Food was very good! We got birria tacos, an enchilada, queso and their tres leches.Cons:*service was not very good, they were very busy so we understood, but two of our side items did not come out until we were done with our meal, we asked for napkins that never came and our to-go dessert was forgotten about.*we went on a Friday night and the inside was so loud - they had a DJ and everything. Not really what we were looking for in a dinner ambiance.

This place is THE BEST. Fresh Guacamole is a MUST! The drinks are strong, which I love. The food was fast, fresh, and had great flavor. We wanted tequila shots and waiter suggested some Mezcal which was probably one of the best I’ve ever had. If I lived closer, I would be here every day!

We arrived later in the evening and the restaurant was still very busy. We waited about 10 mins for our table. Upon ordering they told us they had no “ripe “ avocados” for the made to order guacamole and we would not be able to order that but they did allow us to order the ready-made guacamole. They brought us out chips and salsa and that was tasty. The made to order guacamole was exactly how they described the avocados - big chunks of unripened avocados mixed through out it was not good. Our 2nd batch of chips and salsa consisted of pure watery salsa and the waiter did apologize for that. The queso we ordered was fairly good. The woman’s bathroom was deplorable- woman’s sanitary napkins, etc all over the floor, one toilet was completed clogged with feces. Trash overflowing all over the place. It’s too bad because we visited this establishment before and had a good visit. Unfortunately this time will seal the deal that we won’t be back.

I'm visiting Orlando as a tourist with my family, we are a group of 12. I called to this restaurant from Universal to reserve a table. They told me they couldn't reserve, but they would write my name down and when I arrive I would have the next table available. They put my name for 7:3] on, not since they were clear there was no reservation I didn't call them to tell them we were delay. We got to the restaurant at 7:45. When we told the guy in the front my name he said we were late in our reservation and now we would have to wait. Even than in PR you have 15 minutes before they cancel your reservation, al that moment I was under the impression that there was no reservation, so I said "ok, I'll wait", mostly bc he did that the next table was ours. No way. People kept leaving and they kept accommodating other people that arrived after us. After 45 minutes and after the Manager came to confirm that we were 12, he never came back. With my nephew with with a low sugar situation, we had to leave and go to another restaurant. I could have appreciate that the manager tell me from the moment I arrived that he couldn't give me a table and that way I would move to another restaurant right away, because my nephew has diabetes type 2 and the time we had to wait was very crucial for him. The manager didn't try at all to help us. So be sure to have a reservation and get on time if you really want to go to this restaurant. I will never go to a place that didn't understood our situation.

Oh my goodness. First time here and I'm surprised by the portions and quality of the food. I'll be back for sure, next time with a bigger estomago. Mari our server was muy excellente!

This is one of my go to places when I visit my friends in Orlando. The food is excellent and the margaritas are some of the best I've ever had. It can get packed. They do have some tables outside if you want a more quiet meal. Very reasonably priced. Will be back next time I visit my friends. Stay thirsty my friends;

We visited because of a mention in the local newspaper and the place didn’t disappoint. Delicious carne asada and other plates. Even their guacamole was amazing. The piña colada was tasty and large. The food came in large portions too and we all had left overs to take home. The inside is noisy but the outside was pleasant. Friendly service and delicious food. What else to can you ask for!

Hector did an amazing job when we visited. He was super sweet and he kept checking in on us. The food also came out quick and he made sure we were good throughout dinner. Highly recommend this location and asking for Hector!

First time here. This place was amazing! The music was fireee! And Maria was our waiter - she was the best.

This was the best Mexican restaurant we have ever been to. Service sensational! Food so good! Everything was exactly what we ordered and had leftovers! Great atmosphere. Will be going here again and again! Fresh food and came out piping hot!
