I tried their bbq ribs which I have never had before and they were amazing. They had a great char on them. Their tacos are still very good. I enjoy their carnitas meat. They don't give you the side of onions on your plate which is t a bad thing, but something I prefer.

Heads up; it's cash only (atm with $3 fee in the building) and 1 bill per table. I ordered 5 quesadillas to sample the different meats. I'll go from best to worst. The cabeza was rich, but not too overpowering which I've experienced before. No fat either which was great. The asada had a nice flavor and was perfectly tender. The pollo was equally flavorful and tender. All 3 get an A grade. The carnitas was pretty good, but not as tender as the others. Solid B. Finally, the pastor was a bit underwhelming. Simply too saucy to fully enjoy it. A C grade on that. Only negative would be how greasy they were. The tortillas were absolutely drenched in grease which wasn't great. Overall, a solid experience. Wish I would've degreased the tortillas more.

The restaurant is small and unassuming, the star of the show is the food and service! The food was standard, the portions were nice and the prices are very reasonable, but be prepared to pay cash. I've been in the restaurant business for more years than i care to admit and i must say the staff were amazing! I was really impressed with how well they all worked together. You could tell they enjoy supporting each other and it was so refreshing to witness, and that tells me about the "culture" of the establishment. The leadership is doing something right! Thanks for a wonderful experience!

But don't overlook the menu, because everything I have ever ordered has been well prepared and tasted better than anywhere else. (Just to be clear, I'm not biased. I don't live nearby, but I wish I did.) The classic Margarita is exceptional. We ordered the One Liter carafe. The table service was fast and friendly. There's always a line here. It's because it really is that good. It's worth the wait! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The chicken fajita's were pretty dry as well and a very small amount of peppers with it. Flaming cheese had zero chorizo pieces and no onion, very small amount of peppers.

Little patio with some seats and then couple different dining areas. Started with chips and guac. Very big portion on chips and the guac was large as well. The chips were fine. Could have used some more salt (most places don't salt them enough), but they were fresh so that was good. The guac was solid. Nothing noteworthy, but I liked it. As for the burrito, it was very good. Nice portion and the asada was very tender and flavorful. Never know with that. The fries were crispy as well which is always a worry. I had some of the salsa it came with which really elevated the burrito. If you're in the area, stop by. Would return.

The salsa is nice and has a little bit of spice but Everything else was lacking flavor and salt. The veggie fajitas only came with tortillas, no rice beans salsa, side salad nothing. The torta did not have beans in it. The enchiladas were lacking flavor same as their rice and beans Liz we asked for side sauce and the gave us green tomatillo sauce but again not much flavor. They never came to offer refills on water and even when we asked for it they never brought it. I think that was more of an understaffed place. The ambiance was great it is a lovely well decorated space and their shop next door is great we got some churros that were fresh and warm. I really hope next time we have better luck with the food.

We had the combo plate and the parillada de mariscos, as well as the spicy guacamole. The spicy guacamole is made with habaneros, by the way, so caution if you think you like spicy but are not ready for the heat! My only disappointment was that I was looking forward to grilled seafood (hence the parillada), but the seafood came sautéed instead, leaving the calamari rings a bit softer than I like them, but the lemon butter sauce was delicious.
