    a plate of food
    Daniel L.

    I love their food. I've been buying food from here for about 3 years now. Not once has it disappointed. Their food always taste fresh and homemade. All the staff are super friendly. They are open during COVID and taking proper safety precautions! I highly recommend.

    These tacos look so much better than they taste!!

The bar is small (we wished it were bigger) but the spacious dining room and patio are just fine. The stuffed brie pretzels set my weight loss goal back weeks! Then the buffalo cauliflower...

They seemed to have as much outdoor as indoor seating, sufficient parking in a mini-mall, location in a somewhat upscale neighborhood, a small bar area as you walk in with a TV, and clean bathrooms. Service was friendly and accomodating, and the bartender even stopped by, while my wife was in the ladies room, to fold her cloth napkin and place it back on the wooden table. There were limited, but sufficient dinner choices. My wife had mussells in an onion and white wine broth and she substituted a side salad (mostly lettuce) for the fried potatoes on the menu. With that, she had a glass of "sangria," which appeared to be a rosé wine without clumps of fruit. I had the seared cod served (a la mode) above a pile of 3 french fries, 3 green beans, and a child's handful of spinach. With that I had a glass of German reisling white wine. For dessert, we just had decaf cappuccinos. Both the food and drink were very good. The portions weren't very generous, but just enough.

Lately, they have additional vegan options, although we get meat and fish. Most of the menu is gluten free. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly. We tend to eat outside and the several tables along the sidewalk. We get takeout for dinner later as well. Nearby fast electric car chargers in the same complex contribute to the excellence of this location for the traveler.

I was shocked at how good it was. I wasn't expecting one of the best margaritas I've ever had. We shared the shrimp taquitos and elote corn dip. The tortilla chips were really good. My dad killed the dip. It's my first time having birria tacos. I added the cheese for a buck. They have a hot sauce station. Which even has creama. Of course I had to try all the hot sauces. I got a meal to go for my sister who is gluten free. Most of the menu if actually gluten free. I'm not a vegetarian but the vegetarian tacos sounded so good! Great variety of choices. Something for everyone for sure. Our waiter was so attentive and helpful. I got to peak into the new bar attached to the restaurant. It will be opening soon I believe. Very exciting. So happy we decided to come here!

The food was pretty good, although what I was looking forward to the most ended up being the biggest disappointment. I was really in the mood for tacos so I decided to give this place a try. It really is surprising to me how so many restaurants in the area that claim to offer "authentic Mexican" seem to care so little about the quality of their tacos. My chicken tacos were simply plain grilled chicken on tortillas with a couple pieces of radish and 2 lime wedges on the side. No cilantro, no onion, no cojita, and the tortillas weren't slightly grilled the way most people like. My expectations were severely dashed as soon as I saw what they looked like. I know how much Mexicans take pride in their tacos, and I believe Mexicans are some of the most culinarily gifted people walking this earth. So my question is why do so many Mexican spots, especially this new one, put forth such half-assed effort into their tacos. I hope the decision makers of this place read this and take my advice, sell better tacos. It's a nice atmosphere, decorated well, with a nice bar that has as big a selection of tequila as I've seen around here. I want this place to succeed and I will give them another shot in the near future.
