Customer Reviews
I had an amazing time and service here, the staff, manager, and host were very nice, attentive, and respectful. They make you feel comfortable and at home and i would definitely recommend coming here. I loved the food, service, and timing.
I am very picky when it comes to mexican food so I will say that the food was very average. In my opinion it is not very authentic but presentation is good for a commercial style mexican restaurant. For being a party of 6 and the restaurant having 4 other tables of 4 people average I think our food came out a little slow. Our server was awesome by 100% I know i will return mainly because of our service.
I haven't been here in about 12 years. My memory of this place was that the salsa was so good, I bought a bottle and the food was pretty decent. Well, we walked in today and were greeted and seated promptly... That was probably the highlight of our visit. The atmosphere is what I expected/remembered... Mexican themed, nice. Our server arrived and was friendly, took our drink order and went on her way. I felt like I had to wash my hands after touching the menus though. They brought our chips and they had an odd taste, can't describe it but I wasn't impressed. The salsa was not what I remembered, it was more like tomato sauce, my son said that and he's a teenager but I agreed. We placed our order and she left. Our food seemed to take forever, at LEAST 30 minutes. We had two servings of chips
If I'm not mistaken this is my first time eating here and it was a deep exhale of relief. Not many restaurants these days mandate excellent customer service and food that is thoroughly cooked and enjoyable. We ordered the chicken quesadillas with a side of refried beans and a spanish rice, and the pico de gallo beef enchiladas with charro beans and spanish rice. We shall return! 🍽
Feleipe was such a gentleman! Amazing service. My very picky mother really loved her chile relleno and street tacos! My whole family loved the salsa they have here, not too watery, and enough garlic. I had a plate of pork tamales with cheese and beans and rice. I loved the food here. The atmosphere was very nostalgic for my mother with the dolls with dresses she wore when she was younger. Again, Feleipe was an amazing server! He took caare of us the whole time, apologizing for any of our inconveniences. He also made sure to fix anything if an item was late or forgotten. 9.5/10 food, 9/10 service, 8/10 atmosphere.
