I was hungry for Mexican tonight, so I stopped in and ordered the enchilada Verde. I ordered it to go and it was delicious. and my wait was only 15 minutes.The people were very friendly. I will definitely be stopping here again.

Expensive, but pleasant. The restaurant is dimly-lit, but in an aesthetically pleasing way that is a balm to light-sensitive eyes. The menu has a nice variety, so unless you're super picky you should find something that piques your interest. The average single-person meal + a drink will likely be around the mid-20s unless you get your pickings from the kids' menu (where a meal will be a little over 10 dollars with drink). Recommended to pay with cash, as a 4% discount is given if you do. I ordered the American-style street tacos (the Mexican-style has cilantro, and I unfortunately have the soap gene) with carne asada as the meat. It's three soft tacos, but you wouldn't know that from my image because I ate #3 before realizing that I should probably attach an image. Sorry. It's good. The cheese gives a nice pop of saltiness that I really appreciate. I don't know, I'm not a professional food reviewer. I'm just some random whitey eating tacos to fill the void. They also give you complimentary tortilla chips + salsa. Don't try to eat them in bed like I did; the chips will get angry at you. The girl at front was nice. Expect a mild wait to receive service, as the place isn't super staffed, so the cashier will likely slip into the kitchens when left idle to help out there. I remember when this place was more homely and whimsical. I sat across from my mom in a booth and we demolished the complimentary tortilla chips and salsa. I don't know what I got, but it was good and I was happy. I saw evidence that my mother had been a person before she'd had children. She should never have become a mom, or perhaps even a wife. Overall: good food, pleasant atmosphere. This place would be nice for a date, probably.

I was disappointed with our food for the price charged. I assumed this place would be great. The best items served were the chips, cheese dip, and the guacamole dip. My spouse enjoyed the wings and the five of us left the restaurant feeling we made a poor selection. Our server was excellent.

I truly was hesitant to try again after not a pleasurable experience with the previous owners. It’s been a good few years. Decided to try tonight with the new management with my daughter and was pleasantly surprised!! Noemi was our amazing server! She was on top of everything and managing several tables. I had steak fajitas and cooked perfectly with greta flavor. Will definitely be returning on the regular.

First time going here and the food was so delicious that we went back the next day. The portion size was big and the prices matched it. My wife and daughter had the Chicken soup and loved it. The bowls were big enough for them actually share! The birria burrito is had was delicious. Only complaint was the food came out a little slow but it was delicious.
