I came in and sat at the bar and my bartender was the hillarious and very knowledgeable Stacey. After making a killer margarita she recommended the Tacos Al Pastor for me. I ordered them with grilled chicken. They came with three soft corn tortillas, chicken, shredded cabbage, cilantro, onions and an amazing tomatillo sauce. They were excellent. The music selection was a nice mix of rock, pop, and dance music with traditional Mariachi music in between. Stacey introduced me to everyone at the bar who were all very friendly and easy to talk to. I felt very welcome and will definitely be coming back again.

The Margaritas are awesome. I love the cheese dip, it's so yummy. Most of the food I have had is just great, very comforting delicious food.

The veggie quesadilla were good. Rest was absolutely a big disappointment. Chicken tortilla soup tasted like red chili powder in water. Beans and rice have 0 flavor. And the spinach quesadilla should not be on our menu - it’s just boiled spinach leaves with cheese (common…)

The tacos I ordered came with rice and beans and it made it a well rounded meal. The shrimp and fish tacos were amazing but the al pastor taco meat was lack luster and a bit dry

The perfect whole in the wall Mexican restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and very attentive. The margs were great and the food was spectacular. 10/10 definitely a hidden gem. Will absolutely be going back soon!!!

One of the best burritos I have ever had.

Solid spot. It's hard to give a review on the service and atmosphere because I went during a down time. The food was pretty good and I like the presentation of the rice & beans in the tortilla cups. I had the shrimp and bacon tacos which were pretty good.

Went in for the first time on Wings Wednesday. $0.50 wings with the purchase of a bud product. The wings were really good, margaritas were great, the staff were awesome and explained their margaritas in depth. Will definitely be going back.

Got takeout from here for the first time. Delicious food! Generous portions! Prices were fair. Our order came with plenty of sauces and some tortilla chips which was a nice surprise. I would highly recommend this place, looking forward to going again.

Delicious food! Great service! And the Blackberry Margarita was AMAZING!! Will visit again when in the area!
