The service was horrible. I saw two tables sitting against the wall not get any service. One guy got up to retrieve a margarita from the bar asking “is that my margarita?” and was told no. He never got his margarita! We were smart enough to order multiple at a time and I almost gave him one of mine but my husband said that would be weird. We had to get up to order our drinks (2 at a time) which led to comments by the staff, “borracha” (I lived in El Paso and Jaurez for most of my young life and speak fluent spanish) the same staff that has been serving us for years. (PS, no one was drunk. We just couldn’t get service and were sitting up against the bar.) When the check came we saw that our table of two had an auto gratuity added. We are VERY generous tippers. Especially here because this has been “our spot” for what feels like forever. Now we understood why we didn’t get any service. One of the patrons who didn’t have anyone come by the entire 1.5hrs we were seated there walked out behind us. I kinda hope he didn’t pay his bill because it was deplorable the way they treated people.
Upon entering on a Friday night, we were pleasantly surprised by a live mariachi performance. This was an exceptional touch that made our experience memorable. Our son was captivated by the music, and as a musician myself, I truly appreciated their skill and the ambiance they created.
Food-wise, the “Taco Locos” stood out with its mix of Asada and Pastor tacos accompanied by green and red sauces. The taste was impeccable. However, the beverages fell short. We ordered two Horchatas which, unfortunately, tasted watered-down. It lacked the authentic richness we were anticipating.
Our dessert choice was the “fried” ice cream. While it was presented with a coconut layer, it lacked the expected crunch and felt somewhat stale. The saving grace was the caramel drizzle, which gave the dessert some redeeming flavor.
As for service, it was a mixed bag. We were initially greeted warmly, but the service during our meal was lackluster. It felt like our waitress wasn’t particularly invested, which dampened our mood a bit.
The ambiance, though reminiscent of quaint restaurants I’ve visited abroad, did not fully resonate with me on this occasion.
In summary, while there were highlights like the tacos and mariachi, some aspects, particularly the drinks and service, need improvement. I’d rate it 4 out of 5 stars overall.
Fully recommend it.

Many of you may not know this but I grew up in California and Mexican food was a staple for me. When I moved to Florida, great Cuban food was ALL over, but great Mexican food was a rare find. This place was like transporting back to childhood for me and I was STOKED to grab the last table for lunch!
What we had:
Horchata, Jamaica (hibiscus), and Tamarindo Agua Fresca
Mini Ignacios (nachos)
Bicentenario Enchiladas
Tortilla Soup
