So my party and I were going to give this place a better review if we immediately rated it. However, on our way back to the mausoleum, we all got pretty sick and unable to keep to ourselves. The food did not settle well.The waiter was probably the best part of the experience, with a mellow demeanor and able to hold a pretty good conversation with all of us, he is lokely the only good experience from this trip.

We had a large group of people come in together. Like eight people. Anyway my brother in law said he didn't get full, my mom said hers was really good, she got the fried burrito. Myself and my daughter got the steak fajitas. Some of the meat was hard, there wasn't very much meat. The rice had a strange taste. Other then that the service and appearance was beautiful. We're planning on going back soon. Oh and we were seated quickly even though they were busy.Kid-friendliness: They have Mac and cheese and chicken nuggets.Parking: In front about 5 or 6 spaces.Wheelchair accessibility: Slope on entrance, glass doors but there usually open, elevator to get to the top.

Nice atmosphere. Good cocktails. Good entrees. We ordered fish tacos and cheese enchilada. Good portions. Has a full bar with barstool seating. Located inside a walk thru mall. Restaurant on the third floor; can walk up stairs or take the elevator.

Our group ordered the nachos, fish tacos, burritos, and cheese enchiladas -- all entrees were delicious -- the chile, both red and green, excellent. Don't forget to try the margaritas!

This isn’t Mexican food. It’s dog food maybe. Ordered steak burrito and was nothing but beans that have no flavor. Avoid this place at all costs. Terrible food. No meat. If so meat for a dog.

Sloppy food, just thrown on the plate and the taste is even worst. The cheese dip is nacho cheese with green Chilis dumped in it not the regular queso everybody is used to. And extremely overpriced. Skip this place!

Fantastic Mexican food. Hiked 9 miles then had the cheese dip, chicken tortilla soup, and enchiladas and the sopapillas. Wow. Very good. Ate every bite

We didn't read the reviews until we went up the 3 flights of stairs. Decided to stay. Started with margs on the rocks which were good and had a bit of a kick. You know how I feel about the chips. These were crisp and warm, that gets a couple of stars. Had a small bowl of queso that went great with the chips. The wife and I split the Carnitas plate. Thank goodness. It was huge with corn tortillas, rice and very good beans. A drop of guacamole. We thought it was pretty good. Did not sit on the patio because too hot but looked nice. Service good.

Like most people have mentioned the food here is terrible. My husband ordered the tamales and within 30 minutes was hanging over the toilet. My soon ordered Machaca and eggs and the eggs were burnt. I ordered nachos with all the toppings and received a pile of chips with ground hamburger meat, essentially no cheese, sour cream, maybe a teaspoon of finely chopped jalapeños and guacamole. You would except the food at a Mexican restaurant to have spice and there was no flavor at all. We waited over 45 minutes for this crap. Don't go here.

Great experience and ambience, with delicious food (try the fajitas!) and wonderful service. Definitely recommend!

Must be under new management. Been a year or two since we last ate here. Asked for burrito smothered in queso blanco, I got yellow American cheese melted with ground up cilantro. Ordered civeche and got cocktail camarones then complained and they said no I got civeche bc cocktail is in a cup….so they just spill it out on a plate and change the name. The French fries were cold and hard and the chicken nuggets were cold and over cooked as well. Unbelievable

They restaurant starts off with having to scan a QR code with your phone to access the menu. We get seated and after looking for what we want the waiter takes our order and doesn't understand us very well. We decide to look at the reviews, as seeing they are not very good we decide to just leave. The people next to use where complaining about there food and the exact same thing i got the Street Tacos. just stay far away from this place even though it looks appealing.

Tourist trap. This is Americanized Mexican food. It's expensive and just eatable at best. Service was inconsistent but the person helping us was nice at least. So, do yourself a favor and AVOID IT.

The margaritas were weak for $13 a piece. The service was terrible. No one acknowledged my presence until I became vocal. My husband and I spent $54 on margaritas and shared a fajita. they charged $4-7 for every add-on to the fajita. We were given about a tablespoon of tomatoes and when we requested more they wanted to charge for that too! We had to point out how much we spent on alcohol. The food quality was average. Don't waste your time or money.
