First time coming here on our way back from Herkimer, New York…read more Jose was our server and he was amazing. We saw a sign on the door that if you danced your way to your table, you got something free... So we danced! We got a free taco and a free shot! We started off with the patron tree and ordered mango, peach, raspberry, and strawberry. We opted for on the rocks versus frozen. All of them were very good not overly sweet. For apps, we got chips and homemade salsa with the diablito queso (jalapeños) We ordered the Birria tacos, and the three taco combination with Carnitas and tacos al Pastor. There's a cute little photo station and a chill bar set up.

On our second visit, we asked for napkins 3 times, and the server said sure and just never came back with them. Without any explanation our server was changed out mid meal with another, and she was much better. Immediately had our empty waters filled and asked if we were ready for another round of drinks. The contrast was adult identifiable. Food here is good and comes out fast and piping hot. Service needs some tuning and it wasn't slammed during both of my visits. They seem ti have plenty of servers and help on duty, but they all seem running around but not doing what is needed to tend to the tables/guests. I will go back and again, the food is good and value/price for portion and quality very reasonable.

She usually leaves a significant portion of food to bring home as leftovers later. She said that her dish was excellent. I had the enchilada supreme. Four enchiladas, one each of cheese, bean, chicken, beef. It was very tasty. Free fried tortilla chips and sauce for the table. Fountain drinks, the standard price, and free refills. A pretty standard straightforward family restaurant. I enjoyed the food, the service was very good, and the ambience was nice This place is tucked away in a corner of the Delmar plaza.

The food is consistently delicious, and the portions are generous. This is the kind of local restaurant worth cherishing and supporting.

Her chicken and cheese quesadilla was also delicious. My wife and I shared some of the best tamales we've ever had! So fresh and vibrant, chicken with green salsa. My wife enjoyed three tacos and the sangria. I absolutely loved their pozole with mole sauce! The hominy was perfectly cooked. Their fresh Tamarindo juice was also delicious! Truly an awesome lunch!

But trust me when I say every flavor was on point. We argued about who's driving home so the other can sleep. Thank you for an amazing date night filled with good food, good vibes, great service and amazing food.

Upon arrival you'll receive complimentary chips and salsa. It was fresh as the chips were warm and I could taste the fresh ingredients in the salsa. We ordered the carne asada and the Baja tacos (and the enchiladas verdes to go based on hot good the food was). The carne asada was fantastic, and it came with rice, beans, and tortillas. The Baja tacos were delicious and came with a super spicy sauce (they did have a lot of onions which was my only drawback). We ended the night with a special strawberry tres leches for Valentine's Day. It's not something I would have typically ordered but I do love tres leches and this did not disappoint - it was amazing. All in all excellent food you'll be glad you came for the food! A few other notes- the inside of the restaurant is pretty and draws on what I've seen in other Mexican restaurants. Staff were so friendly and had the perfect balance of checking in with us to letting us eat our meal. There is a small bar area that is separate from the dining area. Street parking only but there seemed to be plenty of spots. However, I would try to park as close as possible to the restaurant as the neighborhood itself didn't seem like the greatest. We had no issues during our experience but just something to consider. Overall I really liked this place and will definitely return!

It can get a little bit loud, especially during musical performances or trivia night. There are two sides to the restaurant one is more of a dining room and the other is the bar. I find myself more comfortable in the bar area most of the time. They also have outdoor seating during the summer and warmer weather. The bartenders are friendly and very capable. The weighted staff has all been very sweet. The food is solid and good and filling. I'd like to especially call out the fries and burgers. The wings I just had were a little bit dry but still very good. (I wasn't aware that it was a dry rub.) I'll be back again! And next time I promise I'll take some pictures.
