Customer Reviews
Simply the best Mexican food I've had since I left Texas! This is a great restaurant with great food! We had the Street Tacos and the Steak Fajitas and both were really good and the portions were very generous. We had to take a out half of it home in a to go box! We washed our meal down with their Cadillac Margaritas, which were also excellent. The atmosphere was colorful and comfortable. All the staff were friendly and attentive. We'll be back!
The staff was quick and very friendly, the booth was comfortable and the restaurant aesthetically pleasing. That being said, the food was not good. The chips, salsa, burrito all were very meh. The chicken in the burrito was rubbery... like the chicken that's injected with saline for mass. Enchilada sauce on top of the burrito, also meh. Guacamole somehow was mostly just a piece of avocado. The pinto beans in the burrito were good. Overall I wouldn't come back here.
I came in with my wife to this restaurant, greeted by a lady in a devil costume. There was three other tables of guests before us. Now I've been a waitress and worked in kitchens my whole life. The service we got from this woman was trash. She literally checked on the already eating tables 3-4x before we even got our drinks. Our drinks came out with our food that took 20 minutes. And my food was cold cause she was eating sitting at the bar before grabbing our food. We asked for more chips cause we usually get more without asking when going to this restaurant but today this devil lady said we had to pay for them even though in the past we never had to pay, but today we could get a little more cause we were "patient" so she even acknowledged that we were waiting super long before getting
It took 30 minutes to get food for 2 people to the table. I was about to walk out. Atmosphere was dark and quiet. Music was playing but you could still hear the staff and management talking about the their concerns. There was hardly any customer service. Will never go there again.
I love this place, in large part due to the amazing staff. Sadly I didn't get their names, but one woman seemed to be made of magic as she handled the late lunch crowd and bar generally by herself. As noted, it was a late lunch, so it wasn't too busy but it was getting busy as it was turning into happy hour/early dinner time. Any way, she was super helpful, kind, and attentive and never seemed to be too busy or overwhelmed. Then another young lady came in and also helped. So clearly I'm first and foremost impressed and appreciative of the staff. Next they bring salsa and chips. Loved the tomatillo salsa. I ordered nachos. The guac on the nachos was pretty great. I also ordered fried ice cream and she gave me both chocolate and strawberry sauce on it. The strawberry sauce was best! (get tha
