We stopped by around 3 p.m. on a Wednesday and sat at the bar. It wasn't too busy, which made for a relaxing experience. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. For food, we ordered the fish ceviche, taquitos dorados, and the birria tacos. They definitely don't skimp on the portions. Everything is generously sized and perfect for sharing. I especially loved the salsa that came with the taquitos dorados, and the birria was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The birria tacos and taquito dorados were easily my favorite and something I'd absolutely order again. Of course, I had to try a few of their margaritas! I sampled the Classic Felipe, Jamaica, and Guava margaritas. The guava margarita was hands down my favorite. Overall, it's a great spot with delicious food, refreshing drinks, generous portions, and excellent happy hour deals. Be sure to check out their happy hour menu, you won't be disappointed!

Portions are not skimp at all and prices were reasonable! My favorite was the shrimp ceviche. I hate to brag, but my ceviche is the best. And tbh, Felipe's is almost as good as mine! Hehehe. Very fresh ingredients with generous portion of shrimp. This was my favorite item we ordered! Tacolgado were mini quesabirria tacos that was perfectly sized to share. This was really good! Then we also ordered the chicken flautas that was really good! The chicken breast was perfectly seasoned and moist but the fried tortilla was not soggy at all. This was so good! The kids enjoyed this the most. Especially the cotija !! So so good. Wednesdays are 50% off their margaritas which I wasn't able to try but next time, I will! The ladies next to us ordered a few and I overheard how they were all good! The restaurant is family friendly, clean and decor was very cute! Service was very attentive and the servers were very quick. We enjoyed our 1st time and definitely plan to come back!

It was the best chimichanga I've ever had. Thankfully, there were no bell peppers or onions, which is usually mixed in with the meat. It was strictly cheese and great tasting beef, which was a winner! The black bean puree was simply delicious. I would ask for all beans next time as I don't prefer rice. They have some unique items on their menu, including a bone marrow burger, and many different steak and chicken plates. They also have a meat market next door as well, and I can't wait to come back both to the restaurant and to check out the meat market. See you soon!

Apart from my mothers cooking this is the first time I enjoyed chilaquiles outside of my house. The burrito my boyfriend had was humongous and well packed with all the goodness of the tender meat. The cafecito was also super tasty and not too sweet which was my main worry since so many other places have too much sugar. Same with the matcha one but so balanced with the mazapán that it didn't leave you with the empalagoso taste food so good, staff super friendly,attentive, and patient (since it was my first time here) good environment and energy Overall a really nice experience!

Most of the customers are male construction workers, and as women, we have sometimes hesitated to come because it often feels as though the staff prioritizes the men while other customers are left waiting. Today, I came with my husband because he also enjoys the food. We were impressed by the beautiful remodel and expansion--the map of Mexico used in the décor is especially lovely. A young woman told us we could sit wherever we wanted, so we chose a table. We waited for more than 15 minutes, but no one came over to greet us, offer menus, or take our order. Meanwhile, the employees continued attending to several men nearby without acknowledging us. This was not the first time we experienced a long wait here. The food may be good, but customer service should be welcoming and attentive to everyone, including women, couples, and families--not only the regular male clientele. We did not have an hour to spend waiting just to be acknowledged, so we decided to leave and go somewhere else where the service was prompt and the food was equally delicious. I sincerely hope management sees this as an opportunity to improve because the newly remodeled restaurant is beautiful and the food has great potential, but the quality of the service needs to match it.

We've always gotten the same thing: grilled chicken nachos and the Alex Burrito with chicken. It's a simple order but it's always delicious.

The directions on Yelp were inaccurate by at least half a mile. While we got lost for a bit, we ended up finding the spot. The owners were incredibly nice and hospitable. I ended up getting one Al Pastor taco while my friends tried the Asada and chicken. While we loved all of the proteins, the Al Pastor was the showstopper. When we sat down in the main dining room, one of my friends wanted to get some chips and salsa, and they had an incredible salsa bar. It turned out that the chips were complementary and made in house along with the tortillas. The tables were clean and the dining room was inviting. The owners came to check on us throughout our meal. If you're looking for a delicious, quick, and affordable meal, you do not want to pass on this place. The salsa alone will have you coming back to the salsa bar.
