The crew here always does a great job. There is a wide variety of margarita flavors. The chips are fresh, crispy and plentiful. My go to is usually some queso and the Fajita nachos. There is plenty for one person and come as chicken beef or shrimp. They are like a stuffed tortilla chip with lettuce, avocado, lettuce and pico de gayo.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I’ve eaten here several times and tried several things and Imop the best thing is the stuffed peppers. I am told the chicken quesadilla is the best in the area . Salsa here is really good better than most places as are the chips. But the salsa is always really chunky and because of that the chips break. Don’t change the chips …we are so glad to have those thinner chips ! I am not a fan of their rice. Not sure what the seasoning is that is always pronounced and forward in the rice but I find it overwhelms the dish. Service here is always good. It’s a little pricey. Parking can be tricky, not much parking .

I ordered my food to go via phone. I ordered fajitas nacho mix. When they wasn’t clear on that included steak shrimp and chicken I should have recognized the red flag. However I still continue with my order. Upon getting back to work with my food I opened the container and saw that the nachos had shredded cheese and looked very distasteful. I instantly called the restaurant and spoke with the owner who lacked customer service and Mexican authenticity. I explained to her that the food I received was not as expected. She stated well that’s how it is on the menu and I have been serving it that way for 12 years. I informed her that no Mexican restaurant serves it that way and I am very displeased. She was not willing to compromise with me and not trying to offer to make it right with paying $22 for 8 chips.Customer satisfaction is everything in a business and she definitely didn’t have any of that. Definitely wouldn’t recommend anyone going there. Owner was very rude.
