I came here on recommendation from a tik tok. The waiter was super sweet and kind. I ordered chilaquiles, and I asked the waiter not to put any cotija cheese on my chilaquiles to please put quesadilla cheese and queso fresco. When my plate came, it was loaded with none of the cheeses I asked for. Instead, my chilaquiles were drowning in parmesan cheese. No where in the description of the chilaquiles does it state that parmesan is included. No big deal, I thought. I scraped off the cheese and the million onions. I walked in and asked the waiter to please ask the cook to add quesadilla cheese on top of my chilaquiles and to melt it in the microwave. I was standing next to the waiter as he asked the cook. The cook looked upset, grabbed the paper from my order, and mumbled something at the waiter. The waiter explained to him again what I wanted while holding my plate. The cook did not take the plate he left it in the waiter's hand and grabbed a bunch of cheese, and did not take it to melt it. He was super rude to the waiter and, in extension, did not care that I was stabbing there. The waiter apologized to me and proceeded to go to place my plate in the microwave. Needless to say, i lost my appetite and felt terrible for the waiter. My stomach is disgusted by the behavior, and I could not bring myself to eat the chilaquiles. I really wanted to love this place, but one who puts parmesan cheese on chilaquiles, two, dont be rude to your coworkers and customers. We paid and left. Today is September 1, 2023. we were there from 9:15- 10:25 am.

Hidden gem! Tested out this new place before ordering mobile catering for my daughter’s graduation party. The food is delicious and the owners are very nice and accommodating. Their veggies tacos and burritos are amazing! Most places just use refried beans and cheese, but here they include onions, mushrooms, bell peppers. They will customize - I prefer black beans to pinto. Be warned - red sauce is pretty darn spicy! The mobile catering was a hit and the cook himself came, cooked the meat at the party with their mobile grill. Their price for mobile catering was very reasonable - I called around to several of the highly reviewed mobile taco catering places and this place had the best price and they took our order less than 2 weeks before the event. We got many compliments on the food at the party, and our family still enjoys coming back to this place! A little pricey for plates and agree with another reviewer I would prefer lower price without the fries for the burrito. Haven’t tried breakfast items yet but per other reviews - sounds like it would be a hit for the fam. Love all the different options on their menu! Seems like their service could be faster - but I think they don’t experienced waiters so perhaps that will improve as they hire more staff. Overall though, the quality and taste...

My husband and I found this wonderful restaurant by Google search -- we were in the area and in the mood for some Margaritas! Man, were we impressed! One of the owners helped us get seated and encouraged us to try their sangria. He offered us each a sample and I was sold!! Loved both the sangria and the mango Margarita! Their drinks are both beautiful and delicious garnished with orchids, oranges, limes and cucumbers! A true party in a glass but with a splash of elegance. More like a soiree in a glass lol! I'm writing right now from one of the indoor tables where I set up my laptop to do some work while my husband teaches voice at the Avloni Music Academy. He reached weekly, and to be honest I've gotten tired of the Starbucks routine. This is a welcome change, although not a true Internet cafe. They welcome folks to come and stay a while. The drinks are delicious, the snacks are tasty and the vibe is relaxed, cheerful and welcoming. On the menu, our favorites were the wings, the Tinga tacos and the quesabirria plate. Their chips are thin and crispy, and the salsas are thick & robust with a kick but not too spicy, and they pair beautifully with their handmade guacamole. And here, presentation is everything! Definitely need to try it out if you haven't already. We instantly...

I feel really scammed by the reviews. I check Google for a good Mexican restaurant and this one turned up with the highest ratings so now I’m wondering if the reviews could be trusted at all. First the server just seems like she doesn’t like people. I’m always nice to anyone handling my food but she still wasn’t a happy camper. Oh well who cares about that. The food. The rice was the worst. The beans I am sure they’re from a can. Such a disappointment. The couple of shrimp on my camarones diabla tasted boiled or like the ones you get out of a grocery store cocktail. The diablo sauce was literally the worst I’ve ever had. It tasted like tomato sauce with chipotle sauce and just had no real cooked flavor. The closest thing I could say is chipotle ketchup? I don’t know. The fajita came out cold somehow. It was a combo and it literally looked like recycled meat left over from other meals. Just gross. How’s a fajita cold? Something definitely wasn’t right. There was nothing good at all about this place. I’m only leaving an honest review because I feel totally scammed by the reviews I seen.
