Happened to be in the area and gave it a try. So happy we did! It's in a weird building but you will not be disappointed. Amazing food with fast service! The menu has plenty to choose from without being overwhelming. Try the chorizo skillet. I can't wait to go back!

Great atmosphere, though when it's busy, can be noisy. We enjoyed the meal, and time with friends, plus reminiscing of being there in the past.

Happy hour is amazing! The food that you get for the price is unbeatable. Definitely have to hit it up if you are in the area. One of the best happy hours I have ever seen for food. No joke. The ceviche appetizer will feed two people!

We moved up north about a year ago and have finally found our Mexican food restaurant. The atmosphere was artsy with murals on the walls, decorations, and felt very open. Doesn't feel overcrowded with the placements of the tables. There was a mariachi band to help with the celebration for the guest. The service was great. Our server checked on us often and our food came out pretty quick. The food had flavor, yum. The rice didn't taste like tomato paste was the base, the beans were perfect. The price was also not bad at all. This will be the place we bring our friends and family to when they visit.

Came in for lunch before heading back home and ordered. Service was fast and the food came in quickly. Drinks were good and area was clean as well as the bathroom. Tacos were also good.

We were a party of 6 and had dinner in November. This was my first time here and it was recommended by our friends. The inside of the restaurant was huge with authentic Mexican atmosphere. There were beautiful murals on the walls. The menu was extensive and reasonably priced. We enjoyed our food & drinks. Our server was attentive.
