Upon arrival we were quickly seated because we picked our own table. Waitress came by and then had…read moreto head back for a notepad and pencil. We asked to start with two waters with chips and queso. After a few minutes glasses of ice arrived but no water, and the server left as soon as she put the glasses down. So we waited for the water, which never materialized and waited some more and finally asked the table next to use if we are to get our own water and they said yes we need to go to the cooler to get the water where we were met by our waitress asking what type of water, so we decided instead for a Diet Pepsi 2 liter bottle. After getting back to the table we waited a few more minutes for the chips and queso which were ok, but could have been better presented. The queso was cold and the chips were sparse and the chips so large they would not fit into the ramekin to dip into the sauce. We ended up having 1/2 a ramekin of sauce leftover and asked for a few more chips and the table next to us said we may have to pay extra and we later found out that it is extra. That also shed light on the communication barrier as I asked for a few extra chips and she brought an entire new order that was extra in cost. That ended up going back and forth as to keeping it or turning it away and at the last second she turned to go back to the kitchen and the older gentleman who was bussing tables reached in to grab a chip to snack on. I'm so glad those chips were not brought back to us. lol. The bus guy did go get us a pizza trivet for our Mexican Taco Pizza which was delivered shortly with its own communication issues. My wife asked for sour cream and was told she would bring it on the side with the pizza. We ordered a medium 14" and the server repeated - large 16" and we said no, 14" medium, and that went back and forth 2 more times. We were never told what the topping were with the beef and sausage we ordered as we fumbled around the menu asking what else was on the pizza and finally figured it out with the broken communication and menu dynamics. The server said we'd get sauce on the side in a bottle like the other table so we said that would be nice. The side of sauce never arrived, but for some reason a second sour cream was brought out. No idea why and we were questioned as to who asked for it and neither of us had done so but she left it without charging us. She did offer to get us plates and silverware which she brought right out. Overall, we felt as if we were interrupting her phone time, including the customers next to us who were waiting a good bit of time for a To Go churro only to find out is was at the front desk To Go area but they were never told it was there or how to get it. The server came back once to check on us and it was not until she saw I was looking her way as she was coming out of the kitchen that she headed to the table. I asked for a box, to which she asked how many pieces, which confused me until she came over to the table to count the number of slices we had left. This is the first time I've ever been asked how many slices were left to coincide with a box to take home leftovers. Overall, the pizza was the shinning star! Absolutely amazing, and yes we asked for the 14" but were brought the 16" for $3 more. The chips and queso - meh, needs a better presentation and more chips with a hot queso and the service, well, you may do better to serve yourself if at all possible. Why you may ask, well when we asked for the bill the server brought it to use but never showed us, again communication breakdown of paying at the table or register and we went up to the register because she took the bill with her. She never showed us the bill just punches up the numbers on the screen and my wife had to ask again to see the bill and the waitress took it from the stack she placed on the metal spike that held others. This was our first time eating here, and there was no real form of communication to assist us in getting around. How about starting off with, " Have you all dined with us before", then go into helping with the layout. Pizza A+ Drinks C- Chips and Queso C Service D- Cleanliness of Dining Room A Bathroom - B+ Communication F Will be back for take out pizza as the chef in the kitchen was the saving grace with his pizza expertise! Made and cooked to perfection!

The gorgeous decor pays homage to the Monarch butterfly which holds Such significance for the Mexican culture. Then comes the food wow; so much authenticity and savory flavors. Presentation of the food is perfection and nowhere have I seen four tacos (usual standard is 3 and it's never enough)! Four tacos is perfect! The addition of fresh veggies with the addition of carrots was so unique and really breaks up the flavors which make the tacos even better with each bite! In my varied experience in California and the southwest never have I seen corn quesadillas on the menu!! My son loved them and I cannot wait to come back and try them for myself.
