“ The food and atmosphere are great here, and the service is excellent! Happy to be a regular here. My goto is the chicken tortilla soup ”
“ Seafood Enchiladas need I say more? If this was my last meal, Id be okay with that. My wife got the Chipotle Chicken Enchiladas and loved them. We are no strangers to delicious Mexican food we both enjoyed our food so much, we are taking our leftovers back to Arizona. Our server Irene was amazing! We will be back when we are visiting family next. ”
“ Went this past weekend and apparently they do brunch? It isnt on their website for some reason so Im guessing thats why it wasnt very busy? Maybe put something on the website since it seems like a really good deal. Had regular lunch instead and the food was good as always. But Ive noticed the last few time Ive been that they conveniently forget things in your dish. If it comes with guacamole and sour cream, theyll forget the sour cream and act like it doesnt come with it. Or theyll forget your chicken and rice dish comes with avocado and then tell you it doesnt when it says so right on the menu. Cant tell if its just laziness or on purpose but its happened the last 4 times Ive been in so hard to ignore. In a time where people are starting to reconsider where they spend their money dining out, this is one of those things that will start making a difference. You might want to try and stay ahead of it. ”
“ Food is generally good and the staff is always great. Went to the Sunday brunch for the first time in a long time and it is not what it used to be. Its about half of the options it used to be and the quality is as expected. the regular menu is consistent so Ill always go back for that. Im really hoping someone reads this and they step up the brunch game. Edit 1292024 Someone listened and definitely stepped up the brunch game and yesterday was really good. Staff is always good and Im glad the brunch is back to normal. But it wasnt very busy which a surprise and then I go on the website and they dont even have it on there. Guys, do you want brunch to be great again? Ya got to let people know. ”
“ Best drinks, hand poured and authentic Mexican food. Great portions ”
“ We love this place. Its traditional Mexican food, themed appropriately. There is a huge bar area with separate entrances There is even an outside window to place to go orders. It is a busy place which means the service isnt fast but work checking out of you havent been there before. ”
