Ate there after seeing their drink specials sign outside (half off certain drinks on certain days). We had some large half off Mayan sunsets and split a dip trip w/ queso, guac, and salsa—all delicious! We all had a pretty cheap bill and leftovers from our large entrees Definitely will be back!

Service here was not good , server took a long time to get our appetizers and food. And when the food did come , most of it was wrong or missing, when we told the server it was wrong she said she would check the receipt which is weird because we know what we ordered . We didn’t get any refund on the 3 orders that were messed up. I’m ok with paying my food but at this point there was 3 orders messed up and we only changed one of them because we didn’t wanna take up even more time waiting .i don’t remember the servers name but she was tall Hispanic with glasses and brown/blonde highlights .Here are the pics

I got a pork plate, taco,burrito enchilada with rice and beans. The food had good flavor. Everything was lukewarm. My taco had hard reheated pork in it, I thought they were bones. Good atmosphere, clean, good service. I think all the businesses in that area are suffering from construction right outside their door. First Mexican restaurant were you didn't get chips and salsa. They were extra.

I like the Asada and Mahi tacos. Meat was tender and moist and delicious. I had Cancun soup was very light, refreshing, and tasty. My boyfriend got Large margaritas and he loved it while watching the birds outside. I had mango margarita and was very good. Love the Fajitas and tacos 🌮
