Such a great place They have authentic cuisine and make delicious guacamole freshly right in front of you Happy atmosphere and great service

Excellent service and amazing food! Thank you all! Special thanks to my server this evening, she didn’t miss a beat and made us feel so welcomed! She’s a gem and I appreciate your attentiveness and kindness! We look forward to dining with you all again soon! Made my day for sure! ❤️

Two of us arrived about 3 pm for an impromptu late lunch...had never been here before. Food & service were excellent! And I loved the ambiance...very nicely reflecting Latin culture. (I imagine in the evening and at night it is even more interesting.) It was not a very busy time of day when we arrived. It seems counterintuitive, but I have often observed that service (in some restaurants) is not as good in the slow hours. But here, I was impressed that the staff were *very* attentive to my needs and requests. I appreciated this aspect of my service there, and it shows they have mature, responsible employees and a good level of management and training. Also, the food was carefully and beautifully prepared and deliciously fresh! Such attention to the details made my meal extremely pleasant. It is, after all, ultimately about the customers! Thank you!

Love love love the table side guacamole. Everything was great, including my husband’s vegetarian meal. The shrimp and scallop meal was excellent and a great value

Delicious Mexican food and huge portions! The salsa had just the right amount of spice. They are able to accommodate larger groups with ease. Highly recommend the chicken fajitas or the pork carnitas. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great ambiance. We were celebrating two birthdays and it really made their night to have the entire restaurant sing to them. I’ll be back soon for a giant margarita!

Nice outing nice out door sitting ? staff was friendly fast service.

Great service good food !

Good food when craving Mexican. Vegetables in vegetable fajita were a bit greasy though. The service was friendly and helpful. The frequency of the birthday song blaring on the speakers outside definitely detracted from the meal… and not even feliz cumpleaño.

When I first walked in I had to go to the restroom, upon coming to our table the floor was very slippery and I slid and almost busted my but. I told our waiter about the incident and I don’t think he knew English very well he said I’ll let someone know. They brought my food first at least 20 minutes before my husband and son. Why? I don’t know. I tried to eat real slow waiting for my families food to come out. Finally their food was brought. I’d ordered 3 beef enchiladas, but I received one chicken and a beef and chopped beef. I told the manager and he brought me my correct order. As far as the food it was not terrible, but far from good. The chips were not fresh and not crispy at all. My plate of food looked like they just threw lettuce, carrots and random pieces of vegetables on top. The enchiladas didn’t have a really good flavor either. I don’t like to write bad reviews, but for the price of this food which was kind of pricey, it should’ve in my opinion been much better. As far as cleanliness, the place was clean and pleasant and the waiter did bring us extra tea, water.

Excellent food, beautiful presentation, clean and friendly. To share a bit more: This was a rare opportunity to go out to lunch during the week with my teenage daughter. We ordered from the lunch menu but when the food came out my daughter commented that she had an extra burrito. I asked our waitress and she grabbed a menu to check. Turns out she thought we were ordering the dinner portions. She was apologetic and said she'd speak to the manager. I wasn't going to waste food to get a different portion size. We enjoyed our meal and the waitress came to check on us again asking if the manager had come over. He had checked on us but did not interrupt our meal. I told her don't worry about it, we ate the meals, I had some leftover for lunch today and how much difference in price was there really. She really fretted and asked "you're not mad?" I said no we're fine. I think it's sad that restaurant employees are not appreciated more and she had to worry that I was going to be an irate customer. Mistakes happen, I wish others would cut them some slack. I'd go back again and have no worries because I know they'd make it right.
