Food was good. Wasn't busy when we got there but by the time we left, most of the tables were full. Service was good. They do have beer and margaritas. The restaurant was pretty small I didn't feel like I was sitting on top of anybody. Food came out really fast after ordering it the chips and salsa were good....I would recommend...

We have eaten Mexican food all over the states. This was the best we've ever had. Our server was Victor, and he was great! I don't think it's a hidden gem. It was so busy! You won't be disappointed!

Very good authentic Mexican food. Sizzling hot fajita was very tasty, great portion size and price (shrimp, chicken, and steak). Small margarita was tasty. Free fresh crispy chips and salsa came out immediately upon arrival. Quick & attentive service. Server was friendly (note: English outside of menu is not the best but that is okay). Plenty of parking. Clean and nice ambiance.

Fantastic food. My wife had the camaron mexicano, I had the tapatio burrito, my child a kids burrito and we had some nachos. Everything tasted wonderful The service was FANTASTIC. The wait staff were very attentive, and extremely nice and happy. I would go back just because of the staff.
