Come hungry! My wife and I and our daughter stopped here for a late afternoon lunch. We had read some great reviews and wanted to check it out. Are we ever glad we did! They have a reputation for great margaritas and they did not disappoint! We had a classic, a blood orange and a peach margarita. All top shelf drinks. We started with Queso Fundido which was a melted cheese blend of roasted poblanos, chorizo , onions, pico and cilantro served in a cast iron skillet. Comes with chips. Off the chain delicious! Next we ordered a variety of tacos. Crispy fish, Spicy pulled pork and Pabloanos rajas. All very good. Our server Daniel was sociable and knowledgeable of the menu and made some excellent suggestions. Plenty of parking right in front of the restaurant. Clean neat and well maintained outdoor dining area. We will be back!

Update: I had to lower my rating because I've consistently had disappointing service here. A few of the staff are really kind and caring but several others are consistently not. If something you ordered is out of stock, they will not tell you (even if you order in person and are present the whole time), they will silently omit it from your order and sometimes they still charge you. Having cutlery included in takeout/delivered orders is very rare. Their phones are either busy, or ring for a few minutes and end with an automated error, and their Grubhub page is not consistent with the menu. The food here is some of the best Mexican food I've ever had but its can be discouraging to order when you know the lines aren't working, the site isn't updated, your order may be missing several things and you have to sift through it in front of them feeling like a petty a*****e to make sure its not, and its likely you'll have to deal with the staff members that make you feel like you're bothering them even though you consistently tip over 20%. If you do eat here, I strongly suggest dining in (of course when that's allowed again) because usually that staff is a lot nicer. On a more positive note, since my last review I've also tried the guacamole and fish tacos which were amazing. Original Review: Definitely amazing if you can find a parking spot! Chips were fresh and come with 3 salsas! One of which was extremely spicy which I loved. I then had the peach mojito and a shrimp burrito which were both delicious. Prices are not bad at all for the quality of food. I can’t wait to go back!!
