Super great & delicious food! Authentic Mexican cuisine! Steak nachos were great ! Daquiri yummy! Manager Haran had great energy & very friendly, respectful cares about his customers we even got complimentary white sangria!
Terrible service long hour waits & no communication, very unsanitary, please listen to the bad reviews it says a lot about how they run the business. STAY AWAY if you dont wanna get sick!!
WALKED IN & WAS COMPLETELY IGNORED while servers kept passing us off to each other. After being seated, we waited 40 MINUTES just to get WATER, & only after asking. The cups were FILTHY. Black oily residue came off when I touched the rim.
NO ONE checked on us. After OVER AN HOUR of being completely neglected, we walked out & went to a different restaurant.
If the front-of-house cleanliness & service are this bad, I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. NOT WORTH RISKING YOUR HEALTH. Would give zero stars if I could.

Food was amazing! We started off by having the nachos & guacamole then for our main dish we had the 3 tacos birria, french toast with ice cream & crème brûlée pancakes. The pancakes was pretty big so it would be enough for one person or to share among each other.
Overall, the staffs were very friendly & nice. They accommodate to all customers with respect! For sure will come back !
I ubered a burrito, & it was very good. I would have given 4 or 5 stars. But I ordered guacamole inside the burrito, & guacamole on the side also, & there was no guacamole.
Je suis assez déçue de mon expérience. À notre arrivée, on nous a dit de manière brusque que le restaurant était fermé, sans d'autre explication, après que j'aie passé 20 minutes à chercher du stationnement & fait un long déplacement.
En parlant avec le gérant, il m'a expliqué que la dernière table est servie à 22h. Je comprends, mais cette information devrait être clairement indiquée.
Finalement, le gerent dit a une serveuse de nous servir, & la serveuse a refusé de nous servir, en disant qu'elle n'allait pas demander à la cuisine parce qu'ils allaient la détester. Son attitude était très désagréable & donnait l'impression qu'elle décidait elle-même des règles.
Service was amazing & we loved the whole staff. All so nice, super friendly, stayed to chat & makes you feel like part of the family atmosphere. Will absolutely be back & cannot wait to come again.
