Thanks for an awesome evening! The food (carnitas w/mole) and margaritas were amazing . But even better was the service from the friendly staff! Wilson, you rock! Looking forward to the next visit!

History of having rats / roaches and they still do , anonymous source I’m friends with who who (to keep anonymity) worked/ works there, told me it’s still a issue there. They had to close / change there name to re open because of the health code violations last time.

We get take out here all the time. The drive thru is easy and always good. We love the super burritos, chimichangas, fajita salad, and the salsa is our fav here.

My favorite restaurant. The best margaritas, chimichangas, ceviche, nachos & more. I could literally drink their salsa. I adore the fountain in the center of their covered, outdoor seating area, and if available I choose sitting next to it. And even though I feel like it's been awhile since they've had live music, (I'm probably wrong) it's one of the greatest charms about this place. We come often, but specifically came on Valentines day with our little, and it was so nice to have that going on. She loved watching him play his guitar and sing, and if you have any young kids who love music, this makes for a very relaxing and calm dining experience. She also loves their kid's chicken quesadilla with beans and rice. The servers are always kind and helpful with suggestions. Yeah, I could pretty much go on and on about this place. Oh, they also have a drive-thru (which is so crazy to me! In a good way). I love the atmosphere so much that we only used it during covid times, but the food was just as good then as it is ordering inside. 10/10 love this restaurant. Parking: Front side is usually full but the backside has parking as well. Depends on how busy, but I've never been unable to get a spot. Kid-friendliness: I've always seen families here, which has always made me feel comfortable bringing our toddler. Their menu doesn't directly have a kids menu on it, but the servers offer plenty of options when asked or will simply give you options without being asked. Wheelchair accessibility: No steps! Tables are far enough apart for wheelchairs. Staff is always very helpful with moving chairs as needed.

My husband and I were delighted when we arrived on Superbowl Sunday our server in the bar had some wonderful suggestions. Everything we ordered was outstanding. My hibiscus was top notch with spices and fresh flowers. The food was so authentic and reminded me of my grandmothers cooking, mouthwatering! Don't miss the churros for dessert, complete with strawberries and caramel filling. I can't wait to go back.

I don’t usually leave reviews but I finally need to for this place. Seem to forget to put the salad dressing in the bag for their fajita salads almost every-time I go. The most recent time she offered me refund of $1 for the dressing. The dressing makes the salad!!
