Great spot. I've only had the shrimp tacos but they were very good. From the tortillas, to the shrimp and the generous portion of guacamole on the tacos. Would absolutely go again and try something else.
Very good place very cozy the food incredible the service very good always checking on people. I recommended this place.
Good food, fresh made. Good flavors, good music.
We ordered the Tuesday special, which was pork ribs ($14.99) and pupusas ($4 each)The sauce and beans that accompanied the ribs were great, very well seasoned. The tortillas were epic and really good.The portion of ribs was underwhelming, a very small portion of meat once the bones were out, like 5 or 6 bites. They were tender though.The pupusas tasted good, but they were small as well. I gotta agree with the other reviews that mentioned that.Overall, this place is over rated... Better restaurants in town.
Atmosphere was quiet food was good...service was a little slow but overall great experience for a last minute lunch spot
This place has some excellent food (we loved Al Pastor tacos, chicharron pupusa, Camarones el Diablo). Service is excellent, fair pricing. The coffee flavored Flan was a pleasant surprise. I hope to visit again.
Great food and atmosphere! The staff are very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend if you are looking for a sit down dinner. My husband and I sort of over did it on food lol.
Great staff and super friendly! Awesome selection of authentic Mexican food. I loved the quesadillas they had here with pineapple the most! I definitely will come here again.
