Fastest service! Our server was great, and it seemed like she took our order and brought our food five minutes later. The chips provided were fresh and warm--always a plus in Mexican restaurants.

Great authentic place! Service was great and the menu was solid! About the menu- a lot of times everything at a Mexican restaurant is relatively "brown" not here- stuffed avocados, lots of meaty salads, we had the beef and chicken fajita and split it. Really liked the whole time!

First time here. This place is on it! Sat down and within 60 seconds I had some hot tortilla chips, salsa and a drink in front of me. Few minutes later I placed my order and within five minutes I had a hot plate of enchiladas to eat. Friendly and efficient and great prices. I’ve been passing this place for three years. Finally stopped in. I will be back

I've been here several times, and the food, drinks, and service is always excellent. I highly recommend the lava bowls! They are fantastic.

Great street tacos! I always dread going to family style Mexican restaurants, you usually pay more for a basic boring taco with a plate full of filler. But, this place has delicious and well priced tacos. About 2 a piece with many meats. Chorizo looked so good I ate one before I got my phone out for the pic. Cabeza and carnitas were hood, chorizo was great- but the Al Pastor were so good I had to but 3 more. Amazing Al Pastor tacos. Tortillas and salsa verde were both great. Nothing lacking.

SO DANG GOOD! The street tacos are such a good price for the quality! I loved the fish taco. The raspberry margarita was delicious and the chips and salsa was fresh. I am SO glad we stopped here! I will definitely be back the next time I visit. I just wish they had black beans! :)
