Stopped in for happy hour because I wasn't sure what I had a taste for as a birthday treat. I was seated immediately, they told me happy birthday multiple times which was sweet. Michelle was the bartender and the woman who brought my food out was so attentive and conversational. We had a nice quick chat about the Watermelon Margarita(delicious BTW). I ordered the Stacked Nachos with beef. The chips were good, the queso was good as well but the beef left a lot to be desired, not seasoned well and too oily. The drinks were great however. Overall, I would go back for the cocktails alone!

So I'm never going here again. First off, we got there when it wasn't even busy, but people started showing up and was getting their food before WE did. It was over 30 mins before we received our food. There were 3 of us, everyone else's food was ok but my 3 steak taco dinner came out with a sh ton of lettuce on top, right. So I always inspect my food, especially when it looks like a cover-up. And it was. I had burnt AND raw pieces of steak. One tacos had ALL raw. I wish I had gotten a pic of that but the waitress saw it. She was the best thing in that place. The drinks were good too so that's why I gave an overall 2 starts. DON'T GO HERE. EVEN THE MENU IS SMALLER SND SUCKS. They used to have plain churros. NOW, they only have them stuffed with chocolate. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Do better!

Upon entering, it did take a minute to be seated, but not long. The greater was very nice and respectful. Lights were low and smelled of fresh good food. Our waiter Hunter was really nice, knowing it was my birthday 🎂 everyone was friendly. The food was just right. House made tortillas are great, just everything. Should get Hunter to make you a spicy Rita. The presentation was beautiful and cooked to perfection. I will come back. Thank you

I have been here a couple of times over the years and for the most part I would say it has been solid. If I am going to have authentic Mexican food I prefer the small restaurants, but in a pinch this will do.

My buddy and I got grilled fish tacos and enchiladas which were pretty good. The tacos could use less slaw and some more sauce but overall they were good. The chips and salsa that they bring to the table is pretty good and easy to fill up on so take it slow with those. If we're meeting up again in the area it will be on our radar.

I liked it. The server was very polite, the menu is simple and short but definitely enough to choose something. Food came out quickly although it wasn’t busy at the time i was there. Everything tasted fantastic and looked fresh and just made. None of that microwave warmed stuff. And also salsa and chips were exquisite. Probably the best tortilla chips I’ve ever tasted, thin and crispy. Salsa was also fantastic not too hot, just right. Would recommend this restaurant to try it.
