Everything here is delicious, full of flavor, the drinks are delightful made with fresh juices, the service is very friendly and efficient. The happy hour of $5 frozen margaritas from Monday to Friday from 12pm to 6pm it’s a plus !

This restaurant offers great food at a good price.

We tried lunch here and loved the food and experience.

The menu is rich, and there are enough options for everyone. We couldn’t try the bar, but I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

We arrived around 12 and quickly got the table, as it was not busy at 12. It’s got busy from 1 PM onwards.

The staff is attentive and quick.

The tables are well maintained and has enough separation.

What deserves a special mention?
The food is amazing, prepped with attention to detail.

What could be better?
Nothing, they are doing a great job.

The food is fine here but not very flavorful. Much better places in the area if you want Mexican food. Prices are average. Service was good, everyone’s nice and attentive. Food came out pretty quickly. The thing I like is tacos are sold à la carte so you can mix and match. Churros were fresh and hot – highlight of the meal!

I’ll keep it short. As others have pointed out: Enchiladas Verdes.
This is a highlight plate. The sauce is just amazing.
Everything is fresh and perfectly seasoned. All tacos, bistec burrito etc.
DO NOT…I REPEAT…DO NOT SKIP THE DESERTS.
Tres Leches and sandwich churros…my god!

Food was decent. Service not so great. At least not for me. In general it’s a nice spot for a quick bite.

Dropped some people off at the show and found this little gem right behind the entrance to the venue. It’s a smaller space, but charming. Loved the food, authentic corn tortillas, lovely portions and prices. Stop in, if you need a friendly place to pass some time and grab some refreshments.

I ordered the Tinga Da Pollo burrito and it was actually pretty good. The two sauces that you can use with it, you don’t even need them.

I just visited and was blown away by the flavors. Every dish I tried was delicious, but I have to highlight two that really stood out. The mole was exceptional; it had a depth of flavor that felt rich, earthy, and perfectly balanced between sweet and spicy. It’s hard to get mole just right, but they nailed it. The carne asada tacos were another standout, featuring a crispy cheese crust that added an incredible texture and unique flavor, taking the tacos to another level.
