Absolutely the best authentic Mexican food I've had in years. Went for dinner around 5:30 and were seated right away. Our server was the BEST. Super friendly, very efficient. Chips were much better than run of the mill chips served from other Mexican restaurants. Margarita was quite tasty. Food was served quickly and super piping hot. VERY generous portions. My sister in law LOVED the Taco Salad, said it was loaded with beef and very tasty. I had the #3 on the Combination Platters: Taco, Enchilada and Chile Relleno. All 3 were superb. Great flavor. The Relleno was not in a greasy batter and had a delicious stuffing. Can't wait to go back.

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.

We ate here tonight, & won't be back! Food was ok, except for the black hair we found in our queso! & the fact that we were charged higher prices than advertised on their menu or the waitress added something extra! Neither would surprise me. Our waitress was honestly horrible! We never saw her! We finally got desperate & had to grab one of the guys to refill our drinks, bring napkins & bring us extra flour tortillas for our fajitas. Our drinks, chips & salsa sat empty the whole time. They were not busy so there was no excuses for such poor service in my opinion! Much better food & customer service around than to settle for this!

We've eaten here before, but the 3 stars are for our most recent experience. We ordered food to go. Arroz con pollo, pico de gallo, and two burritos with queso on top. Not a ton of food. Total price? $53!! My wife had the arroz con pollo that she enjoyed. I had the burritos which were fine. TL;DR VERY overpriced for what we ordered, despite the food being good quality.
