Everything was very good! The service was good and the atmosphere was great! I think they were a little understaffed as we did have to wait a while for our drinks, to take our order as well as to get to go containers. But they had two large groups in for lunch and other lunch patrons. Maybe they weren’t expecting that many people.

Excellent friendly service! Amazing authentic flavors. From the juicy shrimp enchilada to the cheese relleno. Just the right spices on the pork pastor.

We had a great time here for their AYCE Sunday brunch. The Service was great, the live Mariachi was perfect, the food was excellent, even the water was good! We will go back whenever we are in town.

First and Last time here. I went on a Saturday as I was recommended to go on a Saturday or Sunday to try their brunch. A buddy and I planned to take our wives for the brunch and Mimosas. We get there and its empty besides two sets of couples. The place is very nice inside. We are seated and given two menus. One of them was dirty and sticky. The tables was sticky as well. we look past that and ask for a beer and the brunch. The server takes the order and comes back 5 minutes later with the beer and then notifies my wife that they no longer do the brunch or Bottomless Mimosas on Saturdays yet it clearly states on the menu that they do. Fine. We then ask if she can try the flight of Mimosas and the server goes to the bar to make them. We get them and they were not good at all. We were not pleased and just asked for the check. The Server asked if they did something wrong and we told him just give us the check. He said he wouldn’t charge us because I didn’t drink my beer at all and the mimosas my wife just did a quick taste test. He then proceeded to ask us if we have ever had Mimosas before. My wife replied with a yes. He told us not to pay but we told him no we ordered these items so we would pay for them. Bill came out to $21 for a beer and 3 Mimosas. I did not try their food. So I will not rate that.

This place looks so beautiful but definitely not a Mexican vibe… love the people the service and atmosphere but the food isn’t my favorite… the drinks like horchata are a go to but I can just go to the other restaurant they have and just get that. I suggest going to the other restaurant as it’s a lot more welcoming atleast to me it gives the vibes that I am there to eat tacos instead of feeling like I’m there to feel rich. The restaurants vibe don’t match with the food.

The food here was amazingly delicious ! The chips with their spice sauce drizzle were incredibly good even without the salsa.
I had lunch, but my boo aka the birthday guy, had the French Toast plate with bacon. He said it was delicious.
I’m very much into the WHOLE experience and energy ✨️ at a place. I wanted to leave as soon as I got there because something was off with the energy of the place. It was an interesting experience, and for all of my fellow empaths out there, please protect your energy and ground yourself before you go.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but this one needed to be shared. I’m not sure if I came on am off day, and for that, I usually give places 2 fair shots. But let me tell you about today’s visit. I came in around noon. Was greatly graciously by the host who sat me quickly and promptly. There were only 2 other tables at the time occupied. Afterward, I was greeted by my waitress, who was kind and cordial, yet she lacked knowledge on the fresh drink menu. Maybe she’s new… overlooked.. didn’t count that in until the end. I came in alone, mind you. I ordered the chilaquiles divorciados with over easy eggs.
I noticed what looked like the manager walking around greeting customers (now there were three by this time and me makes 4) I didn’t get a visit lol. No worries. Food came out at a decent time, and it was cold. The darker sauce on the picture was way too sweet. The lighter side was good, however the food was cold. There was no salt or pepper or sauce or anything at the table, and if you asked why didn’t I let them know, well, I would have had someone actually come to check up on me.
I waited, but the food got colder, and I was on time crunch. So I ate it. It was a tad bit spicy and the waitress didn’t at least one time came to ask how I was doing. My cup remained empty and I was using the ice to cool my tongue and quench my thirst.
Finally, I finished up and waited 8 minutes before I just got up and asked for the bill. A man named Alex I believe gave me my bill and asked how it was to which I gave him a not good answer and he said nothing. I said “ahh, (shook my head) it was okay.” If I were a manager or anything, I would have followed up with that. Nope, he said nothing and handed me my bill. I gave him 20 bucks, left a tip on the table, and was gone.
Food was okay at best. I’ll try again to give a fair shot. Waitress needed alot of work. You are going to have to ask for all the condiments you want up front. Slurp that empty cup loud enough so you can get some attention lol. I’m being sarcastic. Any how. That was my visit. 2 stars. I’ll go back one more time. Hope this helps someone.
