Best Mexican food ever. Mexican is one of those cuisines that’s easy to be good but harder to stand out … and this one does! Delicious margaritas with fresh lime juice, delicious and beautifully presented apps and entrees… all with super friendly service, plenty of free parking… very much worth the trip 5 min away from downtown! A must if you like Mexican!

Fighting above their weight class and struggling to get the basics right. I wouldn't define this as a family style Mexican restaurant, but more like an attempt at higher end bar food. The bottomless chips find their bottom due to lack of attention from wait staff and by all accounts the drinks were warm. The atmosphere is pleasant, which is good because the wait for food after ordering was nearly an hour. My suggestion is to establish more traditional Mexican restaurant tenants including larger portions, fast service, liberal use of cheese, large cold drinks, enthusiastic wait staff, kid friendly options, and exceptional beans and rice. All missing at this establishment.

Margaritas were decent but our food came out cold and very under seasoned. The rice and beans were extremely bland and in desperate need of salt. And service took forever. We waited over 45 minutes for tacos… Needless to say I wouldn’t be coming back again.

Excellent food all around. My black mole carnitas enchiladas were great, the tortillas being the stars and the mole rich in flavor. The handmade chips and salsa were perfect as well. My only complaint was that my dinner needed a bit more acid, which was easily fixed with a squeeze of lime. Oh, and the ghost pepper sauce was a perfect blend of heat and flavor. I'll definitely be back.
