Very authentic tasting food. Wide variety of selections on the menu. Very festive and inviting ambiance. Service was super friendly and very attentive. We had camarones a la diabla, a nicely and comfortably spicy shrimp in tomato sauce. Also had a cheese and spinach enchilada. Spinach one was a bit too salty but they quickly offered to make it right or take it off the bill which was nice. If in the area we will visit again.

We've eaten here twice and love it! The food is amazing, with a few items I've never encountered elsewhere. They have good vegetarian offerings and the staff have always been wonderful. New favorite place for real Mexican food! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Quesadilla

I've been going here for awhile. Almost every time I come I'm a bit more impressed than the last time. They aren't stingy with the horchata here which I really appreciate. The food is always fresh and delicious. I hope this place stays this good forever! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Steak

After reading the reviews, of which were all favorable, I decided to give them a try, and I ordered the Tacos Chaparral, and for my wife 2 steak 🌮s to go, and the food was good but 🧂ty as the ocean. No complimentary sour cream was provided, which would've cut the salt just a little. I battle with high blood pressure, and after eating just one out of the 3 🌮s, I've been chasing it down with bottles of 💧 to hopefully flush out all the 🧂. I'm not sure if I'll be back, but based on the reviews, maybe a 2nd visit is possible in the future. Perhaps I caught them on an off night or something. I feel like I wasted my hard earned $40. Life goes on! #oneunhappyvet on Veterans Day, and a not so great or impressionable first-time experience. 😔 Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50 Food: 2 Service: 4

I must say the food was good but the portion size on the enchilada plate was way too small for the price. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and I enjoyed the Mexican music. The reason for the two stars is this: After we were seated, I was looking at the margarita menu and thought it was odd that their menu doesn't have a description for the ingredients/recipes for the margaritas. Because of that, I asked the waiter what kind of tequila they use. He responds by saying it's a house tequila. Fair enough right? Not so. The margarita comes, I taste it and immediately thought something is off as it tasted like lemonade with ZERO tequila. A different waiter comes by our table, so I asked him if he can give me a shot of tequila so I can add it to my drink because it tasted weak with no tequila. He proceeds to tell me "ma'am, we don't have tequila." We put wine that tastes like tequila in our margaritas. I said "Are you SERIOUS?" When our original waiter came back by the table, I asked him about this wine that they put in their margaritas. It was only then that he explained that they don't have a liquor license so they can't serve tequila. So again, the reason for the two stars is I don't appreciate being lied to. A restaurant that advertises that they have Margaritas but are not fully transparent that the Margaritas don't have tequila in them is false advertisement. To make matters worse, they have the audacity to charge what you would pay for a premium margarita for a drink that is NOT A MARGARITA. My suggestion to this restaurant is to be TRANSPARENT and change your menu and call the drink what it is: WINE. Or call it a WINE BASED MARGARITA. Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5

We tried the shrimp tacos, steak tacos and a chicken enchilada with rice and beans. Ok my husband SHRIMP tacos stole the show they were flavorful & a nice size ! My steak tacos although great presentation we're lacking flavor. They were bland unfortunately. The chicken enchilada was more flavorful but I tried the green Verde sauce instead of the red sauce which I prefer more but I tasted the chicken alone and it was good. The 🌟 of the show was Shrimp tacos and I don't even like shrimp 🤣. The DRINKS are Strong! We had Pina Coladas ! Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
