    Enchiladas verdes
    Kyle M.

    Update: the food is still excellent, but they have two different music systems playing and it's very disconcerting. If this sort of thing bothers you, maybe order delivery.

    Prepackaged, premade and reheated chicken enchiladas, with refried beans and their version of Spanish rice
    Forest J.

    First of all, this place has a really nice atmosphere, service was good and food was decently priced. However, the chicken enchiladas do not taste homemade, they taste something akin to the El Fenix chicken enchiladas you buy at the grocery store. They have the same texture, almost the same flavor, and all you have to do is just heat them up. These chicken enchiladas are relatively uniform, have a uniform taste, and texture. Which would lead any reasonable person to believe they were pre-made and simply reheated to serve to customers. The refried beans have a neutral flavor, they're not bad but they are not that great. This Spanish / Mexican rice needs a little more seasoning but it was pretty decent. All in all the entree was edible and it tasted fine overall. Would I recommend this place for one of my top five favorites? No, they will need to drastically change the flavor profiles of their cuisine as well as start making it from scratch. The ceviche on the other hand was very flavorful, the use of half a sliced avocado as decoration or part thereof, was a really great idea because it lended to the flavor profile overall and also visually appealing. All in all I say give this place a chance, but do not go in expecting scratch kitchen flavor or visual appeal. I'm giving this three stars based on atmosphere, service and overall presentation. Scratch kitchen or homestyle flavor is rather lacking in my opinion, and use of precooked packaged processed enchiladas is a definite one star deduction. Don't get me wrong I love Mexican food, I even make chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce at home, as well as cheese enchiladas with onions, but all are made from scratch. I have regrettably had the store-bought prepared enchiladas, and they have the precise same flavor and visual profile as what we were served in the restaurant.

    Had a date night with friends. Cute little spot. Not very busy. Waitress super attentive and nice! Drinks were ok. Something was off. Food wasn't great, lacked flavor. Hubby's meat was very fatty. Maybe it was an off night. Willing to give it another go maybe...

    Love this place! The food is great, the atmosphere is awesome, but most of all.... The staff are amazing. We try to eat local when we go out, and this has become one of our favorite Sunnyvale restaurants! This place should be packed out every night, but right now the vide is chill and it's somewhat still an undiscovered restaurant in town. Recommend the following: - brisket tacos - queso - fajitas - elottes - Margarita - and all the food I have tried

    Corn and brisket taco
    Rijena J.

    OMG! When I tell you the corn is the bomb... it is!!! The tacos are delish too! You guys must try!

    Chicken quesadilla
    Alberto D.

    Nice place to hit up if your in Dallas TX. Atmosphere is good. Margaritas are good. Food is delicious. My quesadilla had cheese all the way around not like most places that forgetbabout the edges. And the customer service is on point. Friendly staff.

    Taco plate
    Alexis M.

    I got the taco plate with 3 different taco meats and it was so so tasty! When you are seated you get a little cup of bean soup which is super tasty! I will say they don't have a soda machine so they only have bottled water and canned sodas but they do have Mexican sodas so that awesome! Chips and queso and salsa and GUAC was very delicious! The atmosphere is so pretty and inviting!

    Taco plate, all 3 had to be the same meat. Plate looks full but it's a small plate and small portions.
    Teresa L.

    Cute restaurant with pleasant service. Had a taco plate and water. $14 plus tip. Instead of chips and salsa they serve a small cup of bean soup. Small portions here but tasty. I ordered water and was brought a bottled water instead of a glass of water with ice. Didn't care for that. Almost $17 for a taco pate with water and I left still hungry. Good food but disappointing quantity. I would serve more rice and beans than I was served, to a 5 year old.

Mozzarella sticks were nice and crispy battered on the outside with soft gooey cheese inside just like you want from good mozzarella sticks My friend ordered the nachos and let me tell you that plate was stacked. Huge plate of nachos! The place was clean, service was friendly and overall we were just really impressed with everything. Even end of the night food was still served fast, fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend stopping here. Their menu has a gigantic variety so I can almost guarantee you'll find something for everyone!

As my normal procedure, I always order 3 or 4 items when I am trying food from a new place. I ordered the birria tacos, beef nachos, wings and catfish. First, let me say, everything I ordered was on point and delicious. The wings were HUGE and were juicy and flavorful. My only slight criticism would be that I would like them fried a bit harder. But that is a very minor thing. The beef nachos were tasty. You get a lot of ground beef covered in cheese. They included a separate container of jalapeños, sour cream and lettuce. I only wish that they included tomatoes. Maybe if I order this again, I will see if they will include tomatoes The birria tacos were the best I've had. Nice and FULL of meat and cheese. They also included slices of cilantro and lime with the tacos. And of course there was a separate container for the dipping liquid. Also, at 2.99 each, and with as full as they were, you definitely could get full off of 2 or 3 of these. And finally, the catfish. The fish came with SEASONED steak fries, which were delicious, cole slaw that was delicious and 2 crispy large fillets that also had been seasoned with the same seasoning that was on the fries. I love, love, love the seasoning they used. It was salty and had a slight sweet taste. It is nice to know that some places do know how to season their food. All in all, this was a great experience. Everything that I ordered was delicious. I would definitely order from them again.
