Base my reviews off what you pay:…read more *Place was pretty empty. Went at 7PM on a Thursday. Price - $80 (1 appetizer, 2 entrees, tip) Food - 4/5 - good taste for price. Service - 3/5 - fine and on par. Ambiance - 3/5 - nice outside but nothing crazy. Overall - 3/5 - good spot for food. Ordered the guac and Shrimp Tacos and they both were good. The tacos were pretty killer, would come back for those alone. Service was fine, nothing to note. Outside of the restaurant is nice, bright colors and nice but inside is whatever. Good spot for food, hit the spot, would return. Best Dish - Camarones Tacos Would Return - Definitely

We were greeted promptly by our server who was very courteous. He took our drink order promptly and we ordered the appetizer of chips and guacamole. They bring out chips and salsa for every table. We ordered the iron skillet the Birria, chicken tacos, and a Besito bowl. The Besito bowl with steak was absolutely delicious. I tried Birria for the first time and it was very tasty. The iron skillets came with tortillas on the side so you can make your own soft tacos and my kids said that they enjoyed it, but it wasn't anything phenomenal. We asked them to remove the chorizo, but both of the iron skillet came out with chorizo. They did immediately take them back and deliver them promptly, leads me to believe they just simply removed the chorizo and sent it back out. Overall, it was a good experience, if I ever am craving Mexican food I would visit. The only reason I took one star away is the guacamole was $16 and it was a really small amount for that price. Also, because I told the waiter several times that we do not eat any pork and specified that we do not want the chorizo. The ambience of the restaurant is nice, it is on the smaller side, small and intimate.

Warm chips and a tangy salsa arrived with glasses of ice water. We ordered main courses without appetizers because we wanted to save room for dessert. Service was quick but never rushed. My enchiladas mole were VERY good, probably the best I have ever had. The seasoning was spot on, and the accompanying rice and refried beans were prepared with as much care as the entree...excellent! My wife enjoyed her version of enchiladas, served with red sauce and black beans, just as much. The fresh lemonade and horchata were tasty and an excellent meal accompaniment. My wife ordered the flan for dessert and I chose sopapillas with ice cream. The flan was creamy and the sopapillas were sweet and cinnamon infused; both were perfect endings to a fantastic meal. Plan to stop in soon at this wonderful family run restaurant; you won't be disappointed!

I've ordered the chicken…read moremole on multiple visits, and each time the server has thoughtfully asked whether I've had mole before. Given that it can be an acquired taste, I appreciated that level of awareness and care from the staff. I do wish that same attentiveness had extended to the rest of our table. One person in our party received the wrong protein in her entrée. I mentioned it to the server, but when the guest (a mortified teenager) politely said it was "fine," the issue wasn't pursued further. Considering the price point and the high standard of excellence the restaurant appears to aim for, it was disappointing that the mistake wasn't proactively addressed. Overall, we had a good experience and will return. I share this only in the spirit of appreciation and hope that this feedback is used as an opportunity to encourage servers to ensure every diner leaves completely satisfied, and helps an already wonderful place be even better.

If you save room for dessert, you HAVE to try the banana pudding. Drinks are tasty and the cocktail menu is pretty extensive, but the pours are on the smaller side. As far as service goes, everyone here was wonderful but a little slow... our dinner for 2 took us almost 2 hours... lastly, remember it IS a high end Mexican restaurant, both in quality and price.

Parking is free and convenient (for anyone unfamiliar with the area) The restaurant is family owned, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The inside is super cute, and caters to groups 2-4/ 4-6, possibly more if you can push some tables together, overall, pretty spacious. We each ordered the Taco Salad. Mine with steak and the other with chicken. It was DELICIOUS, just so flavorful. The portions were pretty decent, so much so, that I got the other half of mine in a to-go container. They have an array of options for drinks, but of course how could I not have ordered a Jarritos?! I will most definitely return here, especially because on my way out, I saw that Birria Tacos were added to their menu. Based on the quality of the food I had that day, I have no doubt those will be just as good
