The REAL THING! When this place opened we soon realized it…read morewas not your average Mexican restaurant, oh it has the the bright vibrant colors, and at first the menu looks like any other restaurant, but you get a appetizer and it's a meal! All of the food is made when it is ordered, all fresh, the queso is fantastic! And it's made fresh. The guacamole is fresh, the EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS, I will make the longest review if I name everything that's delish. I order take out a lot from here and I don't always call in, they are so fast at getting my order to me. They also have Mexican Coca Cola (made with cane sugar, just like REAL coke was made before they messed with it). From 1 to 10, I would give the restaurant a 20+

They had a large variety of salsas which I was eager to try. My goto is usually the salsa verde and they had the traditional and avocado version. Upon the first bite of the salsa verde, I was caught off guard because it was so salty. When the server came over and took our order, I felt the need to let him know because it was not edible (IMO) but my husband also agreed. They kindly took the feedback and shortly after I saw some staff go over to the salsa bar and took it away. They actually ended up changing or fixing it and it was so much better! Hubby's tacos were awesome, super flavorful meats. My pork carnita dish was absolutely delicious! Packed with flavor, the rice was addicting and it was a great combination. The service was great as well so we look forward to coming back!

We have our favorite go to restaurants but we decided to try a new place & we are glad we did! Ramon greeted us & he was very friendly & provided great service! Inside is huge & very clean! My husband had the California Burrito Bowl & he loved it; the steak was very tender and seasoned well! I had the steak fajitas, the portion size was huge and the dish was packed with flavor! We cook Mexican dishes a lot at home & normally when we eat out at a Mexican restaurant, it lacks enough seasoning, but not here!! We will definitely be back! Bonus: I had enough leftovers to feed us both the next day for lunch! :)

Daniel Hurtado (I asked this man for his name as we left) was our waiter, he was so attentive to all of us even the children. He went above and beyond. The food was absolutely delicious! They had a menu that had anything and everything you'd ever want to eat. Everyone there was very nice, including the other patrons who were there eating. One woman got up and asked if she could take pictures of all of us so I was included. (I was taking pictures) she came over said "let me take them so you're in the pictures as well. It was a very nice warm and inviting place to eat and we'll NEVER FORGET Daniel!

I picked Tostadas (2x) with shrimp and pulpo (octopus). They were fresh and delicious. The chips and salsa are also great. The waiter told us that they have a Salsa Bar and that was awesome! Love the mango salsa. They should promote this special trick right after they serve the chips and salsa. I love this place!

Cashier could not have been more indifferent to us. How was your meal ? Everything OK ? No, just total insolence. Baffling. Too bad. Adios.

We were met promptly by the hostess and she took us directly to our table. Atmosphere here is upbeat, we're close to the bar area which was occupied and the group was having a great time for a Friday night. We ordered a large queso dip to go with the complimentary chips and salsa, and it all tasted great. For our entrees we ordered: Carne Asada dinner, Enchilada Supreme and Single Tamale with Extra Cheese. I was very impressed with the efficiency of the kitchen we received our entrees quickly. Most of all, everyone enjoyed their dishes and the food was delicious. We will definitely go back when we are back in town. Easy 5 Stars !!

Margaritas looked phenomenal. Gotta give em that. I had the 5-burritos plate. Mediocre I must say. All in all, one star for a great service. One star for location within short walking distance of the closed pizza joint. And a third star for the vibe and the salsa bar. The burritos you ask? No star for that. Half a star? No! No star! Even the rice was meh.

Great looking on the inside for a little bar and grill type vibe. They have a buffet... which I'm unfamiliar with in Mexican restaurants in our area. So this was really cool. The menu... guys, when I tell you they have a menu, they have a big Ass Menu! It's huge! Their pics in the menu actually look exactly like the food they serve you. We've ate there twice in the last week, both times we had wonderful service by a fella. He is super pleasant and on IT! He got our orders right both times. The first visit was just my husband and I and he orders more authentic Mexican food. The second visit was us and our 3 boys. Wow, were they impressed! The salsa bar is a big fave for us, too! Not to mention the BEST D. Coke in the world. Idk what it is about their soda, but it's the best I've had. I had tostones the second visit topped with shredded chicken and guacamole! Probably the best guac I've had. These are a spin on tostones I've never seen. We thoroughly enjoyed them. This was an appetizer. I ate one as a meal, that's how big this serving is (see pics)! My husband had the birria quesadilla. He raved over it and is a big birria fan!!! Highly recommend this restaurant. You will be coming back for more, like we did! Pros: great service, great atmosphere (a million TVs playing all the games, beautiful setting- renovated, great food, great soda, they have really big portions, great prices. There aren't really any cons. We were satisfied in every aspect with our visits.
