    Took my sister and niece who were visiting from out of state for dinner and they loved it!!! We had the chips and guac which was perfect!! Chips had just the right amount of salt. Chicken empanadas were so delicious we wanted more!! Between us all we had fish, shrimp, chicken and carnitas tacos. All were fantastic but my personal fav is the carnitas. Pineapple margarita also personal fav!! Love this place every time I’m here!!

    Tacos were good (I had the pollo rojo and fish tacos). Margueritas were overly tart. We got seated at a small table by the window, emphasis on small. Barely big enough to accommodate plates for two. Service was good. Place was pretty busy when we were there, but the noise level was moderate. We didn't have any tequila but their selection looked great.

    Food and service were great but table seemed like they just threw it in a corner to make an extra spot. Crammed against an exit door with the fire alarm right next to my head.

    Nice casual place. Service was top notch. The dinner for two for $49 is a great deal. Went during Blink weekend; somewhat crowded but the staff was up to task. Food was different from the standard Mexican fare; cocktails were top notch and the quantity can be described as value sized

    Our server last night was very friendly, but he must have more tables on the other side of the restaurant because we didn't see him very often. I was with a friend and two tweens, and the one thing I wish our server had done was mention that several of the things that the kids ordered were a little spicy. There were three things ordered that the kids couldn't enjoy. The adult food was awesome! I highly recommend the taquitos and the queso poblano empanadas.
