    a table full of mexican food
    Chrissy T.

    What a great place! It's located right by my parents house. Parking was easily accessible. Food was great. Large portions for a reasonable price. Chips didn't seem homemade thought but everything else was delicious and flavorful. It was well decorated with Christmas decor. Had a strong Christmas scent throughout the whole place. Very nice staff. Clean bathrooms. Location seems super brand new on the inside still. Overall a fantastic place to visit!

    Best Horchata

    The food was really good. The establishment looked very clean. Horchata was the best one I've had. The shrimp ceviche was also really good and fresh

    Saturday Night we came in had a DJ. Music was loud. Atmosphere reminds me of a chipotle, with just…read moretable and chairs. Bright colors and an area for those who want photo op by restrooms. Restaurant only had one large party and another couple. No wait time. Waitress couldn't hear our order due to loud music. We asked for a Miller Light received a Modelo. Also, asked for double rice no beans and received fries. Asked water with lemon no lemon. That's how loud music was. Drinks: Draft Modelo (fine) Classic Margarita for $11 it was a very small glass and was the worse I ever tasted. Definitely premix margarita. They don't serve traditional tortilla chips with salsa. Serve hard shell tortillas called tostadas with a very little cup of ceviche, green chili sauce and bowl of red salsa. (different but nothing special or outstanding) Appetizer: Calamari nothing outstanding Main Dish: Torta w/ fries (had better) tho price is reasonable Carne Asada asked for double rice received fries. Finally got rice and it was dry like it was from bottom of pot. Asked for skirt steak to be medium it was well. Skirt steak was thick and not tenderized like other restaurants carne asadas. Plate had lettuce and diced tomatoes. Corn tortillas were dry. Steak was good in all even though it is not the way I am use to. Some items on menu are pricey. Plates of food look nothing like pictures online unfortunately. I don't recommend as there are plenty over abundantly other better Mexican Restaurants around the area.

    One word..... Flavor! I lied, second word... Wow! The chips and salsa are fresh and really good…read more Everything is rich with flavor but not over powering. Think upscale Mexican. Very modern taste in decor. Modern Mexican music. A little bland ambiance compared to traditional Mexican restaurants but nice and clean. When we went the service was a bit slow. Very good though and very nice. Just short on staff. Overall very good. A little pricy, but good.

We were in the area taking care of some business and thought we would stop in. So happy we did. The service is super nice. And the food... way yum. There is a small lot for parking.

We were greeted by Niki, it was late morning and we were looking for breakfast and discovered they have an impressive menu. There were other customers in the dining area, which is clean and comfortable. Remembering music--which was kept lower so we could easily talk. Hubby enjoys his 2+2+2, pancakes, eggs, and sausages. I was inspired by the description of the West Coast Benedict (eggs benedict being a favorite). This was arranged attractively on the plate, looked and smelled so good, but didn't look like most benedicts I've received. SOOO good! Arranged on a bed of hash browns filled with delicious ingredients, cheese, bacon, all fresh and so tasty I could eat the whole thing. Oh, and it came with cinnamon toast, which would normally not have been a plus for me, but this was fresh, fragrant, and yummy. Hubby greatly enjoyed his meal also--everything seasoned well. He also got a cup of freshly made coffee--and shared. Niki was obviously happy to be there and a gracious server. Definitely recommend!
