Love this place. Consistent and customer service is superb. This is the go to place for some good affordable food. Family atmosphere and the music is great. The white sauce with the chips is my favorite. The salsa is really good as well. Oh did I forget to mention they have drink specials on draft beer .

My wife and I , came here 3-18-2018. We start with salsa and chips, if you want the hot salsa you have to ask for it. The chip was not the best chip I have had , but not bad either (I guess average). The standard red salsa was very good, I mixed the red salsa and the hot salsa that way it was hot with out setting me on fire. Then we had a plain cheese dip, it had a good flavor but it's not a spicy cheese dip, so anybody that does not like spicy would love the cheese dip. I had the fajita poblano, it came out frying hot on a pan, just the way it should be. It comes with beef, chicken ,onions ,Poblano's and light tomatoes. The beef and chicken is good quality not the standard jerky chicken and beef that you get from the lower quality Mexican restaurants. My wife had the Texana fajita quesadilla, it comes with chicken shrimp and beef, she loved it. Another plus is their tea is a good Southern sweet tea not too sweet , just perfect. The decor is very nice, again not the standard cheeky kind of lower end Mexican decor, to me it had more of a Aztec flare. The waist staff little younger ( not a bad thing, just observation) very polite and very energetic.The bottom line we find our new Mexican favorite restaurant.

Great food, great decor and good service. We sat outside under the covered area. The waitress never came back to check on us after the food came. I had to go find her to get the check. The food was good and the beer was better.

First time visit. Loved it. Staff was welcoming and drinks and food were perfect. We only had drinks & appetizers as it was mid-afternoon & we had been hiking. Definitely planning on returning. Loved the way it’s decorated. Beautiful paintings/etchings.

shrimp tacos are delicious! beautifully designed and decorated restaurant. The guacamole fresca is wonderful, freshly made and very tasty. Delicious dinner tonight - chili Verde and street tacos chicken...yum fresh and tasty. Plenty even for leftovers, which we love. The carnitas are also excellent. I frequently get those too in tacos, or the chili verde carnitas. Had carnitas with whole beans. Perfectly cooked.

This was my first time trying this place and it definitely was a vibe! The atmosphere was super cool with the decor and really comfy and unique seating areas. The food & drinks were absolutely delicious! I tried the chicken taco salad along with the spicy peach margarita. The staff were super friendly and on top of things! We are definitely coming back!

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant. I could eat here everyday. I have it at least three times a week. I have never ever been disappointed good is always so good hot and freshly made. And it doesn’t take long of a wait at all.

Soooo good! The guacamole salsa stuff is amazing. Tastes super fresh and comes with chips. Got chicken enchiladas and subbed fries. Delicious fries and mini churros for desert. Will be a staple place for Mexican cravings.
