I had a horrible experience here with my family. First off the waiter had the biggest attitude with us from the start for no reason. He asked the table next to if they had any allergies, did he ask us? Nope and my sister did have a shellfish allergy. Whatever we left that alone. Once we got our dessert, it was basically thrown at us. Not even a you’re welcome or an enjoy. Just told your plate are there and walked away. Definitely don’t recommend if you’re of Spanish decent. You’ll see a difference in how you’ll get treated. That’s how I understood it. I’ve never been treated like this and it’s disappointing that my family experienced this and we’re very new to the area.

Very clean, well designed decor that mixes a cantina feel with a neighborhood bar. I was with an unannounced group of 15 and even with a server in training, every order was correct, served quickly and delicious. The portions are true to the prices and everything was very fresh. I was super impressed with the entire experience and definitely will be back.

Wonderful fun atmosphere with a flavorful twist on old favorites. The spices do not disappoint and the margaritas are freshly made. Friendly staff was very welcoming.

Great shrimp tacos and frozen margaritas!

Walked in without realizing that it was restaurant week and had an absolute excellent meal. Prickly pear margarita, small plate of nachos, three al pastor tacos with pineapple and pork and finally some hot freshly fried churros with vanilla and chocolate cream. Everything I had was hot and delicious. The server was also very attentive and even gave me suggestions of how to order the margaritas in the future (wish I had known I could order it spicy).

This place was suggested off the cuff by a friend and it definitely didn’t disappoint. We split an entree of the fajita combo, steak and chicken which was delicious but I think my favorite thing on the menu was the app trio (can’t recall the exact name) but it was a taco, Tecate and a shot of tequila! ? And for only $10 it’s the perfect deal. Actually the taco might have been the best thing I had! The atmosphere was top notch too. Will definitely be returning to experience more of the menu ??

Would 100% recommend this place to anyone! The service we had was amazing as the host and manager accommodated us to sit out on the patio with our dog.Everyone was incredibly friendly, brought water for our dog without us even asking, and was extremely attentive. The chef even came out with some cooked chicken for him to munch on!On top of all that, our drinks were delicious and our food was outstanding. We both got tacos (I got shrimp, my boyfriend got Al Pastor), and we ate everything on our plate.Will definitely be back!

Great bartender, cool atmosphere ?

The chips and guacamole were good as starters and so was the classic margarita. My daughter had the quesadilla with steak also pretty good. My salad was drenched in dressing with wilted spinach:( I should know never to order salads without knowing if the restaurant actually puts some thought into them.

Food and service were both great!
