This restaurant just opened up about a month ago, so they are very new. The wait staff was very…read morefriendly. You get a basket of chips and a bowl of salsa when you are seated which was very nice. The salsa was very good, not spicy at all, which I prefer more spice but for those who don't prefer a lot it was good. I had a chicken chimichanga which came with Spanish rice, refried beans and the lettuce and tomatoes on the side. The chimichanga has a white cheese cream sauce on top. This place is clean, it is an older building so it's expected to have flaws. There is a good sized bar just past the seating area. I will be going again soon, so I will try more food and update this post.

The service was quick and attentive, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed for a Thursday evening. I'm amazed that this place isn't crowded all the time since the food is incredible.

Drove 2 1/2 hours because I really wanted to see what the hype was about but honestly not worth the…read moredrive . Drink was ok . I ordered seafood boil and it was ehhh . The potato and shrimp were overly cooked. I bit the potato and it was no good, way to soft like puree kinda I couldn't eat it plus didn't taste good . The shrimp looked like the Walmart shrimp same for the sausage small and overly cooked( sorry I always have seafood boils and never gotten small shrimp or sausage like I did here maybe it's just me but looked like the Walmart shrimp ) . Crab legs was good though . Also the girls were never rude but they need to be more welcoming barely smiling kinda serious all the time we didn't feel welcomed to be honest and didn't check up on us really and it was not busy that day , I understand when it's busy it's kinda hard but yeah definitely not busy when I went . The inside of the restaurant was really nice though I liked the vibes . But yeah not going again .

I'm used to a restaurant at home automatically adding. Both the pineapple and horchata were amazing. Prices were reasonable and i appreciate that they take cards. The girl that works inside the was super nice and helpful. They misunderstood me when I called and ordered 2 enchiladas, they thought it was 2 dinners but I happily took both and will heat up the other one later. It's worth the stop if you're craving some Mexican food.

Clean, fine, but a little weird. They do have some great art - not sure if they do it or it is sometype of purchased kit. They have beer and such, so it's fine. Definitely the food is merely average.

Great portions, really good flavorful food, and I am now completely obsessed with their pollo habanero dish. I asked for extra habanero if possible, honestly not sure if they did but it was certainly delicious and had a great spice level to it. Also whatever salsa they give with their quesabirria tacos is awesome too.

The waiter brought us water, margaritas, chips and salsa and our food very quickly. We were a large party and they got all of our orders correct. Certain dishes had a nice spice to them. I would consider the rice and beans, very standard for this area, but the main portion of the meal was good. I found the chips and salsa to be tasty. The margarita pitcher tasted as if it came from a Jose Cuervo or equivalent margarita mix, but it was good enough for the occasion.
