It's a LOUD place, good food, good service, but there music is ALWAYS WAY TO LOUD!!! ALWAYS!!! blaring it!, so if you want a peaceful relaxing lunch/dinner you won't like it unless your in to VERY LOUD music, we went on June 19th sat far away from the bar and the music from the soccer game was so loud my plates were moving on the table and my ears hurt, unreal, and I've been to rock concerts and it was so loud we won't go again, and the shorter older gentleman manager walks around not speaking English just watches you kind of creepy must be a relative to the owner as he just stares at you standing there...strange, definitely NOT a relaxing meal, I had to get ours to go it was to way to loud!

Customer service was awesome. The food was good but 2 of the 5 meals were cold when they arrived at the table. The atmosphere was very family friendly.

Amazing atmosphere! Picture worthy all around! All the staff is attentive and friendly. Service is impeccably quick! The food is always consistent and delicious! Sangria and margaritas are awesome too! Highly recommend! Chile rellanos and carnitas street tacos are on point!
-
Excellent Mexican food at reasonable prices. I judge Mexican restaurants first by their chips and salsa, both of which were perfect. The guacamole was chunky and tasted great, as did the tortilla lime soup. An attentive and competent waiter served us... Definitely recommended 👍🏼

Justin, our sever was great, very attentive and kind. The restaurant atmosphere was absolutely awesome and the music was on point 🎵💃 I had a skinny mango margarita and it was absolutely amazing 🍹. For entrée we had Steak Tampiqueno y Fajitas Garibaldi (Chicken) so tender, juice and so much flavor. Definitely, super recommend, can't wait to come back 😊

Really nice place

Love the food and drinks. It is a combination of restaurant / sports bar, with TVs lined up in the high table section. If there's a soccer match on, it can get pretty loud, so don't expect quiet ambiance during popular sporting events. The food is good with generous portion sizes. Be hungry!
