★★★☆☆ 3.0 Skylar Taylor · Sep 2025

Waitress was very sweet! We got tacos and fajita's- tacos were amazing! However the fajita's were kind of sweet tasting, very different than anything we have had before, not bad just different. Inside was an interesting atmosphere- lots of things to look at and included a large cocktail and food menu. Tacos were reasonably priced, however they did not come with much meat and the fajitas did seem pricey.

This was always my go to place when I wanted mexican food because It reminded me of my grandmas cooking lately however i’m not sure what changed but the food is being rushed and made terribly I tried again to see if they would do it better but this whole experience was extremely disappointing no volvería a comprar aquí. Not to mention I asked for a side of guacamole and sour cream and This is how they sent it. Such a disappointment and my chilaquiles were sent with barely any tortillas just pure sauce

★★★☆☆ 3.0 shayne ligon · Jul 2025

Ok, so I had high hopes for this place based on the reviews. Now my review is only based on the tacos and margarita. I had a Cadillac margarita and give it a 7 out of 10. Now for the tacos. The steak tacos was the best, seasoned really good 9 out of 10. The chicken taco was not so good, no seasoning on chicken, the chicken seemed as if it was boiled or something. The pork taco I could not even eat it, 1 out of 10. Words can't explain how awful the pork was. Overall I give this place a 5 out of 10. I would have given it a 7 but they made me pay for the pork taco that I didn't even eat.

★★★★★ 5.0 Kari Jackson · Sep 2025

So fantastic. I took my sister and brother-in-law here one night, and it was so great that we went back two more times that week during their visit. A week later I took my whole department there for lunch and everybody said what a great choice I had made. Everyone loves this restaurant. The food is terrific, the decor is lovely, the bathrooms are really cute, the service is very good. During the pandemic I ordered takeout almost every week and it was consistently spectacular
