“ Great atmosphere, cozy spot. They make fantastic tequila and mezcal mixed drinks, also they do rifts on some of your favorite drinks. The food was great, try the nachos to start. ”
“ Great food, I had the enchiladas and my wife had the chilaquiles. We are definetly coming back. ”
“ We were lucky enough to visit this restaurant the guacamole was some of the best I ever had, top 3 for sure. I got the ribeye and the taluydas which was massive could easily be a meal for two. The prices were incredibly reasonable for the food. When we visited the owner was there with the family eating on his own, he greeted us and cleared our table. Really nice family and man! ”
“ Come for the quesabirria and stay for the vibe (and the coco tres leches cake). My review is long overdue, but better late than never! I went with some good friends and we all enjoyed every bite of what we ordered. They ordered the mole enchiladas and I got the quesabirria tacos. These are BY FAR the most delectable quesabirria tacos you will ever have. Try them! You will thank me. Also, their black beans are delicious! I don't really drink so I had their pina colada mocktail and it was YUM. I was probably too full for dessert, but I had to get a slice of the coco tres leches. My friends had the oreo one, so I got to try both, but I preferred mine. Honestly, it was one of the best meals I've had and I will likely repeat it. Lastly, the music was great. I asked if it was a Pandora or Spotify station and they said it was their own compilation of customer and staff favorites. Anyway, the food and the atmosphere was a whole vibe. I highly recommend it! ”
