My 9 year old said "well, I guess the only thing that was good was the drinks". I had regular soft shell tacos, and they weren't very good either. Gave a 2 star instead of 1 star because the waitress was very nice. Would not recommend.

I don't know what they're doing back there, but it's insanely juicy every single time. Never dry, always seasoned right. The horchata is also solid and worth adding. Pro tip: go on Tuesdays or Fridays--they run specials and it's the perfect excuse to try even more. This spot is lowkey a gem.

We tried something different for lunch last week, and somehow the Happy Plates turned into our work…read moregroup's new obsession. Different people from our group have gone back four days in a row, some even returning with their families. I ordered the Shrimp Happy Plate, which is around $20. The shrimp were seasoned extremely well, juicy, and not dried out at all. The rice was cooked perfectly with no hard pieces, and they were definitely NOT shy with the queso. There was plenty throughout the plate, which brought everything together. One tip: If you want onions and bell peppers, make sure you ask to have them added. I absolutely recommend it. Ours were cooked down perfectly with no crunch and paired really well with the shrimp, rice, and queso. We also tried the Trio Happy Plate. The chicken and steak were both tender, and all of the proteins were well seasoned. The portions are generous too. You may look at the plate and think you can split it, but don't make that plan. Once you start eating, you will probably want the whole thing. This has also been a great option for a workday lunch. On our latest visit, we ordered pretty much as soon as we sat down and had warm food in front of us in about 15 minutes. You also get complimentary chips, salsa, and beans while you wait, and the drinks have always tasted fresh. The service deserves recognition as well. The manager is lovely and makes a point to stop by and check on our experience every time we visit. It's a small touch, but after multiple visits, that consistency stands out. The restaurant itself makes a great first impression. The decor is beautiful, it smells amazing when you walk through the door, and everything has been clean during our visits, including the bathrooms. They even have mints available on your way out. And PLEASE get the churros. They were fresh, warm, topped with ice cream, and next level. One visit ours came with strawberry syrup and another time with caramel. Both were delicious. Between the flavor, portions, quick lunch service, cleanliness, and consistently good experiences, this one has officially earned a spot in our lunch rotation.

I had a few micheladas, ceviche, tacos de tripas and chorizo flameado and it was all pretty decent. Ceviche tasted fresh, tripas were cooked well and you can't go wrong with chorizo flameado.

It is a spicy fresh salsa which I LOVE. By looking at the restaurant's interior and environment you just know the food will be fresh, authentic, and hitting. I will say, I wouldn't really recommend getting the chicken flauta because I found it dry but it was still good! The nachos is THEE STAR of the show. Huge portion for only $8.99 and it is made with fresh fried chips and layers of cheese, meat, and toppings on it. So delicious! I had my friend's quesadilla and it was great. Taco was packed with SO much flavor. The server was kind and sweet. I recommend this place to everyone! Loaded nachos and banging food, we love!

Pro tip: we're here to enjoy the food AND the restaurant, otherwise we would have gotten it to go. Slow down, appreciate your guests, and I'm certain it will be reflected in the diners' gratitude. The food was really good. I got the brisket tacos. I asked if the BBQ sauce was on the side, and it was, but it was also mixed into the brisket. It wasn't bad, just not what what I was expecting. Three tacos, rice and beans, all led to a full belly and a smiling face. I asked for a spicy sauce...and got it. Nice work, y'all, that actually had me sweating a little, a sure sign it's my jam. I know Jen really likes it, too, she raves about it all the time (we can thank her enthusiasm for the 5th star, you guys). Otherwise, being rushed the way we were was a little off-putting, but the brisket made up for it in a big way. ;)

Your response is uncalled for. And thanks for showing your true colors when the bartender tried to…read moreget you to address the roach issue when we were there but now here you are looking your business look bad and be keyboard warrior. Let me address everything. Yes we made a video because we initially wanted to post a positive review. My husband saw that they had fresh tortillas so he wanted to try them. Nobody had 4 margaritas I ordered one "top shelf" margarita and it was awful. I asked for grand mariner because it was green I was told you all didn't have any. So idk how I got a top shelf if you all didn't have any and that was listed as one of the ingredients in it. Yes we ordered more tortillas? This is your restaurant and you are mad we ordered more of something? My husband was eating that second order when the little roach decided to make its appearance walking across the bar right near us and the lady that said she has been going to your business for 5 years also saw the roach and she started getting loud and obnoxious with the bartender telling him to get you and he said he was trying to I guess turns out you were trying to avoid the situation. Anyway I felt bad for the bartender and told my husband just to pay so we could leave and then I guess you decided to make an appearance and no apology no nothing just oh yeah we sprayed so that must be it. You walk away we are giving the bartender the card and the lady is getting louder telling him not to run the card for him to get you to Comp the food but I guess you figured it was better if you just comped the ONE MARGARITA AND ONE BEER!!! You could have just addressed the situation differently and we wouldn't have even posted anything

We came on a Sunday, and I got a delicious brunch!…read more The restaurant wasn't busy for an early lunch, so we got seated right away. Immediately upon walking in, I loved all of the colors and the vibes of this Mexican restaurant. When you sit down, they bring chips and salsa to your table. I wasn't a huge fan of the salsa or the chips. The chips had some seasoning on them and to me, it didn't mix well with the salsa. The salsa was really thin, and I prefer a chunky salsa with a salted thick chip lol. I was feeling adventurous and got the French toast on the brunch menu. It was delicious! The berry compote and the two different syrups paired really well with it. The bacon that it came with was perfection. I ate every last bite. I did have a bite of my friends tacos, and they were good but on smaller side in my opinion. Our waitress was great and there were plenty of tvs to watch while we waited. But, we never waited long for anything!

We came in from Texas ready for margaritas and tacos. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill…read morepretty quickly. First, we were told shortly after arriving that we would have to leave in an hour and a half. Nothing says "welcome, enjoy your dinner" quite like starting the meal with a countdown clock. I will give them this: the margaritas come in a to-go cup, which I actually thought was a great idea. Unfortunately, the margarita itself was HORRIBLE. It tasted like I was sucking on a salt block. I tried to send it back, but instead of simply replacing it, our waiter argued with me about why it tasted salty. He insisted it was because there was salt on the rim and some of it must have fallen into the bottom of the cup. I watched how they salted the rim, so that explanation made absolutely no sense. Since we were apparently dining against the clock, I finally gave up arguing and said I'd try another one without salt on the rim. Plot twist: still tasted like a salt block. The chips and salsa weren't bad but nothing to note either, so there's that. The portobello mushroom taco, however, left a LOT to be desired. The cheese was scorched onto the tortilla, and the mushrooms were seared into crunchy little bits. I genuinely did not know mushrooms could achieve that level of crunch until today. Someone in our party ordered the Pollo de Mar dinner, which was overpriced and, unfortunately, just as disappointing. Between the unnecessary time limit, the waiter arguing with me over a drink I clearly didn't like, the salt-lick margaritas, scorched tacos, and overpriced food, this was definitely not the experience we were expecting. The to-go margarita cup was probably the highlight. Unfortunately, I didn't want to take the margarita anywhere and threw it away.
