“We ate here last night and were very impressed. I had a few tacos, a marg, and some fries. Their mexifries are outstanding. She had a taco and fried plantains, which blew us away, they were so tasty. Muy sexico.”
“Recommend this place, staff is super nice and drinks are solid. I can’t rate the food as we just randomly dropped in but the music and the overall atmosphere is amazing. Absolutely worth a visit if you are in the area”
“The moment I walked into the restaurant I was greeted by a friendly waitress. The place had an amazing aroma so I could tell I was in for a treat and I wish I could dine in but had to order my food to go. I ordered the short rib quesadilla and an order of their fried plantains. The wait didn’t feel long at all, maybe 10min, 15max. Everything was packaged nicely and the food tasted delicious and filling. There was plenty of rib available and my plantains were juicy and delicious, just the way I like it. Glad I walked into this spot!”
“The waitress was very welcoming and friendly. I really liked the food, everything was delicious, especially the chicken tacos. The drinks were also delicious. There was pleasant music playing.”
“On many occasions I had walked by this Mexican restaurant on my way to other bars and restaurants. I had judged the book by its cover and how wrong I was to do that. On this occasion I decided to disregard the outside and check out what was inside. What I found was an attractive interior with such friendly and knowledgeable servers. I also heard my favorite music playing, salsa music from the 70's, 80's and 90's. I was smiling and moving my feet when the classic margarita that I ordered arrived. It was so delicious that I ended up ordering another. For food it was recommended that I try the brisket taco. It was a great choice since the meat was tender and juicy. I happily paired it with the sweet platanos, a really good combination. For dessert, the coconut flan was recommended and it was light and tasty. As I was about to leave merengue music started playing and I decided that whenever I'm near this place I will drop in even if it's just for a drink.”
