Delicious coconut margarita! I ordered the filet mignon tacos. They were just okay. The chips and salsa are on point. So are the nachos with melted cheese! Their tortilla soup is good too.

We choose this restaurant to celebrate a few family members birthdays this year. Such a cute restaurant. It gave good dining family atmosphere vibes. Put drinks were delightful! They have flavored margarita which were pretty tasty. The food was good as well.

Still as delicious as I remember it from a decade ago 💞 courteous and quick service and loved seeing everyone around me enjoying their meals as well! Had the enchiladas suizas, highly recommended and a tasty flan for dessert! If you're interested in drinking, can't go wrong with their blended margaritas!! So good! 👏

Do u deliver cocktails with food to go

Carolyn Licea | Mar 25, 2022

I did not order cocktails here, but they do have a large bar with a lot of cocktail options. So dining in, I would assume yes... with the new Senate Bill 389 that went into effect in California on January 1, 2022, I would assume the answer is yes, but you would need to confirm with the restaurant directly to be sure. If you call the restaurant to place a to-go order, be sure to ask. Cheers!
