Reviews

I recently had the opportunity to visit your establishment for the first time, and I wanted to share some feedback from my experience.While I appreciate the effort put into the preparation of the meals, I must express my disappointment with the outcome.
Despite discussing my preferences with one of your staff members regarding the tacos, the actual presentation did not align with what was communicated.
The individual tacos with separate meats were not what I had anticipated, and the portion sizes left much to be desired.Furthermore, the taste of the vegetables lacked seasoning, and the margaritas tasted overly sour, resembling more of a lemon-lime flavor than the expected taste.
Additionally, the quantity of avocado provided with the chips was inadequate, and I did not receive the requested pico de gallo on the side.As someone who appreciates the flavors of authentic Mexican cuisine, I had hoped for a more satisfying experience, especially considering the investment of $30.
I believe that regardless of whether the meal is dine-in or takeout, consistency in quality and taste should be maintained.I offer this feedback with the intention of providing constructive criticism and hope that it can be used to improve the overall dining/take out experience for future customers.
While my first visit may have left much to be desired, I am open to the possibility of giving your establishment another chance in the future. Thank you for taking the time to consider my feedback.

Love the vibe! Everyone was so nice and the restaurant was busy but quiet enough everyone could have a conversation.
The food was excellent, came out so fast, and is very well priced.
We ate on the patio and the weather was perfect! We’ll definitely be back.

We’re new to the area and exploring the restaurants in Durham.
My quesadilla was too greasy.
Chips were stale.
There is absolutely no sides that come with your food.
There MUST be some tomatoes, sour cream, lettuce and guacamole with quesadillas.
They brought the greasy quesadillas plain with nothing in barely ate.
It’s not cheap either so for the money there should be some sides.
The service was great tho.
They were super attentive and the food came very fast.
Unfortunately won’t come back here.
