Food was ok, crab enchiladas were good. I had the cochinita pibil and let me tell, it was salty , dry and burned. I didn't like... it. Chile verde pork was good, no spicy at all. The waitress was ok, no very friendly. Overall this place is ok. Read more

Just sat at the bar to have some food while waiting for our car to charge. Sadly, my husband was verbally harassed for ordering... a non-alcoholic beer by a young, terribly unprofessional bartender. There was so much wrong with the situation that it’s notworth expanding on here. What had been a decent experience up until the shift change when this young man showed up, was souredby his ignorant display. Completely careless and offensive. Don’t bother wasting your money here. Follow-Up: To the owner whoresponded - did you read my review? The young man made fun of my husband with an off-color joke about him drinking anon-alcoholic beer. He felt singled-out and we were both immediately alienated. It’s unconscionable and should never happen.Everyone should be able to enjoy themselves at your restaurant despite their order and their personal decision to not drinkalcohol. This was an ignorant mistake by your bartender that we hope never happens again. Read more

Came in on a Sunday and had to wait about 5 min to get a table. The portions are very big so we ended up with leftovers. The... guacamole is delicious! They make it right I front of your table. Read more
