The food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the service was excellent. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it!
The shopping strip itself is rather odd and the restaurant is confusing, when we walked in there was no direct spot to be greeted but as we walked past the bar we were seated right away. Our waitress was very nice and courteous, she recommended the specials but we opted for other items.
Our drinks and food were great, the portions are generous and the overall experience was great. Towards the end of our meal we felt like we waited a while for the bill, even after skipping dessert. I checked out restroom and it wasn’t as nice as I would expect. Upon getting our bill we also received little dolls as gifts and were instructed to put them under our pillows for a goid night sleep…this was also unique.
Overall great food and glad we tried it.
The food was decent overall. The street corn side is somewhat boring and the fish tacos quickly got soggy, but the flavors were on-point.
Will definitely be back again
We appreciated the ample parking, with many empty spaces available. We were able to park right across from the restaurant, which was very convenient.
Upon entering, however, we were a bit confused – no one greeted us or approached us right away. We had to wander for a bit until a bartender noticed us and seated us at a table right next to the bar, in the middle of heavy foot traffic where drinks were being mixed. My daughter-in-law politely asked a waiter if we could move to a booth instead. Unfortunately, he told us booths were reserved for parties of four or more (there were just three of us), despite many being visibly available. Thankfully, a bartender named Tatiana came to the rescue – she said we were welcome to take a booth and kindly brought us menus. Her accommodating attitude definitely made a difference in our experience.
For our meal, I ordered the Tacos Hongos served on an iron skillet and a Besito Patrón Margarita, which the waitress recommended in place of the La Paloma (which she said was a bit strong). My kids ordered the Quesabirria and Quesadilla Chicken Parrilla. Before the food arrived, we were served chips and salsa, and later a bowl of fluffy rice and a bowl of beans came as sides.
The wait time for our food was around 20–25 minutes, which was fair, but when the dishes arrived, the portions were quite small, not suitable for sharing. We sampled each other’s meals, and the kids agreed that my taco dish was the most flavorful, although there could have been more tortillas. Their quesadilla and quesabirria were okay, but not particularly memorable.
The atmosphere was pleasant, with comfortable music that didn’t overpower our conversation. The dining layout included tables for two and four, and it looked like larger groups could be accommodated by pushing tables together.
Before we left, a staff member was taking photos of guests, and he kindly offered to take our picture, which was a nice touch.
Overall, I feel that the restaurant is a bit overrated, but Tatiana’s professionalism and attentiveness helped elevate our experience. If you enjoy spicy food, this might be your kind of place. If not, you may want to explore other options.
Final verdict: 4 out of 5 stars – all thanks to Tatiana.
