The flavor is spot on - the green & red sauce add a good amount of spice to offset the richness of the meat. We also had the street corn which is creamy & delicious. We had a 1/2 lb of Chicherones - they were high quality pork belly - crispy on the edges & fatty in the middle. I prefer the cracklins, but these were delicious. We had 1 other taco entree, but the name escapes me now. I was assured it was also delicious. I definitely recommend this place. Don't think you'll get away cheap from this place because you won't... but I must say it was worth every penny!! The staff is very friendly too. We will definitely go back.

Little ones had a blast on the outdoor play area that families have direct access to their kids out on the patio space. I believe this used to be a daycare that was closed down during the pandemic and the owners then bought it and turned it into a restaurant. Rare to find an exposed playground at a sit down restaurant. A+ for that alone. The mango margarita is refreshing and not too sweet; I enjoyed the happy hour pricing. Fajitas were fine. We would definitely get their tres leches and sopapolllas again! All in all I highly recommend for parents looking for a spot for their kids under the age of five.

Be prepared to walk if you are coming here. The cheese dip was good and my margarita was strong. Our server was very nice and we definitely overloaded him with the amount of things we asked for, but he handled it in stride. The floaters were good and the tortilla soup was great. The guacamole however, was left to be desired. They filled the bottom half of the cup with shredded lettuce and added extra onion on top to make it look fancy so when we mixed everything together, we didn't notice there were already onions in it and that there was lettuce underneath to make it look like there was more in the bold and they're actually was. So the guacamole just tasted like onion and there was hardly any guacamole. It was mostly lettuce covered in guacamole pretty disappointed in that.

The flour tortillas didn't seem like they came out of a bag. I washed it all down with a horchata that was good but maybe missing cinnamon. Final review is this place was good but nothing over the top. I might go back to try something else and see if the menu is consistent.

Our cocktails were all good - and the appetizers were very good. We had the crispy pork belly and the tostaditas with barbacoa. The crispy pork belly was especially delicious and I would order as my own dinner in the future. It comes with onions and sauces and corn tortillas and it's to die for - so crispy and flavorful. We ordered the Bistec enchiladas and they were good but not as good as the appetizers. They give you a variety of sauces when you're seated that you keep throughout the meal - from mild to spicy but I would say the "spicy" is on the mild side. Still good and flavorful but not unapproachable for most ppl. We had the Campechana dessert and it was a little strange. It was basically a vanilla Icecream cake with a crispy waffle cone like layering that was really hard to break until it sat a while. It was oddly addicting but also not that good? I can't explain it. We went to the cigar lounge area after dinner and had Mexican espresso martinis and watched football before heading home. There was little smoke smell but very minimal until it got later. Around 8:30 (on a Saturday night) ppl started smoking cigars and they opened the side windows and being 90degrees right now - it became less enjoyable so we decided to end the night. In the fall that room would probably be quite lovely with the windows open. They have comfortable seating and fire pits. Really more of a 4.5 out of 5.

Its a very nice place as soon as you walking in you can see the cleaness of the restaurant and the smell of fresh chicken being cooked and the best part of all is that you can see them preparing the food on a huge grill!!!!! I like it, the flautas are delicious, and there chicken is good too, they have fresh mexican waters and Mexican Drinks as well as a sortment of Mexican beers and Margaritas as well. But i feel that it is just a little over priced but if you are looking for a place to grab a quick Mexican bite i would definalty recommened it to you. read more

I like this place.. the chicken is grilled fresh and the portions are good. Also the general sides that come with the order always seem pretty fresh... doesn't look like it is straight out of a can... most likely it is.... but it's all about presentation. Overall I think this is a good quick bite and relatively reasonable for the money. I go there every few weeks to satisfy my pollo cravings...mmmm read more

And for some reason for the last few years this particular location is at odds with the city in the county with their liquor license.

Since this is my first time, I kind of wanted to play it safe and try their wings. I got the garlic wings and let me tell you this picture doesn't know justice. One thing I will say about the garlic wings here, is that they are going to be a little bit oily but that's to be expected because it's garlic. You can definitely tell that the chicken was brined prior to being cooked and the garlic just adds that extra touch that turns these wings to a 10 out of 10. The french fries were good but you could definitely tell that they share the same grief with maybe some type of tilapia or some type of fish but I wasn't even worried about that because the taste of the wings were excellent! If you're in Carrollton Texas and you want to try some good wings, I would highly suggest trying this place. They have lots of dishes that showcase Spanish heritage to its fullest!
