We ordered a little bit of everything: nachos, burritos, tacos and a pitcher of margaritas to wash it all down Everything came out quickly, tasted great and the prices were fantastic. The space itself has a cool, eclectic vibe with a really nice outdoor area, but what really pushed this to five stars for me was the service. Our server kept checking in, everything moved quickly, and the bathrooms were CLEAN Because apparently I need to say it: a restaurant does not have to be expensive or fancy to earn five stars. Give me good food, good value, attentive service and a clean restaurant and I'm happy. Taco Mama understood the assignment Would absolutely come back.

This is a small roadside restaurant, sitting beside a Mexican market. The exterior has bright fun…read moreinviting colors. It reminds me of places I visited in Tijuana when I lived in San Diego. (Before it was so dangerous) At first look I thought it might be a shady place, but it's not- it ended up being a very pleasant experience. Don't let the outside deter you enjoying some very authentic Mexican food. We enjoyed a carne asada burrito, as well as shrimp, steak, pork, and chicken tacos. We enjoyed it all very much!! The salsa was super spicy to me, and they do not serve a medium or mild version. The environment was clean and the service was good. There is plenty of parking - about 20 spots. Enjoy!!

Unique Barria Mexican ramen dish that got 5 stars from my daughter. I had the Carnitas which were good, but perhaps slightly dry. Service was good - not very busy (we went off time around 3:30 about a week after they opened) and food came out relatively quickly. Clean and festively decorated. We will definitely be back and would recommend.

I stop here every time I'm in town…read more I love this place. It's bright and colorful with Mexican music in the background and Mexican TV on the TVs. The staff is always friendly and quick with the hot food. The chips are fresh, thin and crispy. The salsa has just enough spice to let you know it's there. The queso is solid. The blended margaritas are some of the best I've had and only a step below barrel margaritas. I had arroz con pollo and added a side of beans. I ate part of that night and the rest the next day for breakfast. Yum me. I will return, I recommend you do the same if it's been a while since you've been here. If you've never been here, I recommend going.

This was a pretty solid experience…read more Based on what I got in my "fiesta bowl", I can only imagine how killer their tacos must be. Chips and salsa came to the table warm and chilled, respectively. Salsa had awesome flavor and body. The fiesta bowl is essentially a rice bowl but so much better than those two fast food places that make rice bowls. Chicken was grilled, crispy and flavorful. The black beans were good, the queso was good, the avocado slices were good.....and the rice was good!!! The service was friendly but not very attentive, my drink went empty for a bit. The sweet tea was good but I may need to check my A1C after this so sweet tea! Clean and mostly comfortable ambiance. Would definitely come back here to explore more of the menu.
