“ Absolutely delectable, and entirely appetizing. I had the Flautas and the Asador ( for two ). The Flautas had a sweet touch to them and we're perfectly cooked and topped with guac, tomatoes and I believe mayo or a cheese sauce either or it was good and the Asador was great however it had two porks and I don't like pork in general very much, but I think if you do it would be pretty good. It came with Carne Asada, Pollo Asada, Carnitas, Hawaiian pork, and shrimp with Spanish rice, refried beans, three salsas, pico de gallo, and much more. The service was good as well, we were frequently checked on and they were very nice and offer bi lingual servers it necessary and the place was beautifully decorated with a traditional Mexican atmosphere of the place. Moral of the story its great, go try its worth the money! ”
“ 5:35 pm Sat 14 Oct. Pretty quiet, sat at bar. Bartender said it was happy hour until 6 pm so i lucked out. House margarita was 10 - 3 HH discount 7 and it was reasonably strong. ”
“ First time visiting. Wasn't sure what to expect as restaurant was quite empty. Ordered the Veggie Enchiladas, Seafood Rellenos and Cadillac Margarita. Food was delicious!!! Margarita was on point and tasty. They don't serve chips rather Chicharron pinwheels with salsa. Super tasty! I'm told they have mariachi on Fridays and salsa dancing Saturday evenings. Happy hour also! Definitely coming back to try other dishes. ”
“ Everything about this restaurant was great. The place was clean and smelled good. Parking was no problem. The staff was very nice. Our waiter was VERY knowledgeable, the staff also worked as a team in bringing and cleaning up our mess (table of 10). The food was fresh. Then we also had dessert and that was really good as well. Great atmosphere, Great Music, with really nice people. Love the Authentic Mexican taste with a small Fusion Twist. Coming back for sure! ”
