Excellent food with amazing, friendly staff. Get the large guacamole side - it's our favorite. Been so many times, they already know what I want when I get there!
This was our 1st time eating here and I think I found a new favorite! The food, was fresh and so flavorful. The chairs brought so much color to the space. Our server was great all around. I highly recommend this spot.
We ordered the mocajete and natchos. The molcajete Was hot and full of flavor. It fed 2 people. The natchos are huge, more like an entree than an appetizer but tasted so fire, we ordered the steak one and it was so juicy and full of flavor. Food was amazing, and although there was no drink menu, the employees did inform us they had a kind of open bar. would definitely go back when in the area lol
I went on a Daddy Daughter date with my two daughters and found this place by mistake after going the wrong way down Panama. That wrong turn led us here and we are happy that it did. I'll leave my review in 3 parts. Server - Our Main server was Maria and she was an AWESOME server . Aside from Maria there was a sweet older woman who came right over to our table not 2 minutes after we sat down and brought us chips and salsa and took our drink order. Which came out like 30 seconds later. This woman needs a raise. I didn't see her stop running back and forth the entire time I was there. Ok, back to Maria. Maria was awesome. She was quick to take our order and get it out to us. Every single time she passed by our table, she made sure to ask if we were good. She even asked if we needed refills while our cups were half full. Nobody does that anymore. Her service was impeccable and she was super attentive to us. As we were cleaning up she even made sure to ask us if we wanted drinks to go. Which we did . So, if you read this, Maria, THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR FIRST VISIT THERE ONE TO REMEMBER. There was also a dude running around with a tablet who also was making sure everything was good at our table. I appreciate that also. Location - The location is bright, colorful and they have ample seating. They even have a patio. We didn't get to enjoy that because it was pouring rain outside, but it looks like it would be a nice spot to eat outside. The temperature in the restaurant was great. Cold as hell outside, but inside it was a comfortable temp. They had 3 TVs playing 3 different things. Basketball, hockey, and football. None of which I care for, but I like the choices. The place is clean. Like, really clean. I appreciate that and you can tell that the girls working there do a great job at keeping everything neat and ready to go. Food / Value - Now. For the food. My bill was $72.14 (for food) ($100 total with tip). Me and my daughters ordered. Bean and cheese burrito plate. 2 Enchiladas combination plate. Shrimp Fajitas. Complimentary chips and salsa. The chips and salsa were fire ! 🔥 Warm chips and the salsa was fresh too. No complaints there at all. My plate. (Shrimp) came out steaming hot on a skillet with a side plate of rice, beans, guacamole. And the portions were huge ! Same goes for the other two plates. As soon as me and my daughter's seen the plates we said - "Yeah this is about to be good" and it was. Everything was flavorful, hot, and I think my Shrimp were on steroids. Those things were HUGE. Also they tasted so good. All of the food was really good. My daughters commented that their food was super good and they enjoyed all of it.
We got the tacos which were just okay. Didn’t like the shell, the texture was very weird. It was like the deep fried stale tortilla. The beef was off putting and mushy. But the rice and beans were good. Also the shrimp ceviche was amazing! Very delicious.
