The shrimp dip with the tortilla chips was delicious. I ordered the Quesabirria, which was tasty, but I expected it to be more like a cheesy quesadilla. Unfortunately, it didn't come with cheese. The dipping sauce that came with it was very good, though. We also had the Shrimp Fajitas, which were flavorful as well. The restaurant has a family-oriented atmosphere with a mix of all ages. A downside was that the bench behind us was broken, so whenever the people behind us moved, our seat shifted too. The staff was kind, and overall I would recommend this place if you enjoy Mexican food.

I didn't have much, but the table chips & salsa was good. We ended up sharing a pitcher of Cadillac Margarita ($63) and regular Mango Margarita ($50) since we were all getting marg's anyway. These were all more than enough to share between 4 people. The Mango was good, the Cadillac was strong! I ordered Shrimp Tacos ($16). I don't think they were on the menu, but they were provided. 3 Tacos with salsa, guacamole & lettuce on the side. It always came with a bowl of brown beans and yellow rice. Good. I was full after 1 taco. When it's someone's birthday, the staff comes out in almost like a full band. It was cute. We were all able to pay on separate checks. I and myself took on the full responsibility of purchasing the marg's for the group. Not sure if it was due to the size of our party, but gratuity was automatically added at 18% to my check.

It's a hole in the wall! But hole in the walls are sometimes gems! I was the only female customer at 6ish. Quite a few men in the restaurant. The ladies working there are super nice, and attentive. Let's Get Into It! Cheese Enchilada - Met expectations. The chili sauce is not spicy and they made that enchilada cheesy! Fajitas- Met expectations. I have had better fajitas honestly but these weren't bad. Price point: Very Inexpensive for the amount of food! Overall, the place is decent. It has a El Salvadoran menu and Mexican menu, which for me I'm not a fan of. The Mexican dishes were okay but their tortillas were more thick and El Salvadoran style. I wouldn't return as the food was just okay for my liking. There were loud men singing at the top of their lungs like they were on the Latin Voice and that was off putting. I get it, they are having fun, but it wasn't karaoke night and was disturbing. I left after two songs of the man singing, thankfully I was already done. Definitely worth a try though for others.

We'd ordered it all again- we're stuffed and super happy. We can't wait until they get their alcohol license to go for dinner and drinks!
