Stumbled upon this place by accident. Was actually thinking of walking out. However, I decided to give it a shot & I’m glad I did. It was on a Sunday afternoon, Karaoke Sundays. They had some good singers, which turned up the vibe. I had their Avocado Taco & Camaron a la Diabla and it was delicious. Fresh and just the right flavor. Waiters were very attentive.

Went on the weekend during daytime hours. Ordered flautas and what came were taquitos. Not the same thing at all! My friend asked for a little bit of Pico de Gallo and was charged $2.50 for it! Will not go back.

Came here with a friend and his daughter. When I arrived my friend said some guy who worked there (bartender) told him they closed and open at 5pm, it was only 3pm. I said that's not what their website says, happy hour starts at 3pm. I then told my friend let's go back in and sure as I thought they were open. I ordered a cocktail (Grey goose and tonic) the drink was all tonic water. I don't mind a weak drink but I watched the drink be made and the bartender who said they were closed only poured a drop in the glass and I'm not exaggerating. For lunch I order an asada burrito and as you can see in the pick there was like 4 little pieces of asada in the whole burrito. Food quality was horrible as well 2 bites and instant heat burn. I'll never eat hear again. In all everything sucked. Well I can't see how to attach a pic so sorry mo evident but believe me, food sucked.

My wife and I tried this place for the first time since it opened some years ago and we were pretty impressed. The wait staff were friendly and very helpful. The food was delicious and very affordable. I think we found a new lunch spot when we're by the beach.

Nicest owners, and oh my, you have to try the birria pizza! It's delish! Family friendly in a calm environment, during the day. And at night a great place to go dancing. They have it all.

This is a family restaurant Be patient with the staff they are super friendly but under staffed We have been to this location twice and both time the food was amazing, clean and leaving wanting moreHowever you will be charged accordingly for extra chips and salsaSo if you are a chip and salsa lover slow your roll..They haven't changed out the decor since it use to be the Chinese PalBut I'm not opposed to it.There is live music The bartender was amazing she make delicious margaritas Quesabirria Tacos

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This restaurant was very delicious the customer service was outstanding, very respectful and attentive waiters.Me and my family went on a Sunday afternoon, and were seated right away. We were given totopos (tortilla chips) with salsita they were very tasty and crispy. We ordered Vaquero Tacos, Chile Relleno, Carne Asada Nachos, Flautas de Pollo, and a Carnitas Taco. Everything was Delicious. I highly recommend the Taco de Carnitas, as a Michoacana I know carnitas, and these are Tasty! The Chile Relleno tasted like my Abuelitas, highly HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Very family friendly and great ambiance!

Service was lacking, food didn't have much flavor. I got stereo typed, they brought us the "gringo" salsa that was watery and had little flavor. We asked for hotter salsa, it was ok but also lacked flavor. Note: they brought out the chips and salsa without us asking, and charged us $5 for them... we won't be returning.
