The decor is vibrant, the music adds to the energy, and the overall vibe is welcoming and enjoyable. The standout for me was the chicken burrito special--it was huge and packed with flavorful ingredients. You definitely get your money's worth! The fresh guacamole was another highlight. It tasted freshly made, with just the right balance of avocado, lime, and seasoning. The food was delicious overall, but the pickup service was a little slower than expected during my visit when it was crowded, which is why I'm giving it four stars instead of five. Even so, I'd happily come back for the giant burritos and fresh guac. If you're craving satisfying Mexican food in a fun setting, this place is definitely worth checking out.

So the family said they wanted Mexican food. El Mezcalito was one of the options. But I said El…read moreMezcalito is not an option, it is the go to for quelling the beast in the belly. The chips and salsa are premium. The chips are light & the salsa is fresh, chunky and full of flavor. Great with an ice cold beer or lemonade.

The food was also so yummy! I got the verde burrito and the birria. Both amazing and reasonably priced, although I preferred the burrito. The salsa they serve at the beginning is very mild, but the red and green they can bring out were too spicy for my mom. Me and my sister found it spicy too, but we can hang. Green was the spicer between the two The inside was cute, but about like any other Mexican restaurant.

The portions were ok, and the margarita was large and refreshing and good actually, but I had to ask for it 3x, but the food itself was only okay. Nothing we ordered stood out enough to make us want to return. We sat down and it wasn't busy. 15 min later they came and took our order. The hostess that came to us first was attentive he was really the only one. The biggest disappointment was the customer service. Throughout our entire visit, there was very little attention from all staff. We rarely saw our server, drinks went unrefilled longer than they should have, and there was no effort to check in and see how our meal was. I never once was asked if I would like another margarita. Hospitality can make a huge difference, and unfortunately it was lacking here. This is huge for me in a sit down. The restaurant has a fun sports-bar atmosphere with plenty of TVs, but the restroom also needed attention and wasn't as clean as expected. Overall, not a terrible experience, but not one I'd go out of my way to repeat at all. There are too many great Mexican restaurants in the area for this one to make it back onto my regular rotation. Probably won't be returning at all.

Unfortunately that's about where any of the positives end. Service was absolutely horrendous. It was a solid five minutes before we were even acknowledged. She took our order, I asked for chips and salsa. She said she would bring them, and then never came back. We flagged down another server and she brought them for us. Our food was delivered about two minutes later And again, no one ever came back. We had to flag down another server for boxes and our check. The food wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't say it was good, either. More just edible. The extreme amount of MSG made it extremely offputting and left a bad aftertaste in my mouth. We really wanted to love this place since it's only about seven minutes from our house... But unfortunately, we will not be back.

The real story here is the portions. HOLY HECK!! It was So Much Food. 8 fish sticks on a mountain of fries. The burrito was gargantuan. It's going to take my husband 3 days to get through it. But everything was so good. Husband kept stealing my fish sticks!! The homemade tartar sauce was delightful and the cinnamon sugar chips with the fried ice cream were a great touch.

Then I realized I pass it pretty often when leaving work, so when I was in the area with my family, we decided to finally stop in. The place looked pretty run-down when we walked in, and unfortunately the first impression didn't get much better. The person taking our order wasn't particularly welcoming or service-forward, and the table we sat at was noticeably sticky. While we were waiting, a friend of the owners came in and was loudly dropping plenty of profanity, which seemed to be perfectly welcome. Meanwhile, the same person who took our order was now in the back preparing our food. We tried the crunchy homestyle hard-shell tacos that seem to be the big thing online, along with a couple of street tacos. The food itself wasn't terrible. It was definitely on the greasy side, but there was some flavor there. I just wouldn't describe it as particularly authentic or something I would go out of my way for. For me, the bigger issue was the overall experience. The condition of the restaurant, the cleanliness of the table, and the general lack of attention to the customer experience all added up. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but based on this visit, I wouldn't go back or recommend it.

It's like four different themes in one sports bar anime toy store Mexican restaurant. It was a bit of everything it's a bit crowded. The seating is a little too close to each other. We had to wait quite a bit of time just to be seated. We were finally seated by big huge TVs and everybody else that was in the restaurant was all around us. They sat everyone super close together. There was not one specific waitress. It was a collective group of people coming to the table for different things. They brought us chips and salsa. The chips were very stale! Finally, somebody came over to take our drink order that took a minute to bring us our drinks We finally placed our order for our food again that took a long time to receive our food. I don't know what was going on in the kitchen, but we were there a good 20 minutes before we received anything. They sat a family next to us with screaming kids, jumping around making a mess and it was very close to our table. It just was not an enjoyable experience. We noticed when we were leaving there was lots of seating in the front and was quiet. The food was good nothing special We did enjoy what we received but the overall experience and the customer service is very lacking. This is a restaurant I would only do once and never come back too again service is extremely slow and it is pretty pricey for what you get
