Has you can see in my picture. Mouth watering and tasty to the max! Great place to visit if you got a big appetite. Friendly customer service also! And this was my takeout order.

Food and service both good. Street tacos were SUPER generous and great flavor. Great attention and refill on beers for us both. The atmosphere… a bit sticky in the floor department (“that’s what she said!”, 99% humidity, plus a WWII squadron of flys (judging their accuracy, possibly French) made their way into the main serving room to nibble on the food and my ankles. Nothing much to be done about that, hence a god review. But seriously. AC?.

Great food and excellent service. Waiters and bus boys were working hard and building up a sweat but still kept the masks on. They're working hard but still kind. Show them love, they deserve it.

I had an amazing meal. Nicole is an amazing manager. She addressed an issue I had and solved it immediately with compassion. She went above and beyond with her kindness and hospitality. This will always be one of my favorite restaurants 🩷

Came here with some friends and this place is really good for the area. I got the steak and fajitas which was delicious. They're known for their margaritas and they didn't disappoint. A MUST when you come here. So many flavors so have at it. I'll be returning

This place is doing it right. I had the best Chile Relleno that I’ve ever had. Food was flavorful and the atmosphere is nice. The dining room was nearly full by the time we left, so I think the community at large is also a fan.

Haven't been here in years and, man, have we been missing out. The ambience takes you in as soon as you walk through the door. The setting and decor transport you straight to a Mexican locale. Our server, Andrew, was attentive, friendly, and understanding despite how busy the place was. Food was well cooked and seasoned. So delicious. The whole family loved it, which is a rare thing with our kids. Lol. Will have to come back more often.

Met a friend here for lunch on a Saturday evening. Although they were out of chimichanga, which is what I went there for, the fish tacos that I ordered were good Lupita, our waitress, was very attentive. We ate on the rooftop and had a large fish bowl drink of Cosmo Rita and mango margarita. From the rooftop, we can see part of the dam and catch a nice view of the sunset.
