Delicious meal served quickly. Chips and salsa were fresh and they kept the chips coming. The meal was a benefit for Parkland School and well worth it. I had a tasty margarita and leftovers.

Great food n service, we love the nachos and Mexican tacos. We have eaten in the lounge and restaurant both are amazing and comfortable.

Everything was great! Great service,food, fair cost & expected ambiance. I choose the lunch menu and the quantity of serving was (take home) abundant.

Alex did a great job as our server. Very helpful and the taco dish he suggested was very good with the right amount of slice Thanks Alex

Amazing food and even better service Our server Alex was awesome I think we found our new favorite Mexican spot

Best TexMex I've been able to get on the west coast. The portions compared to pricing is good, I always live full and satisfied with a to go box. The service is also usually very warm and welcoming.

The food was really good and the neighborhood was definitely sketchy The customer service was amazing.

We eat here every so often and it's always great. We always eat in the bar and the service is wonderful in there. This last time we had two servers checking on us regularly. I had the carnitas which were so good and after eating half I still had a full meal for the next day. My boyfriend had "the Don" burrito and also liked it and had a to-go box too. Great Mexican food!
