The food was absolutely amazing and the staff were very friendly. The food was SO DELICIOUS. I got the chicken tacos with refried beans and vegetables – those sides did not feel like simple “filler” … The refried beans and the vegetables were a little slice of heaven. YUMMY!!!

Excellent place for a weekday business lunch party meetup with a large menu and seating area, barely anyone there and a beautiful setup for reservation of 12. Obviously parking is a challenge in old Ellicott City but they do have a small parking lot out front. Plan to park and walk just in case. They serve chips and salsa on the table as standard which was fresh and delicious. Their chips and guac was fresh and delicious. Enjoyed the taco salad w beef which was definitely better than most places. Service was not amazing but okay. Will definitely return!

We came here as a large family group. The place is very nice inside with great decor. They have a nice selection of beers, wines, and cocktails. The nachos and cheese was particularly delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive. The prices were reasonable.

Very nice Mexican restaurant in Ellicott! Good queso dip and I really liked the fiesta fajitas (you get a mix of shrimp, chicken, and steak). They also have good chocolate cake if you are in the mood for dessert. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After spending the day shopping and exploring Ellicot City, we chose to have a late lunch at this restaurant. As it was a beautiful day and the restaurant was not busy, we opted to dine outside. Sadly, the food did not live up to expectations. The ceviche was flavorless and unpalatable, and the guacamole had a smooth, processed texture. The salsa tasted like a generic store-bought salsa. My steak quesadillas were adequate, but the paloma was a letdown. On the other hand, the Blue Moon was enjoyable. I do not remember what my boyfriend had, he did say it was just okay. The service was poor, with our server being inattentive and displaying a somewhat negative attitude. I would not recommend this restaurant.

Perfect for taco Tuesday. This place is large, definitely family oriented. The vibrant colors fills the rooms. The service is great. The food is delicious. The nachos are definitely a two person job a strawberry margarita amazing. Definitely will be back.

This restaurant is clean and classy. Dark moody interior design creates a cozy and seductive atmosphere. I can easily see this place as a hotspot for dates.
Staff is excellent. They know their menu well and make sure to inform you of items that you might not be familiar with before you commit to ordering it. Not enough restaurants do this. I had no idea what Mole was and our waitress gave us a small cup of it for us to try to see if we liked it which we did.
Food is excellent so far. I’ve had the Quesadillas with chicken & guacamole and just this time I tried the Enchiladas De Pollo which were filling and flavourful.
Highly recommend this Mexican restaurant and will return again soon, hungry for more!

Service was amazing but unfortunately that was the only good thing about my visit. I ordered shrimp tacos with refried beans and rice. The rice was hard, and the beans were dried out. It was obvious both were from the day before. The shrimp tacos recipe needs to be revamped. They give you shrimp sitting on top of fajitas. Large onions, and green peppers with tomato’s on a shrimp taco. Very different and not tasty. I noticed the kitchen takes short cuts and uses the largely chopped green peppers and onions in majority of all their dishes. For the tacos and quesadillas it would be nice to have diced onions and green peppers. Tacos tasted like I ordered shrimp fajitas. Very disappointing. Free salsa is store brought. Not made fresh. Water tastes like faucet water. Restaurant looked decent from a far. Looking closely the floors were unkept. Food under a lot of the tables and you could tell it hadn’t been moped in a few days. The exit doors and windows in the patio area need to be cleaned. Very dirty with hand prints and smudges. Restaurant manager casually sat at the Bar on his cell phone. He could’ve helped the staff clean the place or walked around to check on the lack of presentation and quality of the food. This is a one and done for me. Not worth the money spent at all.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Greeted as soon as I walked in. Walked to my seat to meet my friend. The food was delicious, all homemade and so fresh! Everyone there was very friendly, warm and welcoming.
I had the – CAMARONES AL AJILLO
Jumbo shrimp sautéed in a garlic infused butter and lemon sauce with a touch of white wine. Served with rice and mixed vegetables.
My friend- CHICKEN CANTINA
Charbroiled chicken breast in a roasted tomato sauce with sautéed onions, mushrooms, and broccoli. Served with rice and beans.
Great food, great atmosphere, inside and of course outside while visiting the charming town of Ellicott City.

This place seems to be going down hill a bit lately, the quality of the food seems to be dropping. Had the Birria Tacos and they should really learn how to prepare a Birria correctly. You don’t just grill some corn tortillas and then put the filling in afterward and serve it like a regular taco!
