I want to start with saying I don’t think I’ve ever left a negative review before. There is nothing I love more than promoting businesses & supporting them. Yesterday we decided to order verde for my 6 year old son and I because we have celiac and verde says everything is gluten free. We were going to call and order online but the menu was down so I sent my husband to order there. All I wanted was two orders of a cheese quesadilla & 2 orders of rice. He had to wait over an hour because they messed up his order the first time. He finally gets back to the house and the picture I shared below is one of the two orders of rice he got. I would have just accepted that until he proceeds to tell me that costed him $13! And he got two orders so $26 for two small globs of rice. It wasn’t then until I looked at the quesadilla that I realized it was just a tortilla with dry, barely melted cheese in it. & we also didn’t get our side of sour cream we asked for. Part of me wanted to just give it to my hungry son because all the other kids had already eaten and just chalk it up as a loss but even he was disgusted by the looks of it. I ended up having to just make him a frozen pizza because at this point it was already 830 and other safe places he could eat at were closing. My husband went back because for how much we paid and what we got was so so unacceptable. Yes- we got our money back. But the manager/owner (not sure who it was) wouldn’t even make eye contact or even say a simple “sorry”. There was a big group of us together and all of us were just in complete disbelief. Sadly- none of us will be going back. Really unfortunate because I had this place over a year ago when I was in town and I thought it was wonderful 🙁 not sure what happened.

The lunch menu Dec 2025 is not to be missed. These Chilaqulies featured in the picture were fresh and delicious!
The tacos were also excellent, with a smokey salsa on top.
Complementary chips and salsa were homemade, with very fresh ingredients for an overall delightful meal.

This place is amazing! I had the pollo con nopales, and it was absolutely delicious. The green sauce made with cactus was so flavorful. My husband had the steak tacos and really enjoyed them, and my hibiscus margarita was incredible. At the end of our meal, they brought out a pico de gallo with panela cheese—wow, it was so good! This is a fantastic Mexican restaurant with unique options you don’t find at other places. My husband and I were just passing through Davenport and found it online, and we’re so glad we stopped. It did not disappoint!

Incredibly helpful staff who do an excellent job explaining dishes, fantastic atmosphere, reasonable prices, flawless presentation, and flavors so rich and complex they’ll have you thinking about your next outing there the second you step out the door. These guys drip passion and love of the food they prepare and it shows.

I like great Mexican food. I lived in Texas, thaty all I eat there
This place has great food, better than Texas. There Mezcal Rita is very smooth and their chips don’t need any salt on them. Their salsa has the right kind of bite, but not too much.
I will go back there again, and I’m telling my friends in my little town about this place

Definitely a totally different vibe. It’s a mexican infusion style restaurant. You will not be served chips and salsa here.
The fish tacos were beautifully plated, but the taste was exquisite.
The desserts offered had a delicate touch but were awesome.
Tres leches mango cake and flan were remarkable!
They were not very busy. The atmosphere was a nice vibe. From the rosette napkin, to the multi-colored wood panels to artwork.

Seriously one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The food was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were incredibly unique. But the best part of all was the service, the bar tender/waiter made us feel like we were having dinner at a friends house in the best way possible. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Unique and delicious. Staff very accommodating. The food was fresh, portion sizes small, the meat was a bit salty but overall very good. Loved the chicharon on the rice and beans. The margarita was perfect!
