The only thing that I regret about this place is not taking any pictures! I'll definitely go back and get some! Omg, the food ... was AMAZING. AH-MAZ-ING. It's like a gourmet Mexican joint. I don't think I've ever eaten at a better Mexican restaurant ????Nope, I haven't. Ok so firstly, the location is really nice and the restaurant itself was super cool. There were interestingpaintings and photos everywhere, beautifully lighted outdoor seating, and had just an overall neat vibe. The servers were reallyfriendly and efficient. Oh and we didn't have to wait long at all for our food and they were busy. Now, the food ???????????? Ihad the pulled pork tacos that come with two sides or chili/soup. I chose the chili which was delicious. I actually closed myeyes as I took a bite lol It was that good. The pulled pork was perfectly cooked and there were fried onions YUM. The portionswere perfect as well and of course I had a margarita ???? ???? oh i forgot to mention how decently priced everything was,especially for how great it all tasted. New favorite place to eat! Update: We went back and I got some pictures! Read more
Here?s my to-go order. Didn?t put the sauces on the side like requested. Great taco with 4 tiny pieces of shrimp drowning in... sauce. Gross. They seem to do a better job when you?re actually inside of the restaurant. Read more

Well this is certainly a fun place worth the 40 minute wait. Their margaritas are wonderful and you can drink it on the patio... which is beautiful while you wait for your table. Our server was great and the food cones out fast. Their velvet steak tacos areDevine and that corn on the cob is like no other. We will definitely try this place again!!! Fun atmosphere too!!! Plantains andqueso dip to die for! Read more

The restaurant is gorgeous and a great place to hang out with friends for happy hour. There are lots of games and plenty of... space to just enjoy the ambiance. The food is delicious, especially the quesadillas. They are massive and we certainly couldn?tfinish them. The drinks are good but the margaritas can be a bit on the weaker side. The service is top notch. I stronglyrecommend visiting. Definitely come at night to enjoy the vibes! Read more
