Great food and quick service. There is a long wait but it's worth it. I had the carnitas plate and was very happy with the flavor and temperature of the food
Absolute banger of a Mexican Restaurant. Peak service and ambiance. The food is the substance of legendary dishes from the furthest reaches of this Globe.
Good food and service. Nice ambiance, very well decorated. Authentic good Mexican food!
The weather was cold and it was nice to eat a warm dinner. The food was so good! And so plentiful. I had the chile relleno and my husband had the combo relleno and enchilada. I could not finish my dinner...the serving size was huge. Our server was pleasant and very attentive. The ambiance is average. All tables are booth...no parties larger than 5 can be seated together.
I wish the restaurant was a little bigger so the wait time for a table wasn't so long, but the food is great and the servers have been very friendly.
