We went in for a late dinner after shopping. They were closing g in one hour and we were served quickly and enjoyed the atmosphere, service, and food.

Food was good, service was fast and competent. Prices reasonable. Glad it came up in our search for food when passing through town. I would visit again if I'm ever in the area.

Amazing atmosphere friendly staff each meal affordably priced. Loved the fish I order I have gotten it twice now. It’s delicious!! However their rice needs work it’s tasty but not cooked properly. I was also not a fan of he Caldo de Res.

Just left here and that's the last time. We ordered two plates with over easy eggs and the eggs arrived so ungodly overcooked like the guy set a egg timer to 2025. We told the waitresses and we waited for 4 more eggs and I'll be damned if 2 of them weren't the same damned way. So I wound up not eating. By that time, the other plate had worked it's way to a nice arctic temperature, so that didn't get eaten either. We asked for the manager and she managed to run to the kitchen and hide while she sent the waitresses to tell us that we had to pay for one or the plates even though it was inedible and almost untouched. The waitresses was nice and understanding, but the female manager has NO business "managing" if she doesn't understand the parameters of her job which is not sitting at the bar eating. Also, perhaps they can find someone that can cooks eggs better than a 2 of 8 ratio. He cooks eggs like bronny james shoots the 3!

We're in town for a Con and we stopped here to get lunch. This place was absolutely delicious, my wife got enchiladas Verdes and I got the Molcajete del Mar. From the service to the vibes to the food, it was all great! If I ever come back through here, we're eating here again!

I like fajitas well done. It adds a grill flavor to fajitas that compliments the dish. This is one of the few restraunts that actually understands the request "well done" and cooks it to perfection. Their chicken fajitas are heaven. Really enjoyed my meal there. Also modestly priced. The staff is fast, Friendly and efficient and the salsa is some of the best I've ever had.

The decorations there are very inviting and give a nice vibe to the whole place. The servers were also very friendly. There are various mariachi bands that seem to come in and out at different times. The food is awesome, except the queso. It was kinda watery and hard to eat, so we didn't finish it. The chips were good though. I had the fajitas and they were perfect. I would definitely come back to try more of the menu.

Didnt get to eat after 45 minutes inside the restaurant. The waitress walked past our table 3 time before I asked was she our waitress. Then I asked for horchata back to back and she didnt understand me. I had to leave before I got more frustrated than I already was. I will not be coming back..

Ordered combo fajitas, and it only had 3 pieces of beef and chicken with 4 shrimps. The rest of the plate was full of onions and bell peppers. I dont recommend this restaurant.

Unfortunately, they served reheated food to everyone and the sauce on the chips was bad. The vegetables on the plates were somewhat squashed from days old. Chopped molcajete was cold and depending on what day it was.

February 22, 2024

Beware read: Waitress and food were great. However they charged our card once the day of for correct amount then the next day for a different amount. Refused to refund said it happens all the time blamed it on their machine but wouldn t refund. Ended up having to reverse the charges with bank. Sadly despite good food I won t be back because of their unwillingness to make it right and would recommend if you eat here pay cash.

Our food was cold. The waitress couldnt hear anything we asked for. She brought us the wrong tortillas. We had asked for flour and she brought us corn tortillas. And then decided to tell us we were wrong and she brought the right tortillas , and say we had asked for corn tortillas which was incorrect. I know what we asked for. We usually come here every other Sunday, but the last three Sundays ,the food has not been that great. We asked for a cheese dip and the cheese dip was also cold. The only thing that was actually hot were the chips. Everything else was cold or warm. We wont be coming back.
