Working from out of state and found this gem. Everything was EXCELLENT!!! Jalapeño mixed Fajitas: I typically don't order fajitas, but the photo from a prior patron sold me on the fajitas. Excellent flavor. I also asked for extra jalapeños. Side of guacamole: very creamy and a ton of flavor. Chips and salsa: chips were light and crispy and the salsa was packed with a lot of flavor. Staff was nice, professional, attentive, and very polite. Only negative part of my visit was that it was a little on the warm side in the restaurant. I have one more week here and with definitely be having another visit.

My brother's choice for birthday dinner, all of our first time eating there. Service was exceptional, drinks were on point, food was amazing! The margaritas were so good, huge & strong, the beer was cold. We ordered fajitas to taco salad to plantains, everything was delicious! We all left so full, we will definitely return for more.

Ema was a great server. Very attentive. The margarita was nothing to write home about but definitely not the worst I’ve had. I did have 3 here if that says anything. The chips and salsa were awesome. The salsa actually has onion and cilantro in it. Not just ground tomato like many other places. The food was a bit dry, it did have decent flavor but I think next trip I’ll try the Hawaiian fajitas.

Just had birria tacos but they were amazing. Cure spot with authentic decorations. I was told the chips and salsa were made in house but they warehouse bought- delicious regardless though!

Came here for authentic Mexican and paid authentic prices...$21 for 4 tacos is ridiculous!!!! My quesadilla could have been made at home by my daughter and tasted better. They did have good salsa, that was about it. Don't waste your time.
