Parking is horrible in the front of the restaurant on a Saturday. There was snow still covering some parking lots which made it worse. Had to park in the garage in the back lower lovel not top closer to the restaurant. When I arrived there was know one at the Hostess stand the bartender Sat us after a minutes since he saw us waiting. The salsa and chips are very tasty super flavorful. We ordered the Table side Guacamole which was bland and flavorless very disappointing. We had the Birria Tacos they were very cheesy and crunchy.. The side of plantains with the creme are nice a hot when they come out definitely enjoyed that.

Guacamole is made fresh at the table; the steak, chicken, and chorizo fajitas are served sizzling hot and fresh. The chicken is the most tender and flavorful. The interior is nice but a bit noisy. The lighting could be better.

Had the most amazing experience today thanks to our server, Hilario! He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from start to finish. Great service really makes a difference, and Hilario was outstanding—thank you for making our visit so enjoyable! Will definitely come back!!

we eat here all the time as the family and it’s always delicious. The workers are kind courteous and happy to be there. The food is always on point. The tacos are amazing. They have around six different types. The guacamole is always delicious as they make it at your table in front of you. They make fresh chips the drinks are also good as well. You can’t go wrong with this location.

Our servicer was very knowledgeable on our drinks. He described how the company purified the liquor in milk. The drinks were amazing! I love all things Mexican and would add this to my go-to list. 9/10 would recommend. Can “WFH” here! We had tacos with rice and beans.

If you love authentic Mexican food, this restaurant is the best one. The food was so delicious and flavorful. Awesome spirit drink like the guava pina colada and excellent margaritas. They prepared the guacamole in front of you, so fresh and delicious. The parrillada brings four options, chicken, chorizo, steak and shrimps with some filled jalapenos, so delicious. The service and atmosphere are five stars, definitely one of the best.

My husband and I enjoyed our dinner here. I made reservations just in case it was busy but there were plenty of open tables at 6pm on Friday! Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Loved the vibrant colors. The bar area looked fun too. Our server was Katherin. She was very friendly and helpful! We ended up ordering the tableside guac, chicken taco, steak taco, and birria tacos. We enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. The tableside guac was quick and tasty. Our food came out in a timely manner at perfect temperature. Everything tasted great! We would definitely return again.
