Really good service by awesome employees. Food was standard Mexican fare and was hot and promptly served. Would eat here again.

Food is delicious but the margaritas are the best. They need to have a designated bartender because each server doesn't make the margaritas the same.

Worse service! We were seated, but the waitress just ignored us and would not come to our table for service. She passed us 3 times and would not even acknowledge that we were there, we have never been treated in such a manner. I will never return there again! The floors were dirty, plus we were seated at a table and the seated were soiled and not cleaned ! They really don't deserve one star, but they did give us stale chips, what's disappointment. Fortunately, there are many other great places to spend out $$$, this one will never see us again...stay away!

Foods expensive, usually passable. Very cold tonight. Manager didn’t wash hands after using the restroom. Only semi good thing about this place is the drinks but the salsa tastes like ketchup

Loved the food and drinks. So much variety in tequilas, and our waiter was nice and gave great recommendations. Although slightly more expensive than your average Mexican restaurant, it's worth it because of the amount of food and drinks you get. Will most definitely be back!

We were on vacation and came across this on Yelp as we wanted some good Mexican food. The portions were generous as I had the Chicken Burrito and the wife had a taco salad. Neither of us could finish it. The table sauce was lacking flavor and no other sauces were offered. Service was a challenge but friendly. Had to ask for refills and never checked on us as we had to stop him for a beverage refill.

Great food with great prices. I liked the atmosphere and our server was very fast. We used call ahead seating - always a bonus when a restaurant offers that.

Great service and food!! We went on 5 de Mayo they where very busy but I could only tell because of all the people not because of the lack of service.

I personally won’t go back. Rice was not good at all. The meat on one of the plates was so dry a rough, my daughter didn’t eat. Only the beans were delicious.

Amazing place! Came here for Cinco de Mayo and the place was packed. We did not have any reservations and we still were able to get a table quickly, the staff is friendly and very fast getting food and drinks to the table. Our server Gabriel was great! Highly recommend!!

Everything was delicious and authentic. It is hard to find some delicious authentic food locally but I am happy to say the search has ended.

Great burgers and chicken fried steaks!! It's a bit pricey but they have Quality Mexican food there as well and the serving sizes are great. Highly recommend if you want to dine in and grab some drinks while you're at it.

Lovely spot for happy hour and dinner. They only have happy hour drink specials, and no food specials that I'm aware of. Their menu is very extensive, so much so that I didn't even bother looking at it. I just had my friend choose since he has been there before. For happy hour, he ordered a cadillac margarita, and I ordered a sangria. Both were decent-I think the margarita and sangria were both a bit on the sweeter side though. We got the Molcajate to share. It was the perfect amount for sharing between the two of us, and we still had a bit left over. The seasoning on all the meats and vegetables were fantastic. It came with a good amount of shrimp, beef, and chicken. The complimentary chips and salsa were good as well. Although, I think the salsa was a bit bland for my taste. A little pricier than most Mexican restaurants, but you do get quality food. I'm a bit biased only because I lived in LA and San Diego-and nothing beats the Mexican food there. For the most part, this is a good restaurant. Good attentive staff as well. This would be a good sit-down restaurant for dinner, but not a spot for picking up a quick bite.

The portions are huge!! Good for at least 2-3 meals. So while the menu looks expensive at first glance, just remember you'll probably take home leftovers. I thought the food was good, and pretty comparable to other places.
