Here's why we are at four stars, not five: entree selection matters. If you are a big fan of chile relleno, mole enchiladas, creamy chicken enchiladas things are really good.

Instead of trying to resolve the situation, he was argumentative and dismissive, repeatedly insisting there was nothing wrong with the food. I brought the food back to the restaurant so they could see the issue firsthand. The manager kept the dish but refused to issue a refund. The only option he offered was to remake the order as plain cheese enchiladas, which I did not feel was a reasonable solution given my concern about the quality of the original meal. During the interaction, I also asked for a copy of the receipt, and he claimed I never asked for it, which added to the frustration. Overall, this experience felt unprofessional and poorly handled. I left without my food and without a refund. I hope the owner addresses how customer concerns are managed, because this was very disappointing

Shortly after we were seated, our server came by to get our drink order and brought chips and salsa and a bean dip. Everything was so good which made for a really strong start for the meal! My sister in law and I both ordered margaritas. She ordered the Organic margarita and I ordered the Mango Habanero one. I thought my margarita was way too sweet but my sister in law loved hers. For my meal I ordered the three street tacos plate with chicken. This came with rice and charro beans on the side. The charro beans were absolutely BOMB. Probably my favorite part of the whole meal. The chicken in the tacos was also really good. Very juicy and flavorful. Everyone at the table really enjoyed the food. I was surprised to see the negative reviews on here. We had a really positive experience with the food, service, everything! Will definitely come back next time I am in town!

The champagne margarita is very fun; hadn't had anything like that before and bubbly goes with everything! Sampled the skinny margarita too though and as far as classic margs go, that one was the best of the two. The shrimp nachos were fabulous; great option instead of the usual ground beef. And the whole atmosphere is great... like a Mexican diner. Love the inside and the outdoor patio is so inviting. We will definitely be back!

Enchilada burrito oowee was salty greasy ground beef, couldn't finish. Overall menu prices high in comparison.

Don't listen to the bad reviews, this place is awesome! We got there at 6:28, ordered and were out of there at 6:33. The tacos are delicious and huge! The flour tortillas were fresh and soft, not chewy. We will definitely go back! Wish there was a rating higher than 5 stars, I would give it! read more
