My wife took me here for my birthday! Excellent food, good prices. If you like to be special for your birthday...this is the place to go! We'll be going back to try everything on the menu. Drinks are We'll made and they don't skimp on the alcohol.
Very bland basic food, does not justify the price at all. Can find much better Mexican food for half the cost easily. Even disregarding the prices, they have no chips and salsa and no side of rice or beans with the fajitas, which were cooked pretty poorly (we had the steak), so the price is unjustified even more. Gave us both stomach aches too. Not great

Omg this is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the city. It’s cute and clean. The staff is helpful, friendly, and speedy. The food was absolutely delicious. Me and my two friends loved it! I had a chicken burrito and it was amazing. The salad that came with it was so yummy too. The chips and salsa were so delicious, it was the best salsa I ever had. We had flan for dessert and it was absolutely incredible. Everything was presented beautifully and was very tasty. I’m so happy I came here, I really enjoyed my food and the atmosphere. I recommend this restaurant and hope to come back soon.
The food looked good and a decent amount, however the skirt steak was undercooked( I asked for medium but it was mostly rare). The Guacamole was good but not really spicy( I did ask for medium spice level though). The drink wasn't great I struggle to finish it and I can have quite a few. The waiter was good and attentive. The atmosphere was good except for the customers with dogs that kept barking at each other and every other dog that passed by. I don't think I'll be returning.
We came here b/c it was right around the corner from where I live and mom was craving Mexican. Also, we were looking for a spot that was a little quiet because we are meeting our family for the first time from 23 and me. All I can say is this place is phenomenal. The manager/owner (don’t know who she is) but she realized something special was going on and at the end of our meal gave us an amazing dessert that my mother absolutely loved. This completely topped off the
occasion. We absolutely love this place, the food and the staff. I wouldn’t go anywhere else in the neighborhood. So friendly & they have a patron for life ☺️ (2nd pic is me back on my own w/my baby girl).

Guac was good. Spicy on jalapeños were found. Cool bathroom decors and restaurant decors matchy.
Love the chicken tortilla soup. Margaritas were mid, cobb salad were good but not enough veggies. Would come back for soup. And shrimps were big nd juicy but i want grill!
However, chips were amazing love plantain crisps.

Update: returned again 3 years later and food was exceptional. Very delicious and so much flavor. The host and servers were very kind. The owner even checked in with us to make sure all was well. The food is being cooked with passion now and you can tell from the plating to the multitude of flavors.
