We sat on the patio with great, family friendly music and beautiful weather. The food and margaritas are great too. I had the mushroom and spinach burrito . Try this place. It's lovely!

We had a mix up with our waitress and who was suppose to serve us but the manager, Chris, took care of it and made it right. Molly, our waitress did a great job. I would highly recommend her.

Brian Burns

We've been eating here for years. Walked in today, masked up due to the recent uptick of COVID-19, and THEY WOULDN'T SERVE US. I can only assume they are anti-maskers. We won't be back.

Try the Juarez Street Tacos . They are delish!

We came here for the patio as it has the reputation for a great patio . While it is nice, it's still right next to a busy road , additionally a car wash is running every few minutes and it's loud .

Shawn-Marie Riley

The Stuffed Zucchini is awesome!!!

Food is bland and forgettable. Margaritas are premixed and awful. Good service . Cold beer and good Salsa is all that got going for them.

The queso was mediocre, but the rest was good. Ok atmosphere.

Brittany Johnson

Don't order el pastor tacos , they are dry and flavorless, the black beans are over salted, and the refried beans are just inedible.
