We got the sense of an authentic Mexican restaurant, with great service and atmosphere. The menu had a wide variety of options to choose from. The cheese dip was good and the salsa was nice and fresh. I will definitely come back with family and for events. We caught them at a time between shifts, so I’m interested to try out the full bar. when we arrived, we were greeted by a worker that was not confident in his English, but was still very willing to help us get a table and menus and even take our drink order. He did a great job and I’m happy to see this at this establishment.

Much to our delight, this is not just another Mexican restaurant. To be honest that’s what we thought when we first heard about it.
The restaurant surprised us in many ways. First, the decor is beautiful, very tastefully done and is not tacky. And the interior is much larger than it appears from the outside. We were there in the afternoon and the atmosphere was very welcoming and I imagine the lights make it very romantic at night.
Our server Medium was a delight and added her lovely personality to our dining experience.
The food was delicious and very reasonably priced for the portions given. We ordered fried Chimicangos with chicken and vegetables and Tacos El Pastor. You can see from the pictures the beautiful plating and from the empty plates how good it was. The food is not your regular Mexican food normally found in other restaurants. This is authentic recipes and ingredients cooked to perfection.
We will definitely be going back and we highly recommend it.
It is so much more than it looks like from the outside so go inside for a great dining experience.

I thought it was great. We had mixed reviews from the rest of my group. Definitely one of the better restaurants in town, but it still needs something I can’t put my finger on.

Food was very good, portions were large and background music was not overpoweringly loud. I liked the restaurant and would definitely go back if I lived in the area but we stood an excessively long time waiting for someone to notice and seat us, with servers walking by seemingly oblivious to our presence. A “Hi, we’ll be with you in just a minute” would have made for a much better first impression. Eventually someone came and seated us and after that service was great but I’m going to have to knock off a couple of service stars because of that.

I seen the reviews and good ones an a couple so so. The food wasn’t that bad and the restaurant itself is clean and well lit. Service was alright. I think it was alittle pricy, but it’s 2025. Wife and I decided at least we try it because of the good reviews, everyone is different. We will be back though.

They have done a wonderful job of renovating an old Cicis Pizza and creating an authentic atmosphere. The food choices are different from other Mexian restaurants and is all amazing. They put more fresh vegetables in their dishes than most and everything is presented nicely.

I advise cheese dip.
If you get the taco salad you can add the cheese dip and free salsa to the taco salad.
I would advise against getting beef unless you want to pay sit-down prices for beef as bland and processed as Taco Bell.
Overall, flavor is just not there to me.

Ok I now have a new favorite Mexican restaurant! We were very impressed with the flavor, freshness and service. Food was prepared well and was VERY tasty.

Their food is perfect. Like, I was literally served the best quesadilla I’ve ever had north of the border. The kids menu is generous with both authentic Mexican dishes and the stuff for the picky eaters. The lunch atmosphere was quiet and private. They even have an adorable space for anyone who wants to be seated outdoors, surrounded by small elevated flower beds. Also, our waitress was so sweet and very attentive. My new favorite spot to grab authentic Mexican food, for sure.
