A very nice restaurant in a beautiful location. I visited with a group of eight for lunch, and we were seated quickly with only a short wait. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, with quiet music playing in the background. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. I ordered the birria machete, which I would rate an 8/10. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for good food in a peaceful setting.
I came here on a Thursday evening, and the place was pretty busy. The service was awesome, and the whole spot had a really fun energy to it. They’re also dog friendly if you sit out on the patio, which is always a huge plus. We ordered the nachos, and they were amazing. The portion was huge, fully loaded, and easily enough to share between the six of us. The margaritas were great too! They also have tons of TVs throughout the place, making it a great spot to catch a game or any event. Definitely a cool, laid-back place to enjoy good food, great service, and a fun atmosphere.
Super cool place to pre-game! We were seated right away and had our drinks come super fast! I got the burro bowl with birria... I ate it all! It was really good! My husband got the carne asada chimichanga burrito and he ate it so fast! Haha I also loved that our waitress asked if we wanted doubles right off the bat ✨️
The battered fish tacos were good. The street corn was underwhelming. Next time I’d get just the tacos. Also expensive - $30 after tax and tip for tacos & corn. Would give 3.5 stars
First time here on a Friday at 9pm, got seated right away, vibes are great, very attentive staff. You will not be disappointed here, the food, drinks, and service are AMAZING. Nelson and Madi thank you SO much for the exceptional service you both provided! Will be spreading the word about this place and will MOST DEFINITELY be back! PS GET THE NACHOS!
