ever remember being able to complain about bacon. I am Canadian so I know what good bacon tastes like. LOL! Another pet peeve is also the fact they didn't remove the final skin and tail. It would be like getting peanuts that were shelled but still had the skins still on them then someone covered these skins with someone else. I would like to see what else would be good here so might be back in the future to try more of the menu as the chips and salsa were great.

Delicious food and includes a variety of unique options like fish and mole in addition to the typical burrito, enchilada, and taco options. Horchata was too sweet for me but still good. Great atmosphere, everything is so colorful. Great service, too. Ample parking spots in lot. Def would go again.
