Only thing would be that the portions are fairly small for the price. $20 entree typically comes with both rice and beans, here only one or the other in a small side cup.

Their tacos are the best that I have had in the area and I've gone to at least half a dozen of local Mexican restaurants looking for tacos similar to ones I've had in Mexico. I love supporting family-owned businesses so this will definitely in my lunch and/or dinner rotation. I went here TWICE in 72 hours - lengua, al pastor, and chicken tacos plus flan dessert are all amazing! Their habanero hot sauce is definitely spicy so I would recommend my spice lovers to try it, you won't be disappointed.

The kitchen appears to be proudly women-run, and the energy shows in both the food and the pace of service. One tip: be specific when you order. We've learned to clearly ask for meat and cheese only in a quesadilla (otherwise it may arrive looking more like a burrito), and to request salsas on the side if that's your preference. Once you know that, the experience is smooth with fast service and consistently delicious food.

There are two parts to this review the first will be the food, it was amazing. The second will be…read morethe service, it was abysmal. 1) The food was mostly delicious. It was late in the evening so we opted to share Queso Fundido and the Texas Fajitas. The Queso Fubdido was meh. Nothing terrible about it but nothing good either. The fajitas were delicious. As a Texan I still find humor when restaurants name something for Texas and then deliver a dish that has nothing to do with Texas but the fajitas were delicious regardless. Thin strips of steak and chicken. A healthy portion of shrimp. So good. I love when a sizzling plate puts a little char on the veggies and this was done to perfection. Absolutely delicious. My only complaint is that they put cilantro on their guacamole. I am one of the 14% who think it tastes like soap. I love avocados, I love guacamole, I can't do it with cilantro. I hate that cilantro has taken off in recent years. Please make guacamole without cilantro. It can be added. 2) The service. Ugh We were seated promptly and had water and menus almost immediately the young waiter was pleasant and took our orders. I asked if I could keep the menu to look over the drink list and he obliged. Everything going well to this point. When he came back with the food, he never did come back to get a drink order, he turned and left after grabbing the menu. I tried to get his attention, not happening. This is where it really goes downhill. Not once during the entire evening was our water refilled. Not once. I made multiple attempts to get his attention, we even made eye contact a couple of times, and no water refill. People sitting around us had bottles of water to refill their glasses with, not us. We had spent a long day hiking and, while not parched, were thirsty. When the food was delivered I asked for water but he had turned around and walked away. He was very attentive to the difficult table next to us. Difficult only because he couldn't figure out how to split the check between five people. He came back and forth to their table no less than six times and still wouldn't bring us more water. As we finished our meal we decided to try a piece of Tres Leches cake and waited and waited and waited for him to come by. He came by, still trying to figure out the bill for the table next to us, but never even looked toward our table. He was literally standing one foot away from me at one point and I called to him and he never turned around. Finally my wife stood and motioned for him. He finally came over so we could ask for the check. I also asked for a water refill. He brought the check but no water refill seriously. We believe in tipping well and did tip this person 18% but our usual is 25%. To sum it all up, delicious food, lousy service.

The bartender was very friendly and professional. Say 3.5 stars... We decided to give them a well-deserved second chance and we are glad we did. We once again chose to sit in the bar area, our preference, this time they were running like a well oiled machine. The staff and food were great. I really enjoyed the Rio Bowl with carnitas, and my wife loved the Rio Bowl with grilled chicken. I loved the spicy margarita.
