We had a reservation at 8 and they were an hour behind but due to the lateness we got a round of drinks and appetizers on the house But their food was amazing and they made sure we were taken care of

Great food and service. Not easy to find though! Next door to the back entrance of LLBean, facing I Pic. They have a mole of the week! All your server to try it.

Kati Harrison

Great food, service, ambiance. Loved all of it. Steak with mole xico! Fabulous attention to detail by all staff . Go eat here now!!

The interior is great, all those details like Mexican Wrestling Masks, Sugar Skulls, wooden barrels make everything look authentic . Food is good as well .

I had a burrito that was awesome. I couldn't get enough of the salsa and chips .

If the live cantina band is playing, try to get a seat away from them. The trumpets are a bit loud . Good music thou

Love the salsas for the chips , the tortilla soup was very good & my meal was fantastic! I will be back. :)

Recommend: Try the Fajitas Estilo Mago. The sauce has a nice heat. Be sure to have corn tortillas .

Excellent margaritas and fun to watch the guacamole be made by your table

Guacamole is delicious! Food takes forever to arrive at table and service still has a few kinks to be worked out but hopefully they'll get it together eventually.

Service was slow. The food was just okay, not worth the wait or $$ Server had to ask "how much change should you get?" Not planning to go back. If you have a large group...forgetaboutit!

Guac is great. Service is slow. Food is mediocre. A one time experience for me.

Sucks! This place doesn't honor walk-ins. It's like a 45 mn wait eventhough there are bunch of tables open!
