I've come here many times and the staff is always very friendly, music is always great, and food is very good! I usually get the steak with onions and a side of rice and beans which is delicious. This time I got the pork and pineapple tacos which I wasn't crazy about. However, the rice and beans were very good as usual. Also, the chips with guacamole is a must have, it's so delicious and creamy! My partner got a mango margarita which came in a super cute skull glass, he said it was very good and strong! I will definitely be back to try some other options!

The place looks phenomenal, if you’re in for the looks then this is a great place. On the other hand, if you in for the food I suggest of finding a real Mexican joint. The flavor in the food it’s slim to none as their clients are mostly non Hispanic. We are Hispanic (my wife and I) and we have tried many Mexican restaurants and we love it so much that we have traveled to Mexico to eat their food. Hope this comment helps anyone that wants flavorful food and not just looks.Ps: if you’re ordering for pick up, there might be a guy that asks you “you’re not going to cancel, right”. First time ordering for pick up at this restaurant and we encountered this behavior. Not so friendly after all.Parking: Small parking area but plenty in the street.

Very bad service, I ordered some tacos and they brought me chicken, the waiter picked it up and didn't even apologize. I won't go back to that place again.

The food here is 5/5 delicious. I've always had amazing food here. I highly recommend ghe fried calamari appetizer- it comes with the most creamy green crema sauce to dip. I also love the steak and onions dinner and the steak tostadas. Sangria is a great drink choice. My only complaint and only reason why I give it a 4/5 total is because I've had bad service experiences such as slow serving experiences. BEAUTIFUL restaurant great ambiance

Last Friday, December 1, we celebrated my wife's birthday in the room that they have available for reservations. I can only rate the experience as excellent, both the food and the service. Many thanks to Manuel and his team for such a pleasant moment.

Unfortunately, the worker who picks up the vegetables is tactless and very aggressive. I asked him what type of meat for quesadillas and just for giving me the meat he charged me as a special order and I asked for extra sauce because the day before they sent me two containers that the sauce only muddied the little bottleI won't order here again

In my humble opinion, the best thing this restaurant has going for it is the ambience.The food was so so, nothing stood out as amazing.The guacamole was missing something. The quesadilla appetizer had little flavor.Service was fair. Never asked if we wanted refills on drinks, service was also slow. At 6 PM on a Saturday night there were only two table occupied. When we left there were five occupied tables.Sadly, with all the Mexican restaurants on Staten Island, I will not be returning to this particular restaurant in the near future.We had heard good things about it, and I must say we were.disappointed!
