Giving 1 star was too low because the effort was made.

Ordered the birria tacos which SLAPPED and my partner had tripe tacos which were also delicious. Salsa was also great. Service was lovely. Our server was very attentive and sweet. Will definitely come back!

“I wish I could rate this place higher than 5 stars.”
I wish I could rate this place higher than 5 stars. The food was absolutely incredible. We had breakfast items and we plan to return to try the rest of the menu. Great atmosphere and the service was fantastic. I cannot speak highly enough of this fantastic restaurant. We didn’t get a pic of our main meal, but did snap a pic of the incredible churros.

“Really fantastic ceviche.”
Really fantastic ceviche. I had the pescado and mixta toastadas (fish / a combo of fish, shrimp, and octopus). I got too excited and ate it before I could take a pretty picture, so the empty plate will have to do. The place is recently open so no alcohol, but that was good for me since my wife is a strict non drinker. Their tamarind drink is freshly made and exquisite (tart, sweet, perfect). Other food we had that was great - a taco and burrito (al pastor). Good size and very tasty for both. Also a steak fajita meal, it came out sizzling and smelling incredible, tasted great too.

“The food is so delicious.”
The food is so delicious. We had tacos, burritos, tacos de Jalisco (pictured here), ceviche, rice/beans, and huachinango (red snapper). We tried three of their salsas and these were just amazing. The service was friendly and the food exceeded expectations!! We will definitely be back. On Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays (I think) they have karaoke. Try this place!

Very Mexican style place, with a small stage and music, the food (steak) I order is nice, compared to other places, the steak is thick and juicy.

Fajita served with pan is super tasty, nice and dry! And I like the Tamarindo drink here. The sauce for the chips is quite spicy love it.

“the food here is absolutely delightful.”
the food here is absolutely delightful. i had recently dined in for a quick meal on my way from school with my cousin. best decision i could’ve made this week. when i first stepped in, staff was quick to grab us a seat and a menu. when we sat down we looked at the menu, there was so many appealing options. i had ordered the hamburguesa con queso, which was absolutely fantastic. the cheese melting on the burger was an excellent touch. my cousin had ordered la mojarra frita, it was served very nicely and she said it looked and tasted delicious. we will definitely come back here again.

“The food here is spectacular.”
The food here is spectacular! The camarones a la diabla is a must try, it was served very nice and neat, and most importantly was delicious. La tampiqueña is delicious, and my daughter highly recommends. Pescado sarandeado was delicious as well. The staff here is amazing, and your food is served within a good amount of time. Overall I recommend this place, definitely come try out the food here! It definitely won’t disappoint you!
