We had a great experience! The service was excellent and our waiter, Armando, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home (he was also very charismatic). Jesus, who was helping take our dishes away once we were done with our food was also very kind and respectful. My sister and I shared the mixed appetizer, which was perfect for two and really tasty. The drinks were also well-made and hit the spot. Definitely recommend and would come back again! - Sam Sam

For food, start with the appetizers. The House Made Guacamole with Chips is a classic and a great way to begin your meal. The Mixed Appetizer is also a great choice, especially for sharing with a group. When it comes to tacos, the Carne Asada and Short Ribs tacos are highly recommended for their rich, savory flavors.

For something with a bit more of a kick, the Chicken Poblano Enchiladas are a great choice. While some may find certain dishes to be on the blander side, a simple request to add a little extra spice or a side of hot sauce can easily elevate the flavor. The generous portions and the lively atmosphere make any choice from the menu a great part of a fun night out.
