We had a wonderful first-time experience here with a weekend lunch. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and we got there early enough to snag a booth. The ambiance is warm and lively, between the live greenery hanging from the ceiling and the beautiful Mexican decor. The menu is late and full of enticing dishes; it was hard to decide which to go with. Everything we tried was delicious. We started with guacamole (highly recommend getting this) with the chips provided, along with drinks from the specials list - spicy Palomas (yum!). The burritos and chicken mole negro were flavorful and packed with quality ingredients. We were too full for dessert but would definitely try it on another trip. We'll be back again soon!

Everything tasted fantastic, the La Rhumba drink honestly only tasted like lime with a hint of coconut lurking around, wouldve liked a little more coconut flavor to be there but still alright. Server was very attentive and kind, always a good experience. The atmosphere was incredibly loud, some songs were louder than the already loud ones.

This is a must visit location if you enjoy authentic Mexican with a suburban twist! Great location and absolutely splendid food. I always get the fajitas which come out sizzling hot each time. I went yesterday with my mother and were blown away by our amazing server and how quickly we were met with water and chips and salsa to start. I’ve been here over 10 times and will always rave about this place.

Disappointing Experience Despite High Expectations We arrived at the restaurant around 6:00 PM and were seated promptly on the patio. At first, this seemed like a great start, but unfortunately, things quickly went downhill. After being told multiple times that our server would be “right with us,” it took a full 20 minutes before we were even asked for our drink order. In the meantime, different staff members brought water and chips and salsa — each repeating the same promise that our server would be with us shortly. Drinks finally arrived around 6:30, and our queso shortly after — which tasted like it may have come from a jar (though I can't say for sure). Our entrees arrived ten minutes later, but were dropped off without any follow-up. We needed napkins and hot sauce, but our server ha

I absolutely love Mexican food yet while the atmosphere and service were great the food presented well yet lacked flavor and seasoning on everything. We were brought chips and salsa and I literally had to ask myself “what is this?” there was no wow factor - the intro to the rest of your meal - I was not impressed. I ordered a quesadilla which was beautifully presented but the chicken & tortilla lacked flavor and seasoning - a little salt and pepper, maybe cumin, cilantro would’ve helped. My daughter ordered the Baja tacos and she advised that while it presented well it also lacked seasoning in the fish and in the batter the fish was cooked in. My other daughter had steak tacos and was not satisfied with the lack of seasoning as well. The drinks were great, the service was great but the
