The service, staff & food are excellent. The venue has very very loud music & very very loud karoake - cranked. It would be 5 star if they turned down the volume.

A pretty solid Mexican place in DeKalb! They will make the guac right in front of you - so it tastes super excellent and fresh. They are also good about giving you plenty of chip and salsa refills. I ordered the Mariscos con Arroz. The portion was huge - I couldn't eat all of it despite being very hungry. I ordered it spicy but it wasn't very spicy so don't expect any spiciness in the food. The food was pretty salty - I ended up gulping down a big glass of water to deal with the saltiness. The food was still good - just a bit too salty and not spicy enough.

Food is great, if you order guacamole it is made at your table, just in front of you and you are given several options of add-ons to it.

Very expensive and average amount of food. Quality good but not fancy. The average meal is like 17 dollars.

It's an ok place. Not a cozy setting for dinner, but maybe for a quick lunch. Food was adequate, but nothing special to bring me back.

They have problems with Latin customers. The waiters point out the difference between the attention they give to Latin customers, the waitress came to our table with a curt attitude, but when she turned to the next table, where there were Americans, it was a total change. The food is not the best, especially if you find a hair or a rubber band on your plate. We went in and asked for a table for 4 and they gave us a table for 3, we had to go look for the other chair. The waitress spoke to us in a bad way. The tacos with burnt meat. The food ingredients lack quality. It was my 3rd time at the restaurant, because family and friends from other places visited me and because of the location, they chose this restaurant, but it is the last time I go there, no matter the time, it is the same bad service.

I ordered the steak with a make your own tacos thing on the menu. It tastes like they sell FAKE FOOD ! That is such an offense !!! It should be illegal to serve fake food in a restaurant!
