    I've visited twice since they've opened and let me tell you they have some AMAZING food!!! I strongly recommend stopping in for some Mexican food. Had the tacos and tamales. It was one of the best tamales I've had in a VERY long time. atmosphere is awesome, and they have a lot of cool ideas to keep things light and fun. They even have a full service bar. New owners and I can't say anything bad about this place!

    I had a great visit here with my family. The food was incredible and fresh. Tortilla made in house. Nachos were incredible. Drinks, food, and service were all above par. Thank you Chef Mario and Elvia a great night! See you again soon!!

    New new new and Delicioso!!!I wish I could have eaten more! We had the pastor and asada tacos... super tasty! I love that that they do not skimp on quality. They use full size tortillas and pack in the meat so there is no need to add anything else but their delicious salsa! We received wonderful service and the lovely owners were so attentive. This awesome restaurant will certainly be at the top of my new favorites. Can't wait to try more of their food and amazing pastries!

    This was one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. Staff were awesome, service was prompt and good was well worth it. Highly recommend shrimp tacos, and quesadillas were also good! Would 100% go back

    I came here because the photos looked great. It was such a good find! I’m not from the area but it’s on my list for when I’m back in town. Fantastic service, made me feel welcome and well taken care of. Their ambiance was great with nice decor and music; it was clear a lot of care had been given to keep it looking nice and clean. The food was fantastic, from the chips and salsa, to the ceviche (fresh, colorful, acidito, picosito), to the empanadas which smelled amazing and tasted even better! I didn’t have any drinks this time, but their drink menu has nice variety. I can’t wait to come back!

    Excellent food, the staff is amazing. Tried a few things and everything was delicious, including the desserts. Here are a few pictures of some items. The coconut flan is soo good! Definitely get the Mexican corn! I had the chicken fajitas, highly recommend it. I also tried 3 tacos, the steak, the tinga and the carnitas, WOW! So much flavor in all the food. Even the chips and salsa are great. For sure coming back!

    Omg. The best Authentic Mexican food I've had in years. Sorry I don't have pic of the food, we we're so busy talking to the waiter and trying drinks that, by the way you won't be sorry to try either. Anyway I completely forgot to take pics of the food. I had the steak burrito dinner $18.00 which was excellent. My dgt had 2 steak taco dinner $13.00 also excellent. The restaurant is very clean. The staff kept our non alcoholic drinks full (dgt also had a pepsi. I had water). The dessert cupcakes are home made. I bought 4 to take home. Each one was so fresh and delicious. I can't wait to go back. You have to try this place, you won't be sorry. Fun dining experience here, I'm sure you'll also enjoy. Oh the chips and salsa are very good also. What are you wanting for....Go!!! Go get some good Mexican food.
