The food here is good and elevated from the usual Mexican fare. Hubby loved the tacos and I had the enchiladas. Spicy but not too. Portions were large ( had enough for leftovers) and it was a good value. Our waitress was "lights on-nobody home" iykwim. Everything we asked for-a Glass for my beer, a fork, extra napkins-had to be mentioned again and sometimes again. I know all businesses are still struggling for help so I didn't really take off points. Bottom line, I wouldn't go way out of my way for it, but a great neighborho... read more

We actually really liked this place. We got the plant-based options and they were delicious. We even contemplated bringing our families here too but ultimately decided against it because I thought their oily chips would give my parents a heart attack. We haven't been back for the same reason. 

Business response:

Hello - thank you for your compliments on our vegan and vegetarian options. We strive to have a menu that is accomodating to all. I am sorry to hear you had greasy chips - we do make our chips in house and keep them under a warming light to help this exact problem. Im the future please just ask for a new basket and we would be happy to do so! Thank you

Tried this place with some friends a few days ago. They had a few vegetarian options and I tried the vegetarian burrito. The potions were huge, but felt like the flavor was a bit lacking. I was hoping for something a little more flavorful/spicier. It definitely felt hearty (lots of veggies), but didn't feel spicy enough. I also tried their guava margarita, which was yummy! 

Business response:

Hello - Thank you for the kind words regarding the drinks and portions! We strive to have a menu that offers many vegetarian portions. I am sorry that your burrito was not spicy enough for your. We make a mild green chili sauce for the burrito itself however we do have homemade hot sauces. Feel free to ask your server or bartender for some on your next visit!

Great tacos! The breading on the shrimp had a hint of sweetness. The steak was tender and the pork shoulder has great flavors.
