“Love the seasoning on the steak , THE DRINKS ARE SO GOOD !!!! I will come back more often , love our server Nora !!”
“Love this restaurant! I’ve come here for years for their delicious margaritas. Yesterday I went in and had a delicious mango margarita and camarones empanizados. 10/10. The service was great. Definitely recommend”
“Food is excellent 👌. Drinks 🍸 😋 are good. Must stop by and take a bite.”
“This place is a hidden gem. The servers were so kind and welcoming. We were with our grandmother and she has some particular wants. They were so willing to meet it. It made her day. The food came out fast and was delicious.”
“Nice and cozy and food was good. Every day they have a special.”
“Era mi primera vez buscando comida mexicana en el vecindario, soy de Texas mi esposo y yo pedimos los tacos al vapor yo personalmente les doy un 7/10. No estaba mal pero hubo algo que no me termino de convencer 😔 la salsas estaban ricas, las aguas frescas también, el menu es amplio estoy segura que quizás probando algo mas encuentras buena opción. El servicio fue excelente!! Quizás en otra visita le de una nueva oportunidad”
“The place is small but the server was super nice and helpful. Keep coming back for the carne en su jugo and quesadillota. The music is not as loud as it used to be, which is great so you're not screaming. I hear the pozole is good. I'll let you know...so I've finally had the red pozole, it's very flavorful and very spicy hot. I love spicy food, so I loved it, but if you don't like that level of heat, don't order it. Sorry. I didn't get a pic.”
“De verdad que no recomiendo este lugar para nada , es la segunda vez que tengo una mala experiencia con ellos , y eso ponen en n duda su higiene al preparar los alimentos! Compré unas quessabirrias y al morder mi primer bocado me salió un trocó de rosa 🥀, si un pedazo de palo de rosa … me hace pensar en su método de preparación y higiene así que eviten gastar dinero en este establecimiento sucio”
“Delicious food, big portions, great service. I got the chilaquiles and they were delicious! The cafe de olla is sweet and fragrant. I will be back soon”
