We walked in and there were 3 servers there standing and talking that looked at us but didn’t seat or acknowledge us. There were no other customers there and there was almost no windows. There was also a random child there and it didn’t feel like a safe environment for them. Can’t talk on the food but I can say avoid this place if you come into town.

Ordered the seafood chimichanga and the ceviche, along with a mojito and a tropical margarita. Everything slayed and the portions were massively satisfying. Drinks were strong! Super bomb chips and salsa on the house?!? Staff is extremely attentive and friendly- many helpful recommendations. The atmosphere is fun (don’t miss the dope mural) clean, and cozy.

Get the table side guac and you will be just a better human afterwards haha. Great quality of food! I got the dinner combo which was a basic rice and beans, a chicken quesadilla and hard taco. I had a hard time slowing down it was so good. Service could have been a little bit better on refilling water for my guests and I. But that would be my only critique + why I’m giving 4/5.Overall a really great authentic Mexican spot you don’t wanna miss!
