We decided to give this place a try and went at lunchtime. Honestly, a great meal, relaxing environment and a friendly/speedy server. The food portions were large and came out hot and the restaurant is clean and decorated beautifully. Would recommend:)

Nice date spot. Went with a girlfriend and we had an enjoyable time. The food was spot on. Great service, and not many customers. Ordered shrimp tacos. 8/10.

Let me start by saying that this is the best Mexican food I’ve had to date. I had lunch here and everything was delicious. They start you off with complimentary chips and salsa, both made fresh. I ordered the rib eye tacos that came with 3 tacos covered with some grilled veggies and melted mozzarella cheese and it was spectacular. For our appetizer we had birria fries that were big enough to be a full entree. They were covered with pickled grilled onions, peppers and cherry tomatoes with cheese, needless to say it was delicious. My girl had a half slab of pork ribs with a mango habanero sauce and it was delicious, had just the right amount of heat and sweetness. Along with the other sides that came with the meals everything was delicious. I tried bone marrow for the first time here, it came on side my rib eye tacos. That was ok, I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to just eat the marrow right out of the charred bone or not, but I added it on top my tacos and it was ok, can’t really describe the taste, but definitely worth trying out if you haven’t already. We ended the day with some margaritas and they were delicious and left me with a slight buzz. I’ll definitely be eating here again soon. The prices are good and the service was A1
