Excellent service and food

The food & service here were OK, but not as good as other Mexican restaurants I have eaten at. The menu items are also pricey.

I really enjoy coming to this Mexican restaurant! Every time I come I try a new menu item and each time they are on point! This time I ordered the enchiladas supreme and my friend ordered the 3 tacos. I really loved my meal. It was so flavorful. Last time I ordered the flank steak and that was amazing as well! Never had a bad meal here.

Tried this other location down the road on route one. I loved the decor and the chairs, it had a cantina feel to it. Overall the ambiance was great, and service was also very good. We had the birria tacos and the chimichanga. The chimichanga was delicious but the birria tacos was very disappointing - while the taco shell was good, the meat and the sauce were tasteless. The sauce was so watery with no flavor. I'll give it another try because the food at the other location on Richmond highway has not disappointed me yet.

Went with a group of 16. It took a while to get drink orders, and even longer to get food orders taken. We had to ask for silverware once the food arrived. Everyone seemed happy with what they selected. Portions were ample! Large menu made it had to decide what to get!

Not sure why we keep trying Mexican food in other states. Chicagoland area has good Mexican food with lots of flavor. Even the chain Chipotle has more flavor than here. The shrimp fajitas were chewy and had no seasoning. The Barbacoa Gringo tacos has no seasoning either. The rice and beans very bland. One a good note- food was ready promptly and take out containers organized.

Absolutely love coming here. Friendly staff, great atmosphere and the food yesssss love the food.

Great food! Will definitely be on our plan when we visit Washington DC or Alexandria in next time. Pricing is fantastic and food is so tasty!!

This was an amazing experience with very attentive staff, amazing food, and killer drinks. The decor was totally unique at each sitting area with beautiful chairs, murals, and sculptures. The menu was very diverse and the portions generous and well worth the price. They take cash and cards without issue.

I found this place while walking around my hotel with my mom, looking for a place to have dinner. Decided to try the banderita enchiladas. They were delicious and the portions were so generous I had to take my leftovers to the hotel and finish them the next day. The staff is very friendly, the ones I interacted with were bilingual. The atmosphere of the place is very colorful and welcoming. It was overall a great experience I had as a tourist! I recommend this place 100%.
