I ordered based on the reviews. Nothing impressive. I ordered chorizo tostadas which tasted like any other chorizo tostadas. So they were good, thanks to the flavor of the chorizo. Al pastor tacos could've used more flavor. Out of 4 only had 1. Caritas nachos, were LOADED. To the point where I could see the nachos. I mean thank you for portion, but needs flavor. They didn't provide any type of eating utensils. Thankfully I found a spoon in my work bag. Again unimpressive. To drink, I ordered tamarind water and felt that couldn't go wrong. I've never had a tamarind water that tasted this way. W.e I got didn't taste like tamarind at all. It was very fermented. No straw was provided for me. I had to put the top on my large soup container to shake it. To then be splashed by the juice because of the fermentation.. all nearly $50, that I wish I had not wasted. Extremely let down. Sorry to say, I will not...

This is a review more based on on my second time visiting and actually eating in; I order some tacos and well the waitress couldn’t stop speaking with her fellow waitress on my choice of meat for the tacos , this wasn’t much of an annoyance until the second waitress straight up walked by our table and made a repulsive face looking at my tacos. Just to tell you that I was automatically disgusted with my own food that this became uncomfortable. Don’t really know if the manager or owner reads this review but the waitress worked Wednesday night /light skinned with glasses and long black hair. At the end this will be my last time visiting and I will make sure all my family and friends know about this restaurant. Avoid and look for...

This is the second time that I come to this restaurant and the same thing occurs. Yes, their food is very good. But both times I have come the waitresses forgot to put the order in to the kitchen and have us sitting waiting 1 hour or more for the food. And our orders aren’t foods that take more than an hour to cook. They are simple cheese quesadillas and tacos. In the end when we are frustrated and ask for the checks, the food just so happens to already be charged, they notice their error, and go on to lie that “the food is almost ready”. How would you know the food is ready if all I’ve asked you for is the receipt and you haven’t gone back and checked if it was ready or not? Really bad customer service. I really won’t...

The food and the live music shows are good. The only turn off, for me, is the service, a little bit. The first time I went to eat there, the service was almost perfect; very attentive, very courteous. By my fourth time I went there, they had changed managers and waiters / busboys. They weren't very attentive, and the barmaid, who I understand is the daughter of the owner, probably wasn't having a good day, because I perceived her a little rude. I might give them one more chance in the near future, and if they mess it up, I won't come back And for the sake of the business' well being, they better come up with a solution.

I had tacos de birria which are trending all around and to my surprise these were amazing! The tortilla was slightly crunchy and the meat super tender, a nice little touch of cheese really went a long way on the taco. Dipping it in the consome (sauce) was the perfect Instagram boomerang lol I also had chillaquiles verdes (green) the tortilla were slightly crunchy and soft, the sauce a little spicy and eggs were perfectly cooked. Perfect hangover food I might add. Overall really good place to have some real authentic Mexican food. This coming from a Mexican person.

I had a great experience here- not sure what happened with other customers in the recent reviews. We came for lunch on a Saturday a few weeks back. The food was good, drinks were fairly strong and our servers were friendly. Random place for a Mexican restaurant but I will be back.
