Just note, everything that says (beef) is going to be ground beef not steak/ carne asada. My friend did note the quesadilla cheese tasted different. Almost like it was not original mozzarella. Rice and beans were good sides! Overall good prices, we paid $75 for 5 people

Honestly, I was completely unimpressed with this place…read more I ordered a margarita with orange juice and it tasted only like orange juice. I had to send it back and I try not to do that but I couldn't drink it. The queso taco was not good. I ate one and left the other two. There wasn't much cheese. The picture looked good but execution was bad. The rice and beans were good. Service was just okay. The lady tried to seat me in an area by myself. No ma'am. My server was slow. I had to have another person bring me a drink. My server didn't tell me I had to pay at the front. I was sitting there waiting for him to pick up my card and he never returned. Another server had to tell me. I wasn't happy Ambiance is cool.

The restaurant space is clean and would be good for large groups. Grab a margarita and enjoy the large deck. Set off from the road and surrounded by pines you can enjoy the outside space without all the commotion of the city. Our service was fast and friendly. Our food came very quickly, watch out for the plates, hot, hot, hot. I ordered the combination plate: pork tamale, chicken enchilada and beans and rice. Very tasty. The tamale was ridiculous. The portions were more than generous. My son ordered the Burrito Ixtapia. It was giant and he said it was delicious. You won't need to take out a second mortgage to eat here. I was pleasantly surprised to not pay Lake prices. It's a little off the beaten path, and well worth the trip!

Service? Elite. Atmosphere? Exactly what you want when you're trying to actually enjoy your night. Our waiter, Mayo, didn't miss once. Orders were on point, communication was solid, and he actually paid attention--something clearly unheard of down the street. On top of that, he hooked it up with a michelada with the works that was straight up next level. Crazy how one place can completely ruin your night, and another can come through and save it like nothing happened. If you're debating between the two... don't. This is the spot. 10/10 all day.
