The food was very good and the service was excellent. Decent price as well. The ambiance suffered because we were under an a/c vent, so it was pretty cool at the table. Would go again.

Improved from when they first opened, when service was awful. Still room for improvement but the food is good and I will definitely go back.

The restaurant is cute and staff are friendly. The food is just not good or special or interesting, the margaritas were terrible! The coconut version tasted like mint water and the spicy one was also weirdly boring and flavourless - they had run out off other versions.. The $5 sides were dry as a bone (rice and beans) and had been sitting somewhere for a long time. All of the tacos tasted the same. Revamp the menu or you will not survive. That would be a shame.

We were a group of 4 and was promptly seated outside on a lovely evening. We had a wonderful waitress who was super attentive and fun to converse with! The food was delicious and served quickly - had the guac and chips and 8 layer dip to start. Each of us has a taco with sides - tacos are not big so if you’re hungry, consider ordering 2 or 3. Shrimp taco was great. Churros for dessert. Great atmosphere.

Mediocre at best. Ordered burritos. Better to have described it as a wrap. Very disappointing and just lukewarm. Came on a large plate with a smear of some sauce on the plate. Asked server for some salsa, and there seemed to be a communication problem as she wasn't understanding what salsa was. Will not return

Our whole experience was tainted by poor service. We ordered our drinks, which were delicious, but we had one menu to share between five of us. After dropping off our drinks, she came back once to swap a drink for a girl who didn’t like hers, then didn’t come back for another half an hour for us to order food and drinks. After putting in our order of guacamole and tacos for everyone, we waited another 20-30 minutes without being checked on. We called her over and asked about the guacamole since it should be a quick appy to bring out. She said she put it with the tacos, not as an appy, but then she went to check if we could get it early and told us that they were actually sold out if it now. By the time the food came, it wasn’t hot anymore, but it was tasty. I would have understood if the restaurant was SUPER busy if the service was bad, but it thinned out half way through our time there. Our server spent more time at a table full of men, often, than at our table at all. The space itself is nice, but I think a few more bathrooms would be beneficial (they are independent rooms for each stall, which were pretty messy). Ultimately I’ll try this place again because it’s very close to my house, and hope the service will be better. I want to like this place, but this experience was not good.

I had walked by it a few times, and as my birthday fell on Cinco De Mayo… I thought it was perfect. I made reservations ahead of time in the event it was busy.. thank goodness I did! It was so busy people were waiting outside. The food and drinks were amazing and authentic; but I’ll admit service was slow . I k ow it was busy, but overall they had quite a few people on, and they don have as many tables as other places. Going to try going back on a regular day.

Service was a bit slow even though it wasn't overly busy in there at noon on Cinco de Mayo. Food and drinks were incredible though!

Great location. The bar, staff, and ambience of the restaurant is on point. Food is alright at best. Then again I have a Spanish background so my standard for Mexican food is high. Great tequila selection. Adding Fortaleza to the collection will make it superb.
