Cute place. Food was good, easy parking. Our only complaint was based off miscommunication. When we sat down, we asked for a drink menu and he said they didn't have one. So we asked him what they had - we knew we wanted margaritas haha! He said they had it and we asked how much. He told the table "I don't know, like $10" and we asked him what kind of margs they had. He said mango and peach, so we ordered two. Not sure what was going on but he seemed unsure, maybe new employee, or maybe a bad day? Another person came over, really sweet girl. She said they only had enough mix for mango so we asked again what flavors. She said strawberry so we got two more. She came back with three VERY LARGE margs. I felt like we were in heaven. Well, that's when the bill came. We were shocked that the margs were $18 and paid almost $60 for drinks - one friend mentioning we should have just ordered a pitcher! Had we been told it was $18, we would haven't ordered them at all and gotten something else. I really wish they either had a menu, given us the $10 margs, or the girl and guy server communicated together. No ones fault but just know these margs are $18...

A sweet authentic Mexican spot! It really feels like you could be in Mexico when you walk in! Don't expect a fancy and done up spot, this is a decent establishments with decent Mexican food! The margaritas are amazing. They taste very fresh and delicious! I got the steak fajita and tamale. It was all great but my one comment is that the steak was tough to chew, otherwise, it was all delicious and this is a solid place to go for Mexican food. I definitely would go back for the margaritas.

Loved the food. Appreciated the service. Liked the music and would like it even better if it weren't so loud. Adjust the volume on the music so that conversation can be enjoyed over what really is very tasty food and I'll be happy to give a five star review next time.

I stopped in for a late dinner about 30 minutes before they closed. I got chili relleno and two pupusa revuelta. They were both good and the waitresses were very nice.

I've been going to this restaurant for over 10 years. Owner and staff are very friendly. I primarily get the fajitas, steak and or chicken. Both are very good. I prefer the refried beans but they have other options also. Chips and salsa are a free appetizer And are very very good.

The customer service was impeccable. My husband and I came in and the staff welcomed us with open arms. They were truly accommodating. I love horchata and theirs were simply the greatest. We ordered Salvadoran enchiladas, which were packed with fresh ingredients and flavor. It was also nice they gave me my food when it was ready first. Our server/bartender said they didn't want the baby to wait lol. Im 9 months pregnant. He offered food recommendations for us as well and making sure I can have the food without it upsetting my stomach. Very thoughtful. My husband got the Mexican steak and he thoroughly enjoyed it. It was the extra care in the staff and delicious food that will make it an easy decision for us to return after baby has arrived! Thank you so much!

Still love this place for some good papusas or Salvadoran breakfast. We came by specifically for that. The combination of eggs, chorizo, beans, plantains , avocado, cheese and fresh tortillas is just perfect. I always enjoy the fresh chips and salsa,which tends to fill me up. The horchata is probably one of my favorites in the area.

Great chips and salsa. We were provided two different types of salsa and was told that one was their spicy one. However, I don't think either of them are spicy. I'll never complain about complimentary chips and salsa, as this is often how I'll judge a Mexican restaurant. BOMB salsa is always important. My attempt to have a healthy lunch was getting the chicken salad, which comes inside a deep fried shell LOL. I'll admit that I ate the entire salad, along with the taco shell. J Great dining experience overall. I'll gladly come back for another meal. Fair prices, great service and large parking lot. Can't beat it.
