Went for lunch , 6 of us. Seated no problem. I got the barria tacos for lunch. $8.50 for the plate in the picture. Phenomenal value!! AMAZING food.
I came on a Saturday night and it was pretty chill. The Bartender was great and the food was okay. The salsa wasn’t great - it was very watery which was disappointing but I’d come again to try something else.
This was out first time there and I had a stressful morning, so I was looking forward to relaxing at lunch. First, our waitress was so nice and of course very attentive. I wanted to recognize her but I didn't get her name. (We were there on 9/17/25.) A lot of great food choices and we were both very happy with the food and so much so we will be back to try it again!
I recently had dinner here and found the experience to be a mixed bag. While the ambiance was nice and created a pleasant setting for the evening, the overall experience left much to be desired. The service was slow—we had to wait 15-20 minutes just to get glasses for water, which was frustrating. The food itself was mediocre at best and definitely didn’t justify the high prices. For the cost, I expected better flavors and presentation. It’s a decent spot if you’re looking for a good vibe.
The food here is absolutely delicious. We had chicharron appetizers which were so crispy and flavorful. Husband had the birria taco plate which where STUFFED full of meat and I hand the Divorciado Chicken Enchiladas so I could try both the red and green sauces. Both great and full of flavor. Then to finish off the night we had a Slice of Horchata which was a light tender cake with a delicious cinnamon filling and topping. It was almost like a tres leches but not overly wet or too sweet. Can’t wait to go back and try more offerings.
