The service was wonderful, friendly when taking the order and fast and correct. For a place that caters to university Students the food was just fine. I myself personally, will not be bringing friends or family here anytime soon to eat here. I would say it is good bar food but that’s about it. I ordered guacamole with chips and it didn’t have much flavor. Once I added cilantro and Onion from my husbands sides. His tacos were good. I would say yes it is a good place to go and hang out with the gals and guys but really not a date night thing.

While their margaritas were pretty decent I couldn’t find any flavor in the food. Not something I expected from mexicanish cuisine since it’s supposed to have good flavor and spice. Even the nachos were just bland chips.
The service however was quite good and the atmosphere was nice. I wish the food was up to the standard as well.

Awesome Food & Great Setting!
Overall: excellent setting in the heart of Five Points with good food and amazing margaritas. Perfect spot on a beautiful Saturday afternoon to drink superb margaritas and have some excellent mexican fare. Big space, especially for Five Points. Food is really strong. Service was a little slow at first, but picked up better when more help arrived.
Food: really good. A few of the items were just ok, but overall good stuff. Chips and salsa were excellent. We go the queso and added chorizo, but it came out a little more like bacon. Not bad, but was hoping for more true chorizo to add tot the dip. We got the pork belly gorditas, which came out looking like mushroom sandwiches, but we’re really tasty. Packed with cheese and pork belly, it was very good. Also sprung for a fried garlic shrimp taco and it too was awesome.
Drinks: got a pitcher of frozen house margarita to share and it was amazing!!! It was the perfect consistency and flavor. Some frozen margs are all ice, but these were perfect, especially for a warm spring day.
Service: they definitely were understaffed at first, as there was only two employees for front of the of house, which included taking orders, making, drinks and taking food. Another worker eventually showed and it started to smooth out after that. Very friendly, just super busy and understaffed at first.
Vibe/Interior: really cool setup inside and out. The bar area is where you stand in line for order, so when it’s crowded it’s really tight. There is a covered dining area inside and tons of space outside. There is cornhole and a putting green for fun as well. Only issue is lack of tables outside, only about 4. Bunch of chairs for lounging and drinking, but not conducive for eating in.
Summary: cool place in five points for eating and drinking!!

Very good food, service, and child friendly. There are outdoor areas for kids to run around, a mini golf court, porch swings and chairs to relax on, bathrooms have changing stations. We will be coming here often.

Very nice decor the food was great! I have only tried two items on the menu so far and that is the rice bowl add chicken, and the chicken burrito. They have both been delicious. Great outside seating. My only issue was finding parking the lot is super small in the back so I had to park and walk. Worth it though.

This was our first visit and we’ll definitely be back. The food and atmosphere were amazing. We got there right when they opened so there was no wait times and quick service.

Loved the place – there’s outside and inside seating and the staff is very friendly.
The food is good – Mexican American taste – not true Mexican (I’m Hispanic ), but it was good !!!

Great service and food. Atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. Outdoor comfortable seating. I wish they would have offered me a paper straw for my margarita. They have both plastic and paper straws.
