Nice spot... Lil lady gives grandma feel... Very welcoming. Shrimp tacos alarm very good... Restaurant is cute and clean...
Date night with the hubby on a friday evening! We had seen this place across from another Mexican restaurant but this was calling out to us as it's bigger and flashier. Live music (band) plays while you eat. They also go table to table to serenade you. It was a long day and we were able to enjoy the nice evening with great food and music. Great vibe! Lots of options here and they even have different sauces/salsa for the chips (free chip appetizer). The decors were cute and everyone seem to love it here. This place definitely earn a spot to our date night list. We ordered chicken fajita (wanted the sizzling plate) and a bistec a la mex (wanted rice & beans). Short wait for hot sizzling yummy food. There was also a side of rice & beans for the fajita when the tortillas run out. Love it and will definitely be back!
Beautiful place. Very friendly staff. The food is amazing, it has great taste. Their drinks are amazing specially "cantaritos" well made delicious flavor and it's serve in a traditional cantarito.
I used to come to this location when it was across the street. My family knows the owner for many years and it had been some time since we've been there. We ordered the enchiladas de mole and an order of steak tacos. The last time I've been at this restaurant was about a year ago and I was a little disappointed with the food quantity that we got as we had ordered take out. It was half of what you would receive if you ate at the restaurant for the same price. The last time we got the enchiladas de mole it had 4 enchiladas with a nice size scoop of rice and beans on the side and our take out had 2 enchiladas and like 3 spoonfuls of rice and beans. The tacos also felt like it was missing meat filling as it looked empty. The taste of both food was delicious though. It was nice to chat with the owner but we won't be returning unless we decide to eat at the restaurant. It felt a little disappointing.
We were at your restaurant on March 8, 2025 at 5:15 pm and there was a family letting their 2 young boys run around all over the place while the staff did nothing about it. It really disturbed our experience at the restaurant and we may think twice about coming back even though you have very good food. By the way if one of those kids got hurt at your restaurant then the parents would have legal right to take action .
