Food was lukewarm at best, bland and no flavor whatsoever. Chips and salsa tasted from jewels and not homemade.

Always passed by this place so decided to stop in. Got seated right away. Our server was super informative and always kept the conversation going with us making us feel welcome. We got chips and salsa for a start and the salsa I recommend it had a nice kick to it. Chips were good as well We got steak tacos and baja fish tacos with the beans and rice. I'd say both meals were a 6/10, the steak wasn't too bad just different than expected. The fish was too fishy and couldn't get over it even with having the chipotle mayo on it. The beans were all stuck together with a mush so it wasn't too great. The rice was just okay. The pico on the tacos was good though. Overall inside is pretty small compared to the actual building when driving by it, nice bar area though.

Overall enjoyed going here for dinner. The food is good but not great and same with the drinks. Definitely worth a try though. I will say their mini churro dessert was very very good. I could see myself coming back to try it

After being referred by a friend we were looking forward to our 1st experience here but experienced the worst dining experience in 30+ years.Room Ambience/Temperature = Double Negative ZeroIf you like to wear your coat while dining then this is the place for you as there's a constant cold draft blowing through whole restaurant from the outdoor seating area door being constantly open.Cleanliness = Triple Negative ZeroFloors were disgusting W/leftover food, napkins & whatever else shuffling under our feet & under other tables. We can't speak for the bathrooms but can't imagine they are well tended to if the dining room was in the condition it was.Service = Quadruple Negative ZeroHands down the worst service ever of dining out in 4 decades. Seat yourself then hope somebody sees you sat down only to be told we'll be with you in a few minutes (more like 10 minutes) & then gave us a menu! *Note: the place was maybe at 25% capacity. Then a different server returns & she takes our drink/dinner order. Drinks were 5-10 minutes then server did not return once to ask if we wanted a another drink or more chips & salsa even after placing the empty glass at the edge of the table. She only returned with our dinners 30+ minutes later! The wife's dinner arrived 1st ice cold & even at that point the server looked at the empty glass on the table & didn't ask if we wanted another drink, 5 minutes later my dinner arrived. We were literally seconds away from paying for our drinks & leaving.Atmosphere - Been to dozens of real authentic Hispanic restaurants but nothing special here, "A" typical Mexican Restaurant done very poorly.Food = 2 At best, but probably would have rated better had all of the above not been so awful.Drinks = 4 The only good thing worth rating.Overall save your $$$ there's many other much better Mexican restaurant establishments to support in the area. *As a side note we never rate dining or other experiences online but felt this was that bad we had to voice our displeasure. Definitely a one & done experience & we are praying we don't get food poisoning...

This is our little gem in Roselle. The food is amazing and the service is great. The bartender Angel makes awesome drinks and is very quick and efficient. The waiters are very friendly and treat the guests like royalty. Erick is also fantastic. I highly recommend the fajitas.

The food was tasty and the service was good. We were there around 2:30 pm so it was quieter than expected for a bar, but the drinks and the food were yummy. We will be coming back

I meant to write this a couple weeks ago. We came on a Wed and they were slammed so instead of waiting the host (I wish I knew his name) came to help us and took our order via memory. I figured something would be screwed up and everything was perfect. The host was probably the best waitor I've ever had with such a crazy good memory and attentiveness all while hosting. What could have been easily been a bad experience was amazing. I hope he gets credit for the teamwork and his additional skillset. The only downside there is it gets so loud it's hard to talk but the food is great so worth it. Thank You again to the host!
