The salad was very good and the portion was large enough for us to share. My husband enjoyed his shrimp dish and I enjoyed my short rib dish. The cappuccino and flan ended the evening just right. Also enjoyed the music that was playing in the background. It was soft and set the mood. We will return to try more dishes.

Cozy atmosphere with good food. Friendly server. Would like to see more on menu. $11 guacamole seems too pricey.

I want to like this place but the service is a struggle. They are so nice and friendly but the 2x I have been here, the wait staff seems to be frazzled and can’t seem to get it right. There wasn’t even a large crowd and it took forever to just bring a plate of chips over. No cups for kids so they were drinking out of big heavy glasses. Food is so so, kinda salt heavy.

The food was outstanding. We had such a hard time choosing between all the options. The guacamole and chips were excellent. We split the enchiladas and the birria quesadillas (both amazing) & somehow found room for dessert. Some of the best food we’ve had in a while. No joke - We’ll be back next week.

A really great, authentic Mexican dining experience. Super friendly staff but....a bit understaffed, at least the night we were there. Food took quite some time to get to us, same with our drinks. Besides the slow service, everything else was above average.

our main meal was very good. i had the chicken enchiladas. the guacamole appetizer was highly disappointing. It tasted store bought. consistency was like glue. there were no jalapeños in it but the menu mentioned it. probably the worse guac i ever had. how they dont make it fresh is beyond me. i would go back for dinner but would not order the guac. anyone thats been to a good mex restaurant will know the difference.
