“ 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. ”
“ Went last night first time since remodel and its wonderful! Previously wasn't impressed but last night was amazing! I got rhe Quesabirria tacos with the consumme sauce. My husband got the Mega Burrito. Both were amazing! The house margaritas were also amazing and strong. Server was very friendly and sweet! 5/5 ”
“ What a great restaurant! We had the fresh guacamole and it was so good. I had the Bistec La Mexicana and the meat was so tender. My husband had Mix Three items and of of his food was so good too. Go here when you can! ”
“ 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. ”
“ Fantastic food and service. Best grilled chicken burrito I have had in years. ”
