We dined here with a large group of 15 including 3 toddlers. They brought us to a large table with plenty of seating in a... separate room near with it's own bathrooms. The waitress took our drink orders right away and had chips and salsa sent for eachsection of the table. They had a large selection of food to choose from including a drink menu and a kid's menu. After weordered our food it didn't take long to arrive. I ordered the barbacoa street tacos and guacamole. You can get guacamole servedas a dip prior to your meal or choose to get it as a side with your dish. My husband ordered the extra large burrito verde. Ourfood arrived temperature hot and came with sauces on the side. My daughter had the burrito with rice and beans. The portionsides were generous for kids. Usually they are much smaller. We were able to bring leftovers home. Our waitress was veryfriendly, informative, and attentive. We had additional drinks brought out to us before our drinks were empty. She also broughtout additional chips for our guacamole dip. The restaurant is very kid friendly and the food was delicious! Read more

Went there for a birthday party of eight. We had a server named Dillon. Very courteous and prompt waiter who didn't forget... about us. Remembered all our special requests and checked on us regularly. Service was extremely quick and he was veryattentive. Best experience at a restaurant for a while. The food was good but the server was excellent Read more

First time here and i would like to point out how amazing my server Dylan was. He made sure everything was on point and was very... attentive even though they were busy. Loved the vibe of the restaurant and the food. Thank you Read more

LOVELY and polite service by the employees but to say they are understaffed is an understatement. The food, while tasty... delicious as it was, wasn't cheap and took around 40 minutes to get to us. Not the workers faults, they were running arounddoing the job of 2 each and the place was busy. The only things under 9.99 were appetizers and side dishes. Tried the strawberrymargaritas and while they were the weakest I've had, they were THE tastiest I've ever had. I'd totally order again with an extrashot. Smalls are $5.00, can't beat that. Attached is their menu as of today Read more

The service was great, Antonio was amazing very attentive and on point! We were there in early afternoon, we ate in the bar... area. The food was hot & fresh. I had the carne asada, it had great flavor and cooked to my preference. As far as real goodMexican eats...it was close to what I would want in Mexican food. The waitress again was super! I loved the Mexican dip. Greattaste and a great starter. Also had the mango Chile lime margarita. It was extremely delicious. Live the location would comeback. Read more
