I did not like the food here and it was by a noisy street. They had live music which was great but not so great if you wanted a conversation.

Nice outdoor seating and great food

Food quality has gone down over the past few months. Entres come out like warm, fajitas were a soggy mess. Even the guac wasn’t done right. The only saving grace was chips and salsa and the margaritas.

Loved the food. We ordered Empanadas and Fajitas and loved both of them. The drinks were amazing and strong. Their complementary chips and salsa were amazing.

The food was tasty Manuel was a good server

Great patio dining with very attentive service. I had the short rib enchiladas mole. Delicious. Looking forward to coming back.

Outside is much quieter than inside, especially when they have live music, which the did.

They overcooked my steak. The root hash was undercooked. Service very slow though our server was pleasant. I wouldn't recommend this place.

We sat for 20 minutes before we were greeted. When the appetizer arrived it was an empanada that was raw inside. We received our entrees and the rice was crunchy as if they scraped it off the bottom of the pan and our food had no salt or flavor. The tortillas seemd like they had been reheated several times and were hard and dry not freshly warmed. Will not be going here again.

On our way to our usual taco spot for "Taco Tuesday" and saw this spot, so decided to give it a try. After given a table, we were served tortilla chips with 2 salsas. The salsas provided were really good and had a bit of a kick to it too. Ordered the Vegetarian Chile Relleno Poblano and the Tacos Del Mar taco platter. The chile relleno was great with all the flavors blending well together. The Tacos Del Mar was a bit underwhelming. It came with 3 tacos (shrimp, fish and octopus) but oddly tasted the same. Will definitely have to give this spot another try. Also, it would be nice to have an a la carte option for tacos for customers that don't have a big appetite.
