“ What a great time! I am a Bonvoy - Eat Around Town restaurant person (4-6x the points!). This place was on the list & I was nearby. Came in, was immediately greeted and seated. Ordered and the food came almost immediately! It felt like less than 5 min for the apps. And less than 10 for my meal. The flavor was so inviting. They also added a bean, sauce/dip to the intro chips - never had that before and i wanted more. This came with 2 sauces. I really want to ask them if they sell the green one. Ordered chimichanga & tacos for my meal. It was a Saturday and they were running HAPPPY HOUR specials on food and drinks!!!! My drink (a margarita) made me want to get thirds. I settled for seconds. Ana was my server/bartender. She was attentive and welcoming. She checked on me often enough but not too much. She also was really warm. I'm sure Id come back just for her. Others helped me while I was there too. They all knocked it out the park. Honestly, I left feeling so happy! ”
“ It was excellent! The staff was so nice and attentive when we came in with 2 babies. The food was great and it’s a great location. Our party of 4 ordered a variety of things and enjoyed them all. They also have those tasty mexican sodas. ”
“ Nice little place not too far from the crib, excellent margaritas menu and great service. We wandered in on mom’s day and had some great guacamole and stout margs and walked it back to the hood. Great choice right down the road from us. ”
“ The food was absolutely amazing here. We forgot to take photos but I’m sure we’ll be back many times and will be sure to update this review. I was surprised that they weren’t busier because they definitely exceeded expectations and was the best Mexican food I had in a while. We got the chorizo quesadilla and the chicken flautas. Both were perfectly made, Quesadilla was so flavorful with everything cooked perfectly, and the flautas had the best crunch without falling apart when you bite it. Would definitely recommend getting both. Also, their beans rock ”
