Everything was top notch! Our server was all smiles and friendly. Our order was taken and served in a very short time. The amount of food was almost jaw dropping and it was delicious! And then we were surprised at the end with a little dessert type treat that was also very good! I will be returning to this gem of a restaurant!

Wow! Above and beyond! We went here for dinner to do a little girls night baby gender reveal for my sister. We gave the gender envelope to our waitress and simply asked that they bring out pink drinks if it's a girl, blue for boy. Well, she told her manager what we were there doing and they went above and beyond! They sent someone down to the bakery and purchased cupcakes for us and had them filled and brought them out to our table! So much of the staff was excited and gathered around us to celebrate! We were so surprised and so touched that these humans went above and beyond to make it special for us!! Thank you!! P.S... it's a girl!!! Oh and the food is amazing

Flautas were fantastic! I love how they offer beans with chips and salsa and at the end of the meal they serve an extra sweet treat! The strawberry lemonade is the best too!

Our waiter was most gracious young man. The Cadillac Margarita was top-notch, the food was large portions at reasonable prices and very good quality. It was my first time eating here but I will be back

Great Mexican restaurant in the neighborhood. The meat trio molcajete came bubbling hot in a traditional stone bowl, loaded with shrimp, chicken, beef, melted cheese, onions, and peppers. It was flavorful and hearty, but a bit too salty — especially the mushrooms. The grilled chicken salad was a highlight — beautifully plated with fresh cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and avocado slices. The grilled chicken was tender, smoky, and not greasy at all.

Had a wonderful dinner here. The restaurant was clean and the service was great. The food is very good. We had chicken enchiladas and chicken tacos. The chips and salsa and the bean dip were perfect.

I had the three shrimp taco meal. My mom had the Barilla taco. We each loved our meals. She had a margarita and says theirs are the best. Service was reasonable timing and correct. My mom and brother have eaten there several times.

My granddaughters treated me to dinner here, and what a treat! They were super-busy, but seated us quickly and served quickly. I enjoyed the Chilli relleno plate I had, but I should have ordered the sampler plate just for the variety. Everyone left with food enough for another meal at home! Staff was friendly and well-trained, working together efficiently. Highly recommended!
