Very cozy and comfortable atmosphere. It was unanimous by all 4 in my party that the guacamole tasted like egg salad! However, the waitress stated there wasn't egg in it. Otherwise, the California burritos, enchiladas and tacos were all good portion, tasty and reasonably priced. The service was very accommodating and friendly. I would return when in the area again!

Very good restaurant. Service is friendly and excellent food. Parking is round the back or on the street. Only problem is that the place is too popular and seems to get overwhelmed. You might need to fight to get the waitress attention. Be ready to come in and use the QR code for the menu. Plus it can get real cramped with people waiting inside when its cold and standing by your table while you eat. Probably not a big issue during summer. Definitely recommend the chicken. Guac is a great option. Perfect volume for volume eaters, you get a REAL massive serving of whatever you order.Parking: Park round the corner. Lot is a little busy, but you can usually find a spot. If not, then I dont think the cops care too much for parking on street.

A local spot for authentic, delicious Mexican food. The menu is expansive and has many vegetarian options. Their appetizer chips are superb, and I would definitely recommend the Fish Tacos as an entree. Surprisingly, the Nachos were quite soggy and lacking a flavor profile. Service was quick and ambiance was slightly loud, but quite comfortable.

I want to write this review in the most polite and diplomatic way…We didn’t like the food. Hopefully, our experience was an isolated case, and we wish the restaurant owners only happy customers.

What a terrific Mexican restaurant located in Princeton perfectly within a residential neighborhood, with just a few commerical properties nearby. We went on a Friday night at prime time. We were seated at our table right away, salsa was terrific, dinner/dessert was great, everything came really quick, and the price was fair (They remind you to pay cash or they is 3.5% charge for credit card use). It's BOYB and they do serve wine by the glass and/or bottle for purchase. Next time we will bring some Sangria.Parking: Parking lot for 8 cars in back, the rest is street parking.

Cute date night place. Service was friendly and quick, Food was good, nothing special. Prices are way to high. For 2 basic dishes out the door $75.00. Thats just too expensive. I hardly go out to eat anymore for this

Best Mexican I have dined on outside of San Antonio Texas the Mecca of Tex Mex. It can be difficult to get a table but always worth the wait! Service is very friendly and efficient. The food is always very good and they have Tamales which are a rarity in this area cooked with corn masa. I recommend getting a platter with their awesome Chile Rellenos and at least a tamale. They will fill them with your choices and also Salsa Verde or Chile Rojo. The salsa fresco is very good too. Don't forget to get a real Mexican fruit soda sweetened with real sugar not corn syrup to cool down the heat. Deserts like flan or Tres Leches Cake are terrific. Always a family favorite!

What could have been a cute restaurant, is Notbecause of their additional 3.5% surcharge for using credit cards .They seem to expect customers to pay with cash ? to pay their expensive item prices.The Food was tolerable.I will Not visit here again.

Disappointed by this spot. We waited 10 minutes at the door to be seated because the waiters and staff kept passing back and forth from tables but did not come up to greet us. Plus there was no host/hostess. The food was not bad. I did get enchiladas and had them with beans and cheese filling. The place was very busy and packed for a Saturday night. They do accept cash only I think and have an atm inside. The prices are on the higher end for the quality and quantity of food.
