I'm always down to try a new place in the neighborhood and look to support it, so we stopped in for a quick lunch to see what the place was all about. It is super appealing on the outside and it looks welcoming and nice. The patio lights stretched across the front and the designs and colors draw you in. When you go inside it's very clean and very well put together and there was definitely some consideration with the way it looks and the style. The menu gives you a decent amount of options. My wife got the toast out of salad and I got the two taco plate. I got the grilled fish taco (which is mahi-mahi, one of my favorite kind of fish) and I got a chicken taco as well. The fish taco was fine. I personally prefer to taste more of the fish but they gave me a pretty heavy amount of sauce and the filling sort of overtook the fish and it seemed more of a taco of fillings rather than a fish taco. That said, it wasn't bad. I just prefer a little more fish flavor in my fish taco. The chicken taco was not my favorite. It was on a flower tortilla in the combination of flavors, to me, didn't work that well. There was a sweetness that I can't explain and I prefer the savory elements in a chicken taco. That one, I did not finish. The pinto beans were okay but the rice was really good. Normally the rice is the last thing I would eat, but I did finish the rice on this particular meal. My wife got the tostada salad and she seemed to really enjoy it. She got it with steak. I tried a bit of a steak and it was pretty good. They do have a salsa bar with three different types. Traditional pico de gallo, a tomatillo salsa and a red salsa that tasted like roasted peppers. The green was the better of the 3. All in all, I'm not sure it would make my list of top places to go back to as a regular favorite, but they do have options and I'm sure we'll be back...

A definite upgrade from the Mexican restaurant they just replaced. When first walking in, it's easy to tell that this restaurants has the bones to be something good-- nice interior, nice branding, and some "Bad Bunny" style music playing in the background. Service was fast and friendly and the food came out very fast. There's still work to be done, however. I ordered a grilled fish taco and they brought out a fried one. I returned it but I'm not certain I got a new piece of meat as there were almost no grill marks on my fish. I got the veggie burrito and my partner got the Diablo burrito. Both were good but Diablo was advertised as spicy but not spicy to any extent. Veggie burrito was filled with lots of veggies, rice, and beans. Chips were fresh and crunchy. Fresh catch fish taco was okay, I've certainly had better. After the meal, I felt like things were perhaps a little too salty-- didn't seem that way when eating but got that lingering "salty" taste in my mouth after. Finally, while the place was clean and very nice inside, I felt like the salsa bar and trash cans were not tended to during my visit and certainly could've been addressed (eg, pico de Gallo was running very low, trash bins were getting pretty full). All in all, a decent visit and I will likely pay them a...
