Nice décor, good margaritas, decent food. Honestly, though, I did a little warm/stuffy inside, so much so that we cut our dinner short. Tacos are OK, but there's better Mexican restaurants around. I find it very pricey for what you get. 140 bucks for some tacos, salsa & chips, & a couple drinks...Seems a little extra extra.

We came here before the renovations & new menu which at that time the food & atmosphere was already good but I must say that you have outdone yourselves! The place looks even better; the colors & decorations are beautiful & relaxing along with the Mexican music in the background. We are transported to Mexico without leaving here! Your new menu is even more delicious & we like the new choices. We are for sure returning & bringing the family too! Wishing you a continued success! See you again!

Awesome & authentic food! Not your typical, Americanized, Mexican restaurant. Quaint little place, decorated with all the charm that the Mexican culture has to offer. If you like Mexican, you can't go wrong.
