Sunidhi Gupta

Went with Mexican friend. Pretty authentic . And amazing drinks too. Huge portions . So order thoughtfully. However think before asking them to make your food spicy . They add some very strong chili

Adrian Puente

Get an Ilegal Mezcal if you are man enought. The Tortilla Soup is amazing. If you ask for the Pollo con Mole Poblano tell then to skip the fries and put some mole on the rice , you'll love it!

Jacqui McMenamin

Try to get a table by the windows so you can overlook Market Square. Also, make sure to try the queso and chips . Sangria and margaritas are delicioso!! A must try!

Connor

1) GET THE CILANTRO MARGARITA ! 2) ASK FOR THE HOMEMADE HOT SAUCE (it's pink/light orange habanero sauce . Super hot. Super delicious)

Timothy Cooper

Love the food. Everytime it never disappoints. Mahi mahi tacos are great. Guacamole is fantastic!

Dana Bee

The margaritas will rock your socks. The tacos del guero are amazing, but have a kick. For a little milder option, order the tacos checandole

Tania is a phenomenal server. The potatoes are TO DIE FOR. Favorite Mexican joint in the city , hands down.

Matt Madisetty

Forgot our food for an hour last year, and today had no idea Mexico was even playing, let alone in the Semis. And then didnt have Telemundo or Fox to watch it on. Not really sure what they're good for

Shorty

Authentic & delicious. Always top notch. Mole sauce is amazing.

Katie

Order a glass of horchata (cinnamon rice milk ) and drink it ICE COLD. It's not on the menu but its worth trying!

Michael Franklin

The food was very good. Get the chips and queso . But the service incredibly slow. Nearly 2 hours for dinner !

Michael Leahy

Sopecitos are excellent as is the sangria .

Shawn O'Brien

The Cancun burrito is bomb! Nia is AWESOME!

RJ Schmidt

During big events they might kick you out of your table after you pay, but they are super busy and they do let you just migrate to the bar .

Kelli Van ????

The queso is amazing and the tacos are pretty good! Just don't ever expect to see your waiter again after he takes your order. The service is pretty bad.

Sheila Tran

Pretty good. Friendly staff and love the tofu. The salsa bar is a little disappointing to spicy lovers and they seem to like to put tomatoes in everything (include guac). - Luna La Creme
