As a vegetarian, I was initially concerned that the cheese enchiladas would be too heavy for me, so I opted for the bean enchiladas instead, paired with rice and beans on the side. They topped the dish with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and a sprinkle of cotija cheese. It was all so well-prepared and fresh that I might even consider the cheese enchiladas on my next visit! Everything was light and delicious. My husband ordered the three taco plate, which came with a side of beans and rice. He enjoyed every taco — both beef and chicken — and couldn't stop raving about how flavorful the food was, claiming it to be the best Mexican food he’s ever had. Our young son simply wanted a bean b...

The food at this restaurant is fantastic and incredibly tasty, and the micheladas are delightful. However, the wait time for service is excessively long. While the servers are friendly, they seem to lack experience and can be quite forgetful. I suggest that they consider hiring another cook and invest time in properly training the servers on table service. If these improvements are made, I would happily change my review to five stars because I am a regular customer who truly enjoys the food here.

Great experience. I didn't have a lot to spend so the woman handling the order suggested a certain item that was on the specials for lunch. She said it would give me the most food for the amount. Great tasting food with a very tasty salsa. I don't order a drink so, without asking, she brought me a cup of ice water. Nice place, very polite employees and great food. I'm definitely coming back.

The mango aguachile and shrimp ceviche here are outstanding. I believe the chef mentioned he’s from Guerrero, Mexico, and his recipes are truly excellent. The service can get a bit slow at times, but the delicious food more than makes up for it. They also make their own michelada mix with chamoy, which is really tasty. I highly recommend this place if you enjoy ceviche or aguachile! Book a table now

We stopped by for lunch on Saturday and ordered chicken enchiladas and a carne asada taco, while my wife chose al pastor and shrimp tacos. The food was delicious, and even the beans had great flavor! The chicken was incredibly tasty and remained juicy, while all the meats were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Everything was fantastic! We can’t wait to come back!

The food here is excellent, and the service is friendly and quick. I typically order the 3 taco plate with either asada or al pastor. The meats are tender and packed with flavor, and their creamy green salsa is a perfect 10/10. Definitely give this place a try; they truly deserve it!

The food was excellent, but my group and I had to wait up to 45 minutes for our meals. We had to eat quickly since we were on a tight lunch break. One person in our group ended up taking their food to go and ate it in the car. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're short on time.

It took over half an hour to get our food. Like maybe 45 minutes. And the place was empty when we got there. The woman who served us was super nice, but I would've liked an update on why it was taking so long without me having to ask. Book a table now

Really good chilaquiles and a super nice cucumber/chia/lime aqua fresca (and nice horchata too). Friendly and efficient service. Want to try their pozole next.
