I came to this location intentionally to avoid the Magnolia one because I previously had a pretty disappointing service experience there. Unfortunately, it seems like the service issues might not just be limited to that location. The frustrating part is that the food is genuinely good. I stopped in on a Friday for lunch and ordered the shrimp cocktail and it was delicious. Flavor-wise, no complaints at all. But the service? Once the food hits the table it feels like the staff completely disappears. No one checks back in, no drink refills, no asking if anything else is needed. It basically turns into a self-service experience after your plate arrives. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was that there was a man nearby who was clearly very intoxicated and harassing people around him. I was honestly surprised the staff kept serving him alcohol instead of cutting him off or stepping in. It made the whole environment feel awkward and a little chaotic. It's disappointing because the kitchen is clearly doing its job the food is great but the overall dining experience just doesn't match the quality of what they're serving. After having similar service issues at two locations, it's starting to feel like a pattern. I'd still be open to giving it another try down the road because the food is worth it, but I really hope the service and overall management of the dining room improves. read more

Food is delicious and live music on Sunday Carmen was very attentive w it h her service read more

This pollo en mole was so good. It was so good that coworkers that were passing by when I was eating said that it smell so good and kept asking me where did I got the dish. The mole has a little of spicy kick to it that makes it so good. The dish comes with refried beans and yellow rice. Option of corn or flour tortilla. And a small container of salsa for a bag of chips. One note that parking was hard to find during my visit on a Friday at 1:20 pm. read more

This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem and oh so delicious. Very small but hip location. Murals on the wall and great music. The chilaquiles are top 3 in my opinion. They were saucy, flavorful, and made with just the right amount of spice. Felt like I was eating at my abuelita's house. read more

After so many years I gave this place another chance. Candy you were amazing! The restaurant was very clean, and the service was good overall--our servers were attentive throughout the visit. What really stood out, though, was Candy, who was exceptionally friendly and went out of her way to connect with us. As for the food, our order was decent, but there were a few misses: the carne en su jugo had some burnt pieces of meat, the green caldo was a bit too thick, and the taco on the kids' plate was a little tough. While the food wasn't quite at its best this time, Candy's wonderful hospitality definitely makes me want to come back and give you another try in the future! read more

They did it again! Real Mexican food like we like it. Edith our server is always the best, she's fast and knows everything about the menu as a server should know. Family oriented place for sure read more

Amazing service and let me tell you about the food. My husband gets the menudo and I get the chilaquiles with meat with red sauce and beans. This is the perfect breakfast. I've been there 3 times and it always tastes the same. 10/10 recommend. We usually go like at 10 am and it's not as packed. read more

My daughter insisted we try their sushi. Unfortunately, e came too early. Sushi does not get served until after 11am . It was only 945am. Our server was very nice. She did not insist on us staying but she recommended the Birria Res o Chivo. It was amazing! I usually default to pozole when I see it on the menu. But I trusted our server. I'm glad I did. Best Birria! My daughter was very happy with her fried tilapia. It came with a generous serving of fried rice, salad and refried beans. The tilapia was crispy outside and juicy inside. It could've benefited from a little marinade, since th meat inside was bland, but it came with a lot of condiments for taste. read more

everything was delicious. will return again. the paintings on the walls were nice to look at while we ate.

The food and service was amazing. The ambiance/location seem sketchy but yet did not feel unsafe. Will definitely be back. FYI. The music was too loud and the music was a bit hardcore for my taste (corridos pesados). read more

This place has some of the best food around the area. Wish they had online orders that way I'm not put on hold having to hear an entire conversation with the waiter talking to her kid on the cell phone while I'm waiting to finish my order. I highly recommend the food the waiters service not so much. Been coming here since the old owner was around and still do from time to time sucks I had to experience this. Hope they implement a cell phone policy while at work. read more

Mixed feelings. The food is good. The place is small. (Elbow room only) parking is a disaster. The 1st time we had great service. Recently visited again and we left without dining. The server/cashier was extremely rude and spoke in a disrespectful tone. My suggestion is : avoid the middle aged heavy set/larger female. It ruined our desire to ever return. Such a shame as they have a lot of my ancestral dishes including Uchepes. read more

So far so good cool people working there food is clean and fresh !!! I'll come back again and try other things just to be sure LOL read more

Good food, great test but really bad phone orders! If you order in Spanish or English it doesn't matter the girls that take orders don't have a good understanding of either language. If you order menudo with "pata" they give you me menudo with "PAPA"= potato really not kidding how is that possible! I have many more stories. I keep ordering because I like the food not the service. I give a tip no matter what just for the food. read more

This place isa little hole in the wall but it has amazing authentic Mexican dishes from Michoacán. I recommend this place . The staff very attentive and friendly. read more

The atmosphere is very pleasant and the staff are always smiling and with positive greetings, food is always very favorable.

Ordered red chilaquiles. Did not like it. I was expecting the red sauce (Guajillo chile). But instead the sauce was made out of tomatoes and Serrano chiles. read more

Great food. We've been going there for many years and were so excited when it opened for delivery. The only negative I can make is that with the delivery fee imposed by the restaurant AND the Grubhub fee the meals comes out to be expensive; much more so than some of the other similar choices on Doordash. All in all great food, fast delivery and I miss the waitressess! read more

This place was GREAT!! I walked in and Edith greeted my with a smile and said WELCOME ! I knew I was already going to love it . She was very attentive, I had the "camarones a la diabla" they were delicious , my mouth was on fire but I couldn't stop eating them . I had a Michelada with Modelo bear and it too was amazing !! You have to try this place !! 5 stars read more

The paloma was actually very smooth. read more

Food was great, atmosphere was great, wonderful people and place to eat dinner lunch and breakfast

Small little whole in the wall type place. Kind of hidden but worth the trouble of finding it. I ate some chilaquiles and my friend ate shrimp. We also ordered oysters. Everything was delicious! I gave it 4 stars because the Pina cada had literally no liquor in it and the waitress was really bad. We had to be chasing her for service. But I would go again just for the food read more

This is now our forever spot for mariscos. The agua chiles, ceviche and caldo de 7 mares are the bomb.com.

The best Mexican food in town. Thank you Jannet for your great service

Just wanted to let you guys know before you pay attention to the other reviews like I did. I don't like to leave bad reviews for location that are in my city because I like them prospering. Here it goes, I went for my birthday I know first time I should've went to a reliable place but wanted to be adventurous. I felt like eating mariscos. The waitress was awesome very attentive this why I gave them two stars. The food was horrible I won't lie once I tasted the bottom of the juice from the mariscos I stopped dead in my tracks. Oh man I'm going to be sick. The salsa was frozen so it had no taste because it was water down. The only thing that I will say was really good was the micheleda and the waitress she was very nice. One of the other people I came with who ate the "fish" taco said it was a bit of fish covered in batter. I am very sorry for this honest review and I will try it in the future but I hope you guys can change. Cause those waitress where really working hard. read more

I give this restaurant zero stars. I placed an order on Uber eats expecting this place to be great based on reviews. I never ate here before so I figure give it a try. Worst decision, I ordered from the menu under "child's plate" a quesadilla meal which I paid full price for and they got the order wrong. According to the employee/manager apparently Uber eats "messed up their menu" which doesn't make sense to me it's obvious that the price for large quesadilla and child's plate quesadilla is different. Anyhow, well here comes the cherry on top I also ordered 2 caldo de res and let me tell you when I opened the lid there it was a FLY floating in my soup!! Yuck. Disgusting to say the least. I immediately called the restaurant and addressed my issues with my order and the employee plus the manager vicky were no help whatsoever. I was never offered a refund and the only thing they could say was that they couldn't do anything about the quesadilla meal but to stop by so I can pick up a new soup. Gross! I cannot eat at a place like this ever. Sad that I paid almost $50 for something that I could not eat. Very disappointed with this restaurant!! read more

This restaurant is clean and has decent service. I ordered the michilada corona it was pretty good. For dinner I got Diablo shrimp, beans, and rice. It was decent the Diablo shrimp wasn't spicy at all it was okay. I had a fish taco on the side. The flavor of the fish was bland. I wouldn't go back. I'm not sure how this place has 4.5 stars. It's okay........... read more

The to go packaging was great, they included all the items we needed, cilantro onion, salsas, chips etc. We will definitely be ordering from this restaurant again. read more
