My family and I visited here on a random rainy Saturday night. We found the excitement we were looking for: live music - saxophone player walking amongst the crowd, great selection of tacos you create your own, and jarritos sodas. Our waitress was busy but still attentive to us. We appreciated that. We plan to visit again.

If you ask me how was the food. I think that question should go to a regular visitor. Personally, I liked the food and the way it was served. The bill was reasonable and Julie, a beautiful young woman helped me in ordering. We ordered nachos, tacos and fajitas. And a refreshing margarita. Believe me I have tried other Mexican restaurants too after that.

The place is decorated very nicely. The staff is friendly. The drinks are amazing (got non alcoholic mango mojito) and a spicy alcoholic jalepenorita. The chips and salsa are out of this world. Normally I get disappointed with the sad tasting salsa but this one had flavor. Kudos for a job well done. We ordered veg enchiladas with mole. There was a cauliflower dish and veg fajita stuffed pepper We came here again end of July 2023. Food was great.

Too many places rated high are a disappointment, this one definitely hit the mark! The dj was good, the waitress was attentive, the customizable tacos were cool, and the chips were actually free for once! If you’re in the area definitely stop by!

Great atmosphere, loved the paintings and other artwork inside. Amazing service, food came fast, fries are better than most places. The fat cactus burrito and the guacamole was great. The pork belly tacos were crispy and flavorful. a great place to dine in for dinner.

It's definitely a great spot to meet after work. The drinks are fascinating, and you will go for more. Their bartenders keep the area lively and friendly. I keep ordering the tacos and nachos.
