Love this place. It's one of my favorites. The atmosphere, food, and service are great. Wasn't sure what I wanted to order and the staff recommended the nachos and they were delicious. Can't wait to go back...

Great spot for some food and drinks with friends. The atmosphere at this location is welcoming and the open indoor/outdoor dining creates a perfect flow between the order counter and seating.Staff was friendly and attentive.We started with a couple of drinks and were blown away by their margarita. Let's be honest, it's really not that hard to make a good margarita, but their seasonal flavors are what elevated it above what you would typically expect.The food was amazing. Delicious high quality ingredients in traditional Mexican dishes with a modern twist. Their crunchy shells made the perfect vessels for their barbacoa and toppings which I thoroughly enjoyed.Their chips were fresh and thin, complimented by a very delightful salsa. All of their sides were delicious - specifically the cilantro rice which my only complaint was that I wish I had more to eat!

Got a burrito bowl to go and it came in a normal to go container, so decent amount of food right? Nope. There is a smaller bowl in there that they “fill” up. Highest part of try food doesn’t even cover the fork section…there is MAYBE a quarter of the To go container amount of food in this. Not to mention the rice is rock hard…like cooked for 5 minutes, not the 20 it needed. For the price I just spent, I should have gotten at least half is not 3/4 full container. Did return it, and the staff was good about excepting it and giving us a refund.

Lee and John was great. I must explain my experience. I ordered 3 dishes and came to the store to pick it up. After I got back to work I realized that we did not have the salsa or the chips to go with our meal. After reaching back out to the staff the manager apologize and made sure that we had our chips and salsa ready. I appreciate the customer service that was delivered with the staff at 119 and my team will be back.

Traveling with our little dog we needed a place that would allow our four-legged companion. We wouldn't have discovered this incredible place had we not brought Elliott on our road trip. The food was incredibly delicious and the service was even better.

We had a great time for lunch. Very fast and plenty of sitting. All employees were super sweet!!

Half price margaritas Tuesday at 3 to close. Food is good. Staff is casual but friendly/ attractive

Picked up food for my mother’s birthday, she has had it a few times and loved it, it was my first time and it was some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. Thank you for a great experience!

Amazing food and even better customer service. Had a glitch with online order and they corrected it quickly and gave me some extra. Love this place.

Insane wait times to order. While the food is good, the cramped, long lines to place your order are nuts. Not sure if their menu is just too complicated for local people to figure out, but, choose to dine here, and you run the risk of waiting 20-30 minutes. Nothing fast or casual about this place.
