The lighting and music were at a good level to keep a conversation and see the menu. The menu is huge, and you can find anything you want on it. The chips were typical corn tortilla chips, but the salsa was outstanding, not too hot, and plenty of cilantro for your taste buds. The main dishes arrived in a decent time. I had the spicy Tacos with chicken and chorizo; it was fantastic, a little spicy. The chorizo had a smoky flavor, and the chicken was not tough. Side dishes, rice, and beans. The rice was not sticky at all, and the beans had a smoky flavor unlike that of other Mexican restaurants. They were very tasty. The extra beef taco was filled with beef, no shortcuts there. Wife had the pableno dish. I tried the beef, which was very tender, and the pableno was excellent. My daughter and my wife said the shrimp were bigger than at most restaurants and had a great flavor. ( I'm allergic and could not try the shrimp) My daughter's dish was the spicy Nachos. Again, the beef was the most tender I have ever had at a Mexican restaurant, and I loved the white cheese queso and chorizo. It all just came together. This Mexican Restaurant is definitely a winner in my book. I will be back to try many other dishes. By the way, we went on a Monday night around 7:00 pm, it was not very busy at all.

The service was attentive and the food came fast. This restraunt checks all the boxes for me. It is moderately priced but understandably so. For a negative, I thought the sandwich was a little dry, perhaps adding some more pastor would make it more juicy. I did have some birria sauce on the table which helped but masked the pastor flavor. Also the avocado was also all placed on one side and on the first bite so I spread those out more evenly. I left feeling very satisfied!

I like the idea of the QR codes to order at the tables. It felt like it made the process a bit faster, but it was still a hospitable environment. Everyone was very friendly and we felt taken care of. There was a short wait on a Friday at 6pm, but it was well worth it.

My only complaint from the entire time we were there, was our table. It was tiny. We had to keep moving items to make room. It was also right by the door that leads out to the patio. Fortunately it was a chilly night so there weren't people going in and out. There were other (larger) tables available and were not occupied during the time we were there. Our server was Angela and she was great! She had a fun personality and knew the menu well. Within a minute - maybe two - we had water and chips and salsa on the table. The chips were thin and crispy and not too salty - they were really good. The salsa was okay. It needed some heat. We ordered our cocktails and the Queso Flameado. The restaurant used to be Momo's (a Greek restaurant) and this flaming cheese is a carry over from there. It was yummy. I had the burrito. I chose to have steak in it and have it smothered in queso. It was delicious and had so much meat in it! My husband had the stuffed poblano peppers with chicken. It's served open faced and it's huge! He really enjoyed it and brought a lot of it home. We were full, but we got the baked mini churros for dessert. And yes, they were also really good! When I say this was the most food I had eaten in one sitting for a long time, I'm not kidding. I have conquered the ability to not stuff myself, but I couldn't help it last night. It was so good! We will most definitely be back!

First off, listen to your server when they tell you 2 tacos is enough! These tacos are LOADED. We thought we knew better and ordered 3 each anyway. No regrets though because they were ridiculously good. I ordered the Truth or Consequences, the McCausland, and the Nashville. I'd absolutely order all three again. The Nashville was really solid, but the Truth or Consequences and the McCausland are the real stars. Both are super unique and absolutely packed with flavor. I'll definitely be back to work my way through more of the menu. 100% love what they've got going on here.

He especially loves their menu because you can get shrimp with everything. The guacamole is the best I've ever had. The green sauce is exceptional. The margarita was okay, a little too sweet and a little too green. The service was great! The atmosphere was as expected. We were the only native English speakers there, it's a proper little Mexican restaurant. We'll be back.

After sitting for about 10 minutes the manager or owner, I'm assuming, came up and asked if we had been helped, we hadn't. He apologized and got a waitress to come over. After that the server came over a lot to check in. I got a virgin margarita that was so pretty, it had sparkles in it and was the desert pear flavor. It was very good and not too sweet. To eat I got the street tacos, grilled chicken, barbacoa, and asada. The grilled chicken and barbacoa had a lot of flavor and was very good. The asada tacos did not have a lot of flavor so it was not my favorite. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience but it was a bit disappointing when the place wasn't busy it took so long for someone to come over and get our drink orders.

We had a party of 10 but only 8 orders, 3 of which were street tacos. The server was nice, the food was food but the wait was crazy.

Someone in passing recommended coming here for Taco Tuesday so we headed in to see how they were…read more We've gone by this place so many times, but never tried it, because from the outside we couldn't tell if they were actually open (They are! They just have a reflective film on their windows that obscures that people are inside. If this was ever your deterrent, too, please stop by!). The people are very friendly, and very willing to answer questions. One thing to note though, there is nothing that advertises they do a Taco Tuesday special anywhere on their menu or inside. It also took a while to order, not just because they have an extensive menu, but because their menus are well worn so it's hard to see what is what. Here is their Taco Tuesday breakdown: They are hard shell corn tacos, $1.25 each. They come stuffed with seasoned meat (ground beef or shredded chicken only), lettuce, and a big helping of cheese. There isn't a vegetarian option for the special, but you can order veggie tacos from their regular menu. I got one of each to know which to have in the future (they're both good but the beef is more flavorful), the #6 special (enchilada, relleno, rice and beans), and my friend and I shared a flan. She had the Mexicanos tacos (street) and mixed and matched hers with 2 steaks and 1 lengua. That one comes with a separate salsa roja that was spicy and smokey. I would totally get that next time. One thing to note, I thought I was getting a chille relleno in my special. No, it's just relleno! My bad Probably won't be getting that again as that is not my thing. The specials range from $11.25 to $11.75 so very affordable yet filling. I definitely took most of my food home. The leche flan is made in house and is $6 but DENSE and perfectly caramelized and not overly sweet.

When we walked in, the place was empty, besides the singular bartender standing behind the bar. She told us to sit anywhere we wanted, so we chose a table near the bar. Then, she politely asked us to move to the bar. She apologized and said she was new and that she didn't know what was going on. We started with an order of chips and salsa and shared a mango margarita on the rocks. Let's just say our marg was missing the rocks. The bartender forgot to add ice, so our margita was warm. She gave us a cup of ice to pour in. The marg itself wasn't very strong and tasted pretty syrup-y. Although the chips and salsa only cost us $2.50, I probably could've gone without. I don't think I would've liked them even if they were complimentary. The salsa was decent, but the chips were saltless and flavorless. We ordered two tacos and the arroz con pollo plate. My tacos came out at different times. Both were tiny and disappointing. I had the Hemp Avenue taco and the Sarah Street taco. The black bean juice was everywhere. The tortillas were dry and fell apart. They brought out a quesadilla instead of our arroz con pollo plate. We were confused, but the bartender insisted the order was correct. Then, a few minutes later, the correct plate was brought out. I guess I can't be mad that we scored a free quesadilla. However, it was quite soggy and the cheese was almost a rubbery texture. While we were there, a DJ started playing. The volume of the music went back and forth between increasingly loud and extremely quiet. None of the other staff members acknowledged us whatsoever. It felt like we weren't even there. I hate sounding so pessimistic, so I will say two positive things: their outdoor patio looks like a fun spot in the summer, and I bet this would be a great option if you've been out partying all night and need some food in your belly. Overall a bizarre experience from start to finish!
