    The salsa was a nice thicker consistency with a good taste. I went specifically to try the quesabirria tacos and couldn't have been more happy. The meat was moist and tender, the flavor was amazing. I really liked the beans, they seemed darker with a better flavor than I've had before. Do yourself a favor and save room for dessert, this tres leches cake was some of the best I have ever had.

    10/10 !! Came in on a Saturday night around 730. Not busy. Seated quickly. Chips and salsa were good! Salsa was really flavorful. Not something you see at typical Mexican joints. Queso was delicious. Ordered Birra tacos, burrito, arroz con Pollo and the elote. My fiancé had the watermelon dream drink and said it was one of the best “cocktails” he’s had. Their coke was good too :P Food was hot and fresh. Service was great. Our waitress was super friendly. Total with tip was under $60. We will definitely be going back!

    This place was excellent!! Went here last weekend with a few friends and ordered the birria tacos. They were second to none absolutely delicious. Our waitress Phoebe treated us with some of the best customer service I've experienced in a long time. I will definitely be back and recommend everyone gives it a try, you wont be disappointed.

    We (4 of us) went here on our lunch break from work. We were a little hesitant as we had seen a previous review. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. Once seated our server, Patrick approached and asked what we would like to drink. Once he came back he asked if we needed more time. We had looked the menu over and had some questions. He instantly informed us he was new and wasn't sure. ( I totally respected that) He left and went and got the correct information. He was very friendly and did great with the service. We did go here with very low expectations, but we sure left full from the great food! They have GREAT Elote corn! I would definitely recommend this place and I will be returning.

    This place is AMAZING!! From the food to the ambiance to the service, it all was wonderful. The food was served quickly and tasted authentic. Our waiter was friendly and made sure to check in on us during our meal frequently. I especially appreciate how clean they keep the place. Overall, our experience was great and we’ll be sure to be back!

    The food here is incredible! Fresh and delicious is the words I'd use to describe everything I've tried. Service is also excellent as is the atmosphere. Recommend the birria dishes of different varieties-we had a burrito and quesadilla. Best chips and salsa I've had too! We will definitely be returning!

    Was super excited to try this place out and it did not disappoint. When me and my husband got there, there was about 8/9 tables occupied already and only like 2 servers. It seemed like they were short staffed at the moment so we thought it would take a long time to get food out. Thankfully it wasn’t as I imagined. And even though our servers were so busy trying to serve everyone they were kind and tried to be as attentive as they could. (The other day we went to another restaurant where they were short staffed and one of the employees was clearly frustrated and did not hide that from the customers). Their chips and salsa were really good and included! Such a big plus for us because we’ve been to other Mexican restaurants where it’s not and it’s honestly a big bummer. We had their queso birria tacos which were great! My husband did get a margarita which he felt was on the weaker side but not a deal breaker for us. We will definitely be returning and trying other dishes. Oh! As the evening went by there were more employees that showed up and were just as nice. One of them went around each table asking if they needed anything. Unsure if it might’ve been a manager or something. Either way, I recommend!
