Got us a jalapeno margarita and a strawberry margarita. Horrible. Get a sangria NOT A MARGARITA! The ambiance is great so this place could have potential. We ordered cheese curds and the jalapeno cornbread for an appetizer. The cheese curds were decent and the corn bread IS AMAZING. Only amazing thing we ate. The complimentary chips and salsa... the salsa tasted like Tostitos salsa from a jar. Not authentic. My two chicken tacos with corn tortillas fell apart. Nothing worse than tacos that fall apart. The burrito my husband had was extremely salty and my husband loves salt, so if he's saying this- take it into consideration. Bill was $75. Will not be back.

The reviews here seem to be very misleading... Service was prompt and friendly. However the food…read moreis a different story. I think it may be that the standards are alittle bit lower in these parts, but everything just tasted bland. I ordered table side guac, which is like $12 and some change, but it wasn't made table-side... it also tasted bland and the avocados tasted like they were in a fridge that was too cold. I make guac very often that I know when an avocado might be alittle too cold... it had that grainy texture and taste. I also ordered the steak fajitas... the steak was not really even steak, but probably more what I would describe as overly done sliced or shredded beef strips. I've had better steak at Chipotle. It was also bland. There was no flavor at all. The only flavors you got were from adding the beans and sour cream to your fajita. It was also really tough. I was pretty disappointed, because for some reason, I pictured a sizzling platter arriving at my table, and guac made at the table as well. I then ordered flan for dessert. It was also pretty disappointing. The flan it self might have been okay, but they drizzled chocolate on top of the flan, which really masked the flavor of the flan and made me wonder what were they trying to achieve by adding the chocolate. The caramel syrup is already sweet... You can also tell whoever makes the flan does not know how to make flan. Flan should be smooth and silky. It can be light or also more rich and velvety. This one had so many air bubbles that it gave me such a feeling of concern with every bite. Either the water from the water bath used in the oven spilled over or the temperature was too high that it caused the flan to boil. And then the final straw was the electronic fee... I'm not from around here but is this normal? It makes me wonder if this is something they should disclose or tack on to their food prices... Yeah I just did not feel it with this restaurant... Probably won't be back... It doesn't mean the food isnt good, but it's just my opinion and I've been to several restaurants...

The craziest sticker shock was the small cup of guacamole for 6 dollars. SIX DOLLARS?! This restaurant is conveniently located next to a grocery store where you could pick up all the ingredients to make your own underwhelming tacos for less than the 80 dollars we spent for 5 people. I insist you find another establishment to support. You can find much friendlier service and tastier food at a much better price.

We were here visiting extended family, and this was the first place we came based on it being close to the hotel. I was expecting the Americanized food. It wasn't. We spent a week in Mexico City last month. You could take this place, drop it into areas near Polanco CDMX and it would succeed. The rice was above normal. The refried beans excellent, and the food itself was excellent. The esquites were a standout.

Our chips and salsa arrived quickly, and drink order taken as well. My husband ordered the quesabirria, I ordered the carnitas and my uncle ordered the shrimp chimichanga. All our food arrived in a timely fashion! Although my husband's consume was on the colder side of warm, it still had great flavor. My carnitas were amazing. So tender and the plate had so many delicious options to make my tacos. The shrimp chimichanga looked delish, and if I get a chance to visit again I would definitely try it. The whole place was a bit loud, but I do believe that was due to the extra 30 teenagers helping staff for their fundraising event. It was not prohibitive of having a conversation. All in all, stop in! The staff is friendly and the food is good!
