Nachos Supreme
Tiffany B.

My friends had been raving about this spot for a while so I was very excited to check it out. The restaurant was so cool and uniquely decorated (I need that tequila floor in my home now lol), the service was great, and the food was good. I ordered the passionfruit margarita which wasn't very passionfruit-y but still good, the quesadilla I ordered was huge but needed a little bit more seasoning/flavor, the rice was delicious, and the fries were okay. The show stopper was definitely the nachos and the chips and salsa were also pretty good. Next time, I'll definitely try something new!

Passion fruit margarita

This place is a SOLID 4 stars ! If you want a typical Mexican dinner where flavors are authentic AND the portion sizes are HUGE-- this place is for you! This is your typical place where you don't want to dress up and feeling like grabbing dinner after a long day at work. Every time I come here the flavors are fresh and perfect. It's definitely NOT Tex-Mex. Be prepared to be greeted happily in Spanish and be serenaded by Mariachi while enjoying chips & salsa on the house ! Still one of the few places that offer this ! Low maintenance - great time The carne asada is always cooked so good too! Their hot sauce (you can ask for) on the side is also soooo delicious!!!

Quesa Fundido

I have been here many times. Service fantastic, prices greatly increased. Had the chicken soup tasty but tiny bowl for $10.99, prices had gone up a lot.

My family and I came in on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was busy and fairly crowded. We were a party of six. Everyone enjoyed their food. Our server was young and very inexperienced but nice. I would give this place a try the food is good and came out hot and fresh. I just feel all the servers are too young and when they are not serving they huddle up near the bar and gossip. My server didn't clear up the dishes after dinner and no refills.

It's been a while since we dined here. They have updated the inside, it's much more brighter with the improved lighting. The food is still really good. You get a good portion size of food. When you sit down you are brought over chips and salsa. The salsa has good flavor, it's a bit on the thinner side for me but still good. Drinks were well made. I asked for a skinny Margarita. It was strong!!! It was also a bit tart but I enjoyed it. Hubby ordered a Michelada. He said it was one of the more flavorful ones he has had. I wanted Birria but they don't have that on the menu so I ordered chicken fajitas. You get a lot!!! Hubby ordered the shrimp quesadilla, it was large and had a lot of shrimp! Food came out quick. It was very busy and the mariachi band was also very good!!

This is "fajitas". Have not ever seen fajitas cut up into little pieces.

Not gonna lie....it was horrible. Worst "Mexican" food we've ever had. See pictures for reference. Totally inedible.

Sangria, chips and salsa, beef enchiladas, refried beans and Mexican rice with tomatillo sauce on the side.

Upon arrival, no hosts were present. Went to the bar, the bartender was speaking with friends so I waited a little bit before she noticed me. While she was friendly, she didn't really speak English which is disappointing when trying to ask questions. The restaurant was pretty clean with nice decor giving a Mexican appeal. The food surprisingly was very good, large portions and flavorful. That would be the only reason I'd return.

Decided to stop in for dinner and we were not disappointed with our choice. The restaurant is so beautifully decorated with different Mexican decor, bright and vibrant. We were immediately greeted as we walked in, we opted to sit at the bar. Bartenders and our server were attentive and helpful. I did order a riunite margarita and it was originally served half full (never seen it done that way), I asked the bartender to fill it up just a little more with frozen which was not an issue. The food was great quality, and the price for everything we got was honestly amazing. We ordered the queso dip for our appetizer, so good. For dinner we ordered quesadilla Cancun (shrimp) and carne asada, everything was so flavorful.

The restaurant has quick service. Our food took about 10-15 minutes to come out. The place looks very festive and authentic. The servers are so nice and very attentive. The menu has tons of different authentic Mexican dishes to choose from. My favorite is the fajitas tapatío. It brings steak, chicken, shrimp, onions and peppers, tortillas, and all the toppings on the side. This is one of our favorite Mexican restaurants to go to!

This place blew us away ! The atmosphere was so nice! It felt like we were back home and the food was next level ! The taste was so authentic ! And the lady waitress was so fluent in Spanish that she was able to communicate with my dad very well and get his order perfectly!! I wish I could've taken food with me on the plane it was so good

Food is very good. Service is OK. There is a little bit language barrier. A lot of space very nice decor.

Read Robert B's review here. He nailed it. Food was very good!! Service was definitely the worst I've experienced in memory...in many years. Wife and I sat at the bar. It's a very long bar with like maybe 15 or 20 chairs. We were the only people and there was one woman bartender. She forgot about us and spent much time on the phone. She forgot our chips. Didn't ask if we wanted beers when we were empty (doesn't She understand how her employer and her get paid?!?) We asked for hot sauce 4x until we got it, finally flagging down another employee. We asked to have the Bills game put on the TV, speaking to her and 4 other employees, following up numerous times. They finally said that the manager said 'NO'. We asked for the wifi password numerous times, and everyone said they didn't have it. We asked them to ask the jefe (boss in Spanish). ...nothing We wound up streaming the game on our phone and paid $30 for data overages. Food was very good!! Service was so piss poor it was embarrassing for me for them (I'm sure they didn't care). Place can't last like this.

Someone told me this place was good , I honestly didn't like it ; I felt like nothing was good. The chilaquiles was nasty, I didn't like their green sauce. I tried their chimichanga and the shredded chicken had no flavor. The best thing I tried was probably ground beef and even that lacked flavor. The ambience was enjoyable the show was better than the food. The guacamole was absolutely terrible and I didn't think it was possible to have terrible guacamole.

We thought we would give this place one more hooray before it closes. This was not the best…read moreexperience this time though. Inside was clean and the typical island vibe, which is why we go. We got there first and got seated. We were waiting for friends. The hostess seemed very confused on where to put us. It was not like they were crazy busy. Then once seated we waited for someone to come and greet us. Sat there for about 15 minutes before the manager came over and asked if anyone welcomed us. We said no and she put in our drinks. Came back with them and our friends arrived and still no waitress. Another 5 minutes or so and she finally came over to take our order. I got the hot honey mango margarita. It was very good. Did have a bit of spice which I liked. And you can never go wrong with a Cuban sandwich. My girlfriend got the Rita flight and coconut shrimp tacos. Both were really good as well. This is the reason for the 3 stars this time. It's a same that this company is closing this restaurant in April. Some are closing for good and some are transitioning into any brand. Fingers crossed the new one is just as good

I've been to this establishment twice, and I've been impressed both times so far. The staff here is…read moreincredibly friendly. Everyone seems very helpful and attentive. I've gotten two dishes here so far, and both were very tasty. The first dish I tried was the Tequila Sunburned Glazed Salmon, which was flavorful, fresh, and delicious. The second time I came, I opted to try just the basic grilled Salmon, which was also equally good. For appetizers, the hits with our dining group are the Beef Empanadas and the Firecracker shrimp.
