Best mole sauce in the area! We met the owner, Mark, at a wines of Mexico tasting event and his knowledge and passion for Mexican cuisine showed through so much we had to visit his restaurant. The margaritas, queso, enchiladas, and burrito we had were all excellent. We’ll definitely be back!

Nice cozy bar atmosphere. Great service at the bar. Good happy hour specials. Nachos were very good! Empanada was crispy and good. I didn't care for shrimp Taco, shrimp were too small not very flavorful and watery. My husband loved his beef tacos.

Tuesday it's happy hour all day and that is when we went! There is a kids menu that my children enjoyed. We had nachos, tostadas and tacos (I had steak). Everything came out hot and pretty quickly. The tostadas and nachos were crunchy but overall, everything was not super flavorful. My husband did takeout a few weeks before and that was amazing- this was good but not great. My margarita was good.

A great place that has been around forever. Chips are great, not too salty. Taco Tuesday always has great options. I do have a few critiques. These are based on my taste and others may disagree. I feel that the guacamole has too many onions. My other observation is that the customer has to interact with too many employees. You are seated by one, water by another, order taken by another, and food delivered by yet another. The patron never gets to bond with one person and if you need something, it is hard to find your person. I needed hot sauce when my meal arrived, but our waiter didn’t even know our food had arrived. Just observations, we will be back.

Use to come here years ago with a few old friends and honestly it’s still the BEST spot you could come to for some great tacos and drinks !! I came here the other day with my friend she never been it was a great time.The guacamole and chips great starter, wings was good taste like they were smoked really good and we got tacos hard and soft beef and shrimp really good and also Carlos waiter was really good doing more than one table still great service thanks wish I could give 10 stars

Very impressed! The happy hour prices were extremely fair, so we were able to try a nice variety of things. Queso was tasty, margarita cold and strong, and our nachos/tacos delicious. Service was also a highlight with everyone we interacted with quick and congenial. Definitely recommend!

It's f****** yummy here. Can't tell more. Can say less the margaritas. The chef Margarita actually is phenomenal. I tasted like beef tacos. They were sensational. I mean the draping out of fat in a good way. I wished nachos would be served warm like another place is, but that's okay. That guacamole makes makes it worthwhile. The rice is excellent. Excellent, excellent. Wow! I order some more rice only because it's that good. This is what you visualize Mexican rice needs to be. I'm definitely advised to come and visit.

A good Mexican restaurant in the area…

Service-
Really good service, the server was polite and attentive.
The chef missed something on our order, the server apologized multiple times. Very nice of her.

Ambiance-
Inside and outside seating, good space.
Warm lighting and colorful ambiance.

Food -
We ordered
Freshly Squeezed Lemonade- very good must have in these summer days.

Grilled Corn - must definitely try this,
Super tasty and freshly grilled.

Chicken quesadilla- good in taste, would use some spice.

Chicken enchiladas- the sauce was good and we liked that the enchiladas were not that cheesy. It was very nicely cooked.
