This is NOT Mexican food AT ALL. The chicken was peppered to death and dry. Taco Bell would’ve been better. Smh

Flavorless chicken in the quesadilla, super salty beans, and mushy rice. 1/10 do not recommend.

Coming from a SoCal girl this is the best Mexican food we’ve found on island. The basic staples such as rice and beans were amazing. Their tortillas are handmade. Fajitas were seasoned to perfection. ??

I grew up in Arizona and and akso lived in Southern California. The Mexican food there is terrific. I've eaten Mexican in 12 states. First time trying this out here, and it's by far the worst Mexican food I have ever eaten. I've never had Carne Asada with no seasoning. Literally none. Salsa, no flavor. Tortillas, no flavor. Rice and beans, surprise! No flavor. And 2 tacos, rice, and beans cost $19. You should be ashamed to charge people that price for this meal as is, even if it were amazing. But I would even pay $5 for this somewhere else with the way it tastes. I would rather have eaten microwaved burritos. You have done a disservice to the people of Mexico and real Mexican food with this kind of service. I hope you figure your restaurant out in the future.

I love this restaurant a lot because the waiters are patient and respectful. I don't understand why there was a rating for 1 because in my opinion it has the tastiest carne asada fries and burritos. I love how the restaurant is colorful and very beautiful! I told my friends to come here if they ever go to hawaii!

Holy Moly

Small place with great food and affordable prices. I had the Carne Asada.
