Had lunch on the patio, the weather was excellent. My daughter and her Fiance were in my party. Our waitress name was Corena. Had salsa and chips to begin, our waitress was very polite and helpful. Our food arrived hot, fresh, and plentiful. No complaints from our party. Great atmosphere, we will see you all very soon... Thank you for a wonderful lunch

Had a taste for Mexican food!!! Visiting nieces and nephews in midtown. My niece chose Margaritas!!!!! Great atmosphere, service and Delicious Food!!! Check out the pics!!! I just forgot to take a pic of my Chimichanga!!! It was Sooooo Good that I got carried away!!!!

Came in for lunch on a Thursday and was pleasantly surprised. Rainy day and it was slow. The all you can eat lunch special is a bargain and the first rendering will fill anyone except a football or rugby player. I enjoyed it and will be back.

The food was excellent, but they overcharge if you pay with a card. The staff seemed indifferent, especially since I was the last customer. They also automatically add an 18% gratuity and charge extra on the bill for card payments. The atmosphere and music are great, though. I hope they can improve their service and fix the overcharging issue.

The waitress was extremely nice and attentive. The food was basic Tex-Mex and prices not too bad. The view of mid-town from the windows is amusing & confusing.

Genuinely the best Mexican cuisine I’ve had IN. MY. LIFE. Ladies and Gents if your new in town PLLEEEAASSEEE stop by cause everything they got is fresh, hot and really hits the spot.

I don't feel comfortable giving a full review yet, as we came on a sleepy Thursday afternoon and were in a bit of a hurry. Having said that, we did enjoy the experience and will return. The food was good, with the complimentary chips and salsa being absolutely top-notch! The chips are light and crispy, which does make getting salsa mildly challenging, but they're so good that really doesn't matter. The salsa is flavorful with just enough heat that no one at the table complained. I didn't prefer the style of guac they served, but for what it was it was well done. I simply prefer less or no onions and no cilantro at all (disgusting!). The fajitas were good, with good beans (a non-negotiable for me), and our special order (no cheese no sour cream) was accurately executed.
