We went in the middle of the week but food was hot and fresh to order. Top notch if not the best carne asada I have had that comes close to homemade mexican food, doesn't matter if it's in a burrito, tacos, etc. Margaritas had the perfect balance of flavors, size, and price. Definitely recommend to anyone who knows and has high expectations on authentic Mexican food.

What happened? Order 90 bucks worth of food that I showed up for 20 min later as told to. Still…read morewaited a Most 15 min ( this was after 2 pm. No crowd.

REALLY should have taken a pic to PROVE it. in today's economy where having lunch once a month is a luxury for a disabled honorably discharged Senior Citizen Veteran, I'm disappointed.

Very heavy on the onions and light on the beef. Rice and beans weren't any fabulous. Pricing was high for the experience- cost as similar to other local sit down places - but here it's like fast food-you are ordering and picking up at the counter yourself and no chips or salsa are included. Order was ready fast. Will return for the birria tacos

When I walk into a restaurant and it looks like that, I already know the food is 9/ 10 going to be tasty and authentic.And that's exactly what it was.the service was amazing and all the staff was very helpful. I loved that the margaritas were from scratch and not premixed so that was great. The food was really good and tasted very authentic. Very well lit and nice decorations.

They first served a large skillet completely covered in meat ranging from chicken, pulled pork, grilled pork, steak, shrimp, and some vegetables like bell peppers and onions. Then they brought us each a plate of rice, beans, lettuce, guacamole, and sour cream. The proteins were on the saltier side but worked well with the sides. Service: 5/5 - extremely friendly gentleman that took our order. Everyone that we encountered was friendly even though there were slight language barrier. Ambiance: 5/5 - cozy spot that is covered with colorful decoration. The table is covered with ads from different places but it sort of fits with the theme of everything there. Value for price: 5/5 - we were pleasantly surprised that the meal was just over $35 before tip! We had enough leftovers for almost another full meal.

Prepare for greatness. The chips were served warm and the salsa cold. They serve beer! A great way to wash down your meal. The hubs said his chili verde was among the best he's ever had (worth finishing with a Tums). It definitely tasted like it was made from scratch. I loved the shrimp chipotle. So many shrimp! So much fiery spice! The perfectly seasoned rice, sour cream and guac cooled things down (and the beer helped). Oh, that guacamole? Spring for the appetizer of it--chunky with just the right amount of onions--so good. It wasn't the best part (because the food was so good) but the check was mighty nice. I felt bad paying so little for this meal.
