Wow. This place is great. Everything tastes slow-cooked and fresh. Best quesadillas ever. Big portions , strong drinks , nice staff , good prices. Worth a walk from Sox stadium after or before game.

Carne asada was on point..tender..juicy and full of flavor!! Cute place..great friendly fast service . We enjoyed our dining experience :)

Oriana

The most tender steak tacos I've ever had. Could use a bit more flavor but an overall 9.5. The margaritas are FUEGO. Peach is my fav. ????

Super flavorful steak & chicken !! Loved the guac & refrained beans too! Service was friendly & welcoming.

Do not get the jumbo margarita unless you have a designated driver or $10,000 to bail yourself out of jail and pay your DUI lawyer . It is the bomb!

Food is great but very lousy service. They offer margaritas but only serve lime on the rocks. I don't think I'll ever return because of the service. ????????
