I ordered the Burrito El Guapo sans chicken, it came with fried plantains. I also tried some of my sister's fajitas. For dessert, I had the Talega Del Platano.First off, the chips and salsa were decent. Nothing spectacular, but you could tell that it was relatively fresh.I ordered some Guacamole to try it with the chips, but I was disappointed that it was only mediocre, especially for the price they charged for a small bowl.The burrito was really good! It didn't taste like anything I had before and it was at an adequate temperature (a little it hot and then gradually gets to the perfect warm temperature as your meal goes on).The fried plantains tasted like fried plantains, you either like the taste or you don't. I personally love them, so these were very delightful.The vegetables in the fajitas were cooked with some seasoning that was PHENOMENAL. I don't really know how to describe it, but it was very flavorful and even one bite gave a burst of flavor in my mouth.The dessert (Talega Del Platano) was also nothing short of wonderful. It was a fried tortilla with the sides up (to make a sort of "bag") with some sweet pink filling inside alongside a scoop of ice cream. This dessert is definitely a must-have for anyone with a sweet tooth.Overall, the chips and salsa and guacamole was average but the actual food and dessert were well-worth their price tag.

Great place to sit, relax, enjoy the food, have a drink and a great conversation.

Wonderful experience. Our waitress was extremely sweet and the food was absolutely amazing! Plus you can’t go wrong with great margaritas!

The passionfruit margarita is bomb and I highly recommend. I had the shrimp fajitas which was a large portion and very tasty.

Foods awesome, great service and cool decor

Nice place to enjoy some good tacos. I had octopus taco for the first time and it was delicious.

You can tell when people give a damn. The service was friendly and effective, the food was amongst the best Mexican style I have had.The beef short rib was melt in the mouth, the shrimp fajita was simply tasty. It was all fresh and served with a genuine smile.It is a pity this place isn't open earlier and on Sunday.

Delicious food. I got the el platano and it was good, but my partner got the Mexican flag and I wanted to steal his dish, so good! And the drinks are to die for, I’m not a huge tequila fan but I think I’ve been made a believer. Love the vibes inside too.

First time here and the experience was great. The food was really tasty. I would like to say that one of the best dishes if not the best is El plátano. The server was awesome, great attitude. Wonderful atmosphere, and the decor is mind blowing.

Genuinely shocked this chain makes area top restaurant lists. Service was subpar, atmosphere not super special and strangely dim. Food was bland, honestly the best part was the free salsa and warm chips. We had the Mexican Flag enchiladas- the orange one is good, the others bland. And Barbacoa quesadilla- the meat was excessively oily and the consome was half oil with very light flavor. We also had the chorizo y guacamole... not impressed.
