Delicious margaritas, quesadillas and everything else! Fast friendly service. Reasonable prices.

Wait staff was very attentive and friendly. Waitress was quick to take plates. Almost a little to quick. The food has no flavor at all. The only thing with flavor was the beans and salsa. The wraps for the tacos were wet and fell apart super easy almost making them useless. I ate one and couldn't eat the rest... Two people in my party ordered the fajitas and said they were good. My meal on the other hand wasn't great.. overall I'd save your money and go else where.

Service is good and prompt but they're really skimping on ingredients: I got a burrito with squash and they charged us a buck for the squash and a buck for the potato we didn't even want. Charged us a buck for the salsa we asked for because the burrito had zero flavor.Note: if they ask you if you "want something" you're going to pay extra for it.So we paid $14 for a mostly rice burrito with very little of anything else!Asked for a corona and they didn't ask what kind they just gave us the light (didn't know Corona had a light version).Another time I got a regular taco and I needed a magnifying glass to find the meat sparsed out in the beans...And $5 for a corona??No, no never never never going back to this place... I'm done!!

Visited this authentic mexican spot for a quick bite, didn’t realize how terrible the service was. Sat at the bar ordered 2 drinks which took 30 minutes to get. Tried to order a small meal to eat and ended up having to cancel the order due to slow service and inattentive bar help. Was so surprised to see my bill for 2 small Cheap drinks was 28.00. We were not the only ones complaining about this service either. So disappointing!

The food is great service needs work.They offered chips and salsa. Normally free at most restaurants. She then brought me beans and 2 TINY dishes of salsa instead and up charged me for the appetizer. ?Then I asked for chicken enchiladas with molé (my favorite dish) and she asked me if I was sure that’s what I wanted….Like what? Yes, isn’t that what I asked? She was like “I don’t really like molé.” Why are you telling me this?Then she when she brought me my drink asked me to repeat my order because she hadn’t put it in yet.And then when I ate every bite on the plate because it was good She was like “wow, you really liked that?!”What are you doing girl? I get I’m black but I’m not new to Mexican cuisine mija.

Had a very nice dinner. Excellent atmosphere and friendly service. It got busy (Friday dinner scene), but the staff worked hard to keep up. Had Chips Rancheros (nachos), which was great. Also had street corn which was a bit too salty for my taste.

Delicious food and great atmosphere - chef came and spoke with us for a bit- it was such a wonderfully fun and delicious night! Felt good to be around great food and people- truly reminds you of the importance of gathering around meals- could feel the love of ingredients, family and culture.

Love my Mexican and admit the food was just fine. But the price for value was sadly lacking. $18 for a burrito served alone on a plate in wax paper like a takeout? $90 total ticket for two people eating vegetarian. Pitchers were not filled and lotsa ice. Just… not enough bang for buck.

Good food and good service. Great location to Dunkin Donuts Center. Although, disappointed with prices. I was charged $8.25 for a glass of wine that was listed on the menu for $7. The price change was never disclosed. After paying the bill, I questioned the waitress she said the menu was “pre-COVID” and the owner never changed the menu prices since their reopening. They have been reopened for at least 3 months. My bill was never adjusted and I was never given compensation in any way for the non disclosure.
