Mid experience. Went at 9:30pm on a Saturday and got seated immediately for 2. Ordered the choriqueso as an appetizer for $13 & 2 meals, chicken enchiladas and a choriqueso burger for $13 each as well. Choriqueso appetizer was super delicious! Chicken enchiladas were mid, could get them anywhere. Choriqueso burger was 6/10. Alejandro was our server & he seemed like he didn’t want to be there or serve us - felt very awkward and made us feel like a burden?? $50 for this meal & it was mid overall

Highly recommended. Great food. Professional and friendly service. Clean. Plenty of space. Quick service. Reasonable priced. We had the botana for 2, lots of delicious food. And for those that love salsa, they do have a great molcajete hot and slightly spicy red salsa serviced in a hot molcajete.

Had the alambre tacos. The portions were HUGE and the food very good. Guacamole was great, and the frozen margarita was strong and only 4$ because of happy hour. The food came with flour and corn tortilla chips. Will definitely be going back for the 4$ margaritas. Hector our server was good and attentive
