FOOD: First let me start off with im a very picky eater when it comes to Mexican restraunts because I am Mexican and my family use to own a very successful restaurant before they retired, so im familiar with the taste of authentic and thats what this place is, AUTHENTIC. I had the Shrimp Fajitas, Agave Lemonade, & Mango Margarita. Everything was refreshing and delicious. Service: As soon as I walked in I was greeted with happy faces. The place was packed with customers, and I thought to myself "man.... I just came in for something quick to eat" but with in minutes I was sat a table that had a great view with a luminous sign and 2 TVs, so im glad i waited. The staff made sure to check on my table consistently, even with the establishment being packed with so many people, im surprised they didnt tire out, and if they were tired it didnt show, they kept smiling and were very friendly. Atmosphere: I didnt really get a view of the entire place however most importantly was cleanliness, that should always be priority, great job. The bar had 2 TVs and was very organized. The smell of the establishment reminded me of home "Mexico" so again authentic. Additional note: I had asked them "does my mom work here" lol thats how great the food was, I will be back and I recommend others to try this place out for themselves. You wont be disappointed

The carnitas brought my wife to tears of joy, she said it took her back to living on the border as a child. The carnitas are a must. They have good cocktails too. Tip: The pork belly starter, ask them to hold the sauce as the pork by itself is way better than with the sauce. Tip: get the carnitas. Did I mention the carnitas? My picture is after she ate half of the carnitas. There is a picture of the pork belly starter and a pucture of carnitas fajitas.

Great family spot! Food was yummy service was great despite how busy it was! Didn’t seem like they had any issue dealing with large groups and families too.

Wife had the beef burrito, I had the shredded chicken, mom had the chicken enchilada Verde. Our first time here and it was very good. A little pricy for some items. Ours was $37.62 without tip and water to drink. So about average this time.

Seems other dishes are quite a bit higher. Alcohol is high in my opinion.( For what is worth) Sangria is $11. Other cocktails around $9-9.50. Margaritas 13 oz $8, 18oz $11, oz $16 and a pitcher is $24. Domestic bottles $5 and imports $6

The hot salsa has a great heat and a kick. The bottled Contigo habanero hot sauce was really good too. The chicken in my shredded chicken burrito was very juicy. Definitely a plus.

The only down side is the atmosphere. It's ok, kinda on the dark side. Skylights and large windows help. It's also very noisy. Hard for me to hear the conversation at my table. Not sure if it's the solid walls and echo? Nothing that would stop me from coming back. Just know if it's busy. You might not hear your group taking much. Lol

Definitely recommend! Sorry once again I forgot pics. Honestly. It looks like most all Mexican food restaurants. But that's not a bad...

Would definitely recommend! One of the better Mexican restaurants in the area! Went with some extended family and we were sat quickly, wait staff was Super friendly and helpful with recommendations and they even brought us some samples of their horchata and one of their flavored teas. I ordered the Acapulco which was just delicious, meat was very tender and had a very good mix of spices and flavor. My family also all seemed to have notning but good things to say about theirs, and the price was very reasonable, especially for the quality of the food and the staff. I know their still new and seem to still be decorating up their atmosphere, but don't let that deter you from stopping by! If they keep up with the way they've started, I can see this becoming a frequent...
