Went here for lunch today based on a coworkers recommendation and I have to say it did not disappoint. It is a Sports bar / Mexican food restaurant, which is a unique combination I have not encountered yet. The atmosphere is your typical Sports Bar with lots of TVs to watch sports on. They have a full bar (did not partake - was working hours). I had the Texas Lunch (Carne Guisada). I generally judge Mexican Food restaurants on 2 things, Salsa and Carne Guisada, The Carne Guisada I had was definitely in my top 5 favorite of all time. I would highly recommend trying this place if you are close by. I will definitely return next time I am in town. read more

Went after a function...the restaurant was very clean and the staff were very welcoming and friendly...the menu is large, however, the food was mediocre at best. Not sure about ever returning, but might just to see if anything was different...I think more geared to Tex-Mex... read more

So another came said we can't reprint but you can come look at it , we did were being charged for drinks we didn't have ... she was nice and came back and refunded and charged right amount but beware I'm sued I'm not only one . read more

I seriously can't believe this place doesn't have better reviews! First time here and the food was insane -- some of the best I've ever had. I got the birria tacos, birria pizza, mojarras, and birria ramen noodles and wow... everything was next level. Plus, the staff was super chill and nice, which made it even better! read more

THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS! and reasonably priced. however, it is insanely loud inside. it would be perfect for after work drinks, but do not plan to go there and talk to your friends - maybe different on another night - we went on a Friday! read more

The service can be slow at times but the food is good. They have TVs around the wall so that's a plus. One thing though, and I don't know why or what, but it gets really loud in there. The place wasn't at capacity and we could barely have a conversation without yelling or repeating ourselves. So take that into consideration. If that doesn't bother you then that's irrelevant. But if you're sensitive to a loud indoor setting, then I recommend you skip this place or go when it's not busy. read more

Came here with a friend and my sister around 8:30 on a Thursday night. 9/29/22 We were seated fairly quickly! The inside is very big and looks clean. It is noisy so if you're wanting a quiet place, this isn't it! The hostess was sweet and polite. This is in a plaza type building so there's lots of parking! We had the birria tacos and the chicken fajitas. The food was so good! Great quality and pretty big portions. We ordered a blue Hawaiian drink and found a bug in it, I returned it to the bar and explained to them the situation, they made us a strawberry margarita instead (we requested a different drink), the margarita was so good! We enjoyed it. Our server, im not sure her name, wasn't very welcoming. Wouldn't look at us when she talked, and just acted like she didn't want to be there. Other than that, our experience was wonderful! read more

Nope! We were told this had the best fajitas in town. Hardly. The food came in a cool presentation but that's it. The beef had no flavor. The margarita was good. Kind'a expensive for a not that great meal. Disappointed. read more

Food, service and drinks were excellent! Tacos Campechanos, birria tacos, churros, aguas frescas were great!

Food not good as far as the fajitas dry and way over cook / not made to order Old like made a lunch given for dinner read more

BEWARE DO NOT order carne guisada - can't cut can't eat too tough!!! Manager never came over. Server came to pick up cooker ASAP like anyone wanted it. Not very professional service. Posale was good. Bar Drink made the difference read more

The food is good most of the time. I environment is cool. I had went there for a graduation dinner and waited 2 hours for my food. A few people including myself were waiting an hour after everyone else had gotten their food. The Boss Angel had told us he'll "see what he can do" after we tried canceling our order. Once our food arrived after requesting to cancel our food, the waitress brings out cheesecake as a sorry for the late food. Why the literal fuck would you give us cheesecake instead of discounting the highly priced food... disappointing moment for mitote and don't think I'll be going there anytime soon read more

we visited last night and was served by Krystina! an amazing experience and fun place to be. fast friendly service. Thank you and great Job! we will definitely be back! Tim McDowell read more

I came her for my first time recently and had a wonderful experience! They had a great variety of Mexican inspired cocktails. Our server Erika was very attentive and made amazing drinks. She was also very nice and talkative. I will definitely be back! read more

We come here often and the food is always amazing and the service is great! If you haven't been here I highly recommend you try it out.

The manager had horrible service when we tried to sit at a booth but yet let some "white" folks sit down at the booth without paying for a bottle. I would never recommend this place. For the way we were treated here. read more

The birria tacos and Quesadillas are very good. It is a loud restaurant and once it gets late its more of a bar with good food.

Service is always terrible. The hostess has no idea what she's doing. The managers don't care and the servers have attitude. The food is just ok but way overpriced. Mixed drinks are weak. Been 4 times and each time has been worse than the last. read more

Super loud for nearby residential apartments early into the morning. They need to find a way to dampen the noise or the City will require them to. Could be very expensive for them. Or just turn down the sound. read more

Oye always a fun experience! The staff is very attentive and food is always delicious. The birria tacos and fajitas are my favorite.

Went here on Friday night, paid the $10 cover since it was after 10pm. They said to find a table ourselves. So we did and it was fine for a while, music was good. We didn't eat but after reading the other reviews I am glad we didn't. We only ordered buckets of Ultra. My brother in law and his brother were gonna go smoke and he paid his tab with cash on the table. 3 of us were still at the table not going anywhere and out of nowhere we have the cops at our table and the waitress is telling them that my husband pushed her and they needed to get us out of there. Wtf, Never happened. I guess she thought they weren't paying for their tab? To top it off she goes gets our tab and with all the commotion we didn't even check the ticket she just swiped the card, she charged us for 6 buckets. Idk what the point of that was unless she gives those buckets to other tables and then takes cash. Ratchet place, not going back. read more

I'm sorry but I am very unhappy with tonight's visit,,we ordered fajitas got them burnt and hard left them there and chk flautas which were so hard and burnt I could not even eat them,,the waitress was not helpful at all she took the flautas off which I wasn't saying for her too I was just telling her wat the problem was I Kno there very busy and mistakes happen but I'm very disappointed in the service tonight.. Priscilla or Roxanne was the waitress.. read more

We had never experienced this place before and had heard great things. We arrived at 1 and it's 2. The waitress was continuously coming by without food, i asked where the food was and she apparently never entered it in the system. It was not busy and they had more than enough staff. Wished we were able to try this place. Def. not the spot. Simple mistake or lack of management? read more

I've given this place a chance twice. I do have to say their food is not great, but has a pretty presentation of how it's served to you. Honestly appetizers taste better than the entrees, and the alcoholic drinks are great. My husband and I both ordered tacos. We got our plates, but never got "salsa" (hot sauce) for tacos, limes, salt/pepper, or extra napkins... oh and never got refills. The only napkins we got were a tiny thin one that your silverware comes wrapped in. If you go to any place that serves tacos, it's a general rule of thumb that you serve salsa and limes with your tacos. I'm not sure if the service was horrible both times because we went on a Friday night around 8 pm. I do have to say the entertainment and music is great! There's a room in the back to play pool. It's a "sports" bar, but the TVs are smaller than usual for a sports bar, and sparse. But over all besides the alcohol and music, I'm not impressed with this place, at least not yet. read more
