    Nachos
    Nicole H.

    This is a cool laid back neighborhood with great vibes & good food! The crowd here is older, always fun & welcoming. I love Pesos!

    Steak and shrimp fajitas

    Pesos portions are on point! Fresh veggies and spicy meat dishes with delicious tortillas.

    No frills in this establishment. While the space is small, they do an excellent job of taking advantage of every square foot. It's clean, the service is always on point, and the food is seasoned and tasty. And the drinks!? Look out, because they're strong. They also offer a karaoke night on the weekends. It's not a traditional Mexican spot, but it's a damn good one. If you're in the neighborhood, you should stop by. It's a hidden gem.

    Ordered on Uber eats they didn't put half of my order in the bag . Had to drive 30 minutes to go pick up the items that was forgotten . The queso taste like melted, store-bought cheese . the tomatoes in the pico look like they're a couple days old. and the fajitas aren't good. Definitely do not recommend.

    This was my 3rd time within 2 weeks, so that says a lot about this place! The first couple of times I ordered food to-go.... this time we decided to dine in.... service was extremely slow, our waitress said they were short staffed. The food on all three occasion was really good! The drinks were tight ( strong) and the prices were ok! We will definitely be visiting this spot again.

    Nachos, no meat, black beans, and jalapenos

    After a day of running errands we saw a Mexican restaurant which makes me think about 3 things, tacos, nachos, and/or margaritas, yum. Because we were grocery shopping we couldn't sit down and we wanted to choose a spot close to the house so to Yelp I went. I had heard about this place quite a few times and they're black owned, so why not. We called our order in. I got the nachos, no meat, black beans, and added jalapenos. My friend got the fish tacos and French fries (lol). When we arrived we went to the bar to pick up our order then to the house we went. We ate the fries on the way to the house lol. Although they could've used a tad bit more salt, they were crispy and with their housemade sauce it gave it a little something extra. To go nachos aren't the prettiest but they were delicious. Plenty of cheese, plenty of flavor, and a nice portion size. I thoroughly enjoyed my nachos. My friend enjoyed his fish tacos which are tilapia and it comes with three. I would recommend if you're wanting some Mexican food and you're in the area.

    This was supposed to be shrimp tacos

    Paid $20 for an extra extra chewy Steak burrito. which is crazy already. Get a better cut of beef that matches the price.

The atmosphere outside was perfect, especially with the warm weather. Inside felt a little average, so I'd say this is definitely more of a summer/outdoor spot. We started with chips, queso, and the salsa with peppers. The chips were just right--crunchy without being overly greasy. The queso was excellent, especially with the crispy top, and the salsa had a great balance of flavor and spice. My girlfriend ordered the chimichanga, and it was spot on. The shell was perfectly crisp and the meat inside was flavorful and tender. I got the off-menu fajitas with steak and shrimp--absolutely amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly, the shrimp was flavorful, and the grilled onions tied it all together. Even the rice on the side impressed me, which doesn't usually happen. We wrapped things up with churros for dessert. They were decent--not a standout, but still a nice finish. All of that for around $50? I was seriously impressed. Great meal, great service, and definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

We visited after a graduation celebration and were looking forward to a memorable meal. The experience got off to a rough start with hosts who were not particularly warm or welcoming. Once seated, things only went downhill. Our waiter seemed disorganized from the beginning. We ordered appetizers first, but they arrived at different times, and to make matters worse, the graduate in our party received her main entrée at the same time the rest of us were receiving appetizers. I politely explained that it didn't make sense for one guest to be eating her entrée while everyone else was still eating appetizers and waiting for their meals. His response was confusing and didn't really address the issue, so we let it go. Unfortunately, the graduate's steak was served cold. Rather than preparing a fresh one, the restaurant simply took it back and returned it about two minutes later. It appeared to be the exact same steak based on how we had left it when it was sent back, and while I'm not sure whether restaurants typically reheat food or prepare a new dish altogether, this one was reheated. To make matters worse, the graduate ended up with a stomachache after eating it. As we continued waiting, our entrées never arrived. The waiter was polite but extremely inattentive. We repeatedly had to flag him down because he rarely checked on our table. After a VERY long wait, I asked about the rest of our meals. At that point, he admitted that he had forgotten to place our entree orders altogether. He then had to take all of our orders again and submit them to the kitchen. By the time our food finally arrived, we were no longer hungry and were extremely frustrated, despite remaining patient and courteous throughout the entire experience. The entrées were decent, but nothing exceptional, especially considering the extremely excessive wait and service issues. The waiter did bring a small dessert for the graduate, which was a nice touch, but it felt more like a complimentary gesture because he had forgotten our entrées than a genuine celebration of the occasion, especially given how disastrous the overall experience had been. What should have been a joyful graduation celebration turned into an exhausting and disappointing dining experience. While the waiter was polite, the service was slow, disorganized, and lacking attention to detail. Overall, this was a poor first experience and not one I would be eager to repeat.

A few other things we ordered were the crab cake and Brussel sprouts, which were both really good. I got the birria empanada, which unfortunately was not seasoned at all. It was fried to perfect tho. Overall it was an underwhelming experience and I would likely not return.

I understand the policy and fully support it; I don't understand the hostility. My husband was third in line and there were more than three open tables. Our 3-year-old twins were getting in the way in the crowded line, so I took them to an empty table while we waited--after specifically confirming there were plenty more available than the 2 people in front of us. The table "monitor" immediately came over with an incredibly rude attitude and said he "doesn't care about kids--everyone else has kids." A simple, polite request to wait would have sufficed. Note that I had also had already purchased a margarita so I wasn't at the table empty handed. The superiority complex would be amusing if the restaurant were good, but it isn't. The line looks long but it's by design to make it look more popular than it is. There's only one person taking orders near the door to create the optics that the line is long. The food itself is bland and under-seasoned. We left, spent our money elsewhere, and won't be back. If you have young kids, this is clearly not a place that wants your business.

There were so many tempting options on the menu, but we landed on the empanadas with mango slaw, birria tacos with a side of vegetables, and the enchiladas suizas. Every single dish was mouthwateringly delicious--nothing fell short of spectacular. Even the service stood out; our waitress was outstanding and made the whole experience even better. The portions are generous, and what really sets this place apart is the seasoning. Each dish had its own unique twist that elevated it well beyond your standard Mexican menu. The slow-cooked meat in both the empanadas and birria tacos was incredibly tender--so good it kept us going back for "just one more bite" long after we were full. And the tomatillo sauce on the enchiladas? Easily the best I've ever had--and I don't say that lightly. I'm a bit of a tomatillo sauce snob, and this one completely blew me away. We're just visiting the area, but this quaint little spot--with its charming covered patio--left a lasting impression on our trip. If you're local, this should be in your regular rotation.
