"UPDATE: Despite my initial inclination to downgrade my overall rating from 5 stars to 4 stars due to the slow service provided by two employees at the bar on different days, I have decided to maintain my rating at 5 stars. My recent experience last Friday changed my opinion significantly. On that day, the presence of two exceptionally efficient and organized bartenders, Abby and Oneidra, left a lasting impression on me. Their synchronized teamwork and speedy service were truly impressive. These two individuals have reinstated my faith in this restaurant, and I look forward to future visits thanks to their outstanding service. What an absolute transformation since my last visit five years ago! I had sworn I'd never set foot in this place again, but I'm thrilled to report that everything has changed for the better. From the moment we stepped through the door, Alyssa and Jazmin, greeted us with genuine warmth and made us feel like cherished patrons. Their exceptional customer service set the tone for the entire evening. We opted to sit at the bar area, where Joaquin skillfully crafted a frozen strawberry margarita that surpassed my previous favorite from another Mexican restaurant. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was impeccable. From that moment, this establishment instantly claimed the top spot for margaritas in my book. And let's not forget to mention their fantastic happy hour, which runs from 3pm to 7pm every Monday Thru Friday. But the pleasant surprises didn't end there. The food experience was equally remarkable. The quality of the dishes was outstanding. Each bite was bursting with authentic flavors and made with fresh ingredients. The culinary team had truly elevated their game, and it showed in every dish we ordered. Overall, my return to this restaurant was nothing short of a revelation. The warm welcome from Alyssa, Jazmin, and Joaquin, coupled with the outstanding margaritas and delectable food, completely transformed my perception. This place has now become a go-to spot for me, and I can't wait to return and explore more of their culinary delights."

"Had a birthday party here, 8 adults and a couple of kids. The service from Dominic was fantastic, he was super helpful and patient. Food was typical mexican, everyone was happy. The only negative was that we were the only customers, so the atmosphere was quiet."

"I ordered online and walked over from the hotel. Order was ready when they said it would be. I ordered the shrimp enchiladas plate and beef nachos. Both were delicious, especially the enchiladas. I will definitely return the next time I'm in town."

"Enjoyed lunch with my family , food was average and the chimis are not worth getting. Service was slow and they were not busy. Ordered black beans with my red and green sauce enchiladas however only got red with the rice and no beans. Also music loud and hard to talk unless someone is sitting directly next to you"
