    Sopa Del Mar with fresh accompaniments

    The staff was super kind and friendly, very personable and quick with a joke or a refill :-) the art on the walls was beautiful, so stunning that I was tempted to ask them if they knew the artist or sold the pieces. The food was so delicious. I ordered the sopa del Mar. I was expecting a little cup of seafood chowder, but what I got was a full fillet of tilapia, multiple shrimp and a beautiful array of fresh vegetables in the most delicious broth. But wait there's more! It came with tortillas, freshly chopped cilantro, a fresh avocado with chilies and chopped onions so that I could have the soup and also a side of fish tacos as well. I don't normally post reviews, but this was simply delicious. I made my husband taste multiple bites so that he could experience the yummy. Goodness that I got with this meal. Super great place we will definitely be back!

    "Authentic tacos" top-bottom: carnitas (perfection), al pastor (too seasoned for me), steak (very tender), chicken (fajita style)

    Still our fav Mexican place. Authentic tacos remain outstanding - in resturant or take out. (Today = take out & some pics from 2 yrs ago dining in). Inside the authentic tacos; the seasoning is always spot on, steak is always tender compared to other places; carnitas are mouth-watering. Only negative is some days we don't order because the price changes depending on the day. Some variation across chefs - 1x overcooked.

    Quick bite to eat!

    This is the third visit and authentic tacos were so tasty! The service was outstanding a very attentive server food was piping hot and tasted like it had been made with care! Time to try some flan!

    We love this restaurant! The outside seating is great and the service is always amazing. On our last trip I got the shrimp enchiladas that were incredible but any food I have had here has been so good! We definitely recommend!!

    Said omlet with chile inside.

    I am not a fan of having green beans, peas, carrots, and corn in mexican rice. Wild. Chile Relleno is basically a chile in an omelet, another shocker. Never coming back.

    guac is good!

    I found it to be your typical mexican restaurant in the area. Staff was friendly, service was good. Hubs got the chimichangas and I got the enchilada plate. Everything was "good" just not "wow." The guacamole was probably the shining star of the night. But I did not care for the chips at all.

    What a Diamond in the rough! Not that independence is a rough spot but it's kinda deep into the farm country kinda! Any way the service is phenomenal! The food was fantastic and it's in a very clean and fun atmosphere! Even the bathrooms were super clean and had a good smell to them lol. Loved the chips and salsa! And my our dinners were great! We loved chatting with our server and he was very cool and friendly and helpful with the menu when we told him it was our first time there! We loved our other Mexican restaurant but we will switch to this place for as long as they keep up the excellent work!

    Food and drinks are delicious and service is always nice. I just docked a star because it can get a little pricey if you're not careful.

    The food is okay but the margaritas are TERRIBLE! I think they water down the tequila. Won't be back.
