The best thing about this restaurant was the ambience and decoration. The bright coloured material and Mexican decorations made for a really interesting contrast against the traditional stain glass windows and dark wood of this former church. The staff were also great, but I can't give it more than 3 stars due to the food. Unfortunately, it was mediocre at best. The fish taco came half filled with just a few pieces of fish, no sauce or onion or cilantro or... well anything to make it a step up from bland. It was a shame because the actual meat and fish wasn't bad, it was just very plain. It was good enough to hit the spot when you're hungry, but I wouldn't rush back for an authentic meal.

Large selection of Mexican food on the menu. And drinks. Festive atmosphere though a bit noisy.

No. Don’t come here. Food was tasteless. Plate was messy. Too many loud people, the tables were so close. If anyone moved there side of the seat, they would move me also! I ordered a fish taco, and the fish was absolutely from the sea. Slimy, overbearing fish meat (salmon), for $16!! And didn’t come with sour cream, lettuce, tomato, nothing. Only salmon, rice, and sauce on the side. Like get out of here with that! Going to tell me sour cream is $2 extra.. so you mean to tell me, to get sour cream I’d have to pay $18 for 3 tacos, that taste like the poisonous sea and a side of sour cream. Ok, but I can go to Taco Bell spend $18 for 12 taco supremes. Don’t waste your money or time!! Oh before I forget, our server left! Didn’t finish taking our money to close our orders because the tip was already included. Had another server help us!! Of course I had to tip her $20 just for the inconvenience.

The decor in this restaurant is very unique as it was formally a church. Luckily there wasn’t a wait and we were able to get promptly seated for dinner. The server was very attentive and nice. I ordered the Quesadillas Texanas and it was very good - I just wish it came with rice and beans for the price.
