OMG!!!!! This place is AMAZING! The food has great flavor and very generous portions. I didn’t get a picture of our dishes, but trust me, we didn’t leave anything behind. I had the carne asada and my husband had the Burrito Alambre. The price for what you get is incredibly good! This place deserves a 5.0 rating. The service is excellent, they check on you often to make sure you’re okay and don’t need anything. They bring chips and salsa nonstop. Forget the big chain Mexican restaurants, this is truly authentic Mexican food.

This review is straight from my heart and stomach , food so good I didn’t know I was vibing the entire dinner . Special shoutout to yazmin such a sweet girlie , her friendly attitude made the dinner even a better experience. Definitely recommending chicken tacos with spicy sauce and burrito California.

We were sat immediately and got our food really quick. It was all so good. I got the birria tacos with rice and beans, other people in the group got fajitas and quesadillias. Everyone loved their food. The server was very good and attentive. The inside was really colorful. The pricing was pretty average.

A local favorite where tourists are always welcome. Surprisingly good Mexican food. My family enjoyed the traditional tacos, the taco salad, and the chorizo quesadilla. All solid options! Our server was super nice. Se habla: “me gusta mucho”

The service was quick, the waiter was nice and the food was great. The margaritas were also very good. I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for Mexican food.

Everything was great. Service was fast. Food was great and fresh. Everything was season well. Everything was hot. The server didn't check on us enough. I wanted another drink. But he didn't come back until was done eating.

The whole family enjoyed it. Very charming and authentic atmosphere. Good prices and portion sizes. Service was good - always like when they come to refill the chip + salsa bowl before you ask!
