The gorgeous hand-painted murals throughout the restaurant create an authentic and inviting dining experience. We enjoyed the Tacorito special, which arrived hot and was absolutely delicious. My partner ordered the four Verde Enchiladas, and while they had a pleasant tanginess, they were packed with good flavor. Located just up the street from Niagara Falls, this restaurant is a perfect stop after a day of sightseeing. We were in Canada celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary, and the staff made our afternoon extra special. They surprised us with delicious sangria and a personally signed anniversary card--a thoughtful gesture that meant so much to us. The outstanding food, beautiful ambiance, and genuine hospitality made this the perfect ending to our day in Canada. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the Niagara Falls area.

I came across this place through Yelp, and thought we should give it a try as their reviews looked good. So glad we came here! The workers were nice! The inside was although was on the smaller side, had plenty of seating as well seating outside with I believe 2 or 3 picnic tables. We ordered: 3 Birria Tacos- this was our favourite. The inside was filled with lots of meat and the consome was refreshing. 3 traditional taco (fish, chicken and pork)- pie favourite was the pork. They were filled generously and had lots of flavour. This is definitely worth the drive even if you live far out.

Chicken fajitas for two please. Compared to jacks, pricing a little more expensive. We had to ask for additional "fixings" as what was served was a little thin in portions except the cheese. Amount of chicken and peppers etc was perfect. Service friendly, however not up to jacks. Little things like do they keep your soft drink glass full without having to wave them down didn't happen. Place was not overly busy but server always had to be waved down if required. If the server was a more attentive and the "fixins" a little more generous I would have been inclined more to a 4. But with, at least this server which I know can be a one off, little thin on some portions, and pricing higher than jacks, I'm sticking to a three. The interior was nicely decorated and looked clean.

I feel bad because the waiter was nice enough, but honestly, this was ridiculous and unacceptable. We did arrive closer to the end of the night (7:30, and they close at 9). BUT, we've been here many times before, and the service has never been this bad, especially considering there were almost no other customers. The other tables cleared out shortly after we arrived. It was just us, and one other table that came in after we did. We sat there and watched their food came out, then they were finishing up, ready to leave, but there we sat - with nothing. They had two different employees checking on them the entire time (they were only a party of 3 and we were 2). We didn't see our waiter. We ordered apps and entrees, and already finished our salads. We were just sitting there wondering what was going on. After we FINALLY got our entrees, the waiter drops the appetizers on the table and repeats that he "doesn't know what happened in the kitchen." We honestly didn't want the apps anymore. For whatever reason, I didn't want to say anything and I told my husband not to say anything either. He wanted to refuse the apps rather than take them home because we weren't able to have a proper dining experience and nothing is the same leftover. I guess he had a point. The waiter disappeared again after bringing the food. My husband did end up complaining when he finally came back around. We were offered dessert, which we declined. Was that going to take another 30 minutes while he disappeared again? No thanks. We were clearly irritated and wanted to leave so we asked for the bill (which also took some time). I don't know what had us sitting there for almost two hours, because it was about 9:00 (closing time) by the time our food was finally brought out. We were the only customers after a certain point. All of the employees were hanging out around the bar. I'm sure they were tapping their feet waiting for us to leave, but they certainly weren't doing anything to get us our food, and get us out. I'm not even sure why we waited that long. We should've just called it, paid for our drinks, and left.

They also had World Cup games playing on a few of the TVs, so if you're looking for good food and good soccer, you're covered. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and the food is consistently outstanding. The chips and salsa are always fresh, the guacamole is always on point, even for someone like me who generally doesn't eat it much, and the carne asada tacos are the real deal, served with fresh pico and a solid side of rice and beans. If you're in the Niagara Falls area and want a great Mexican meal with genuine hospitality, give this place a shot.
