Pros & cons below 👇 I love mexican food so I was looking for a new (to me) mexican spot to enjoy ...
this place had mixed reviews so I decided to see for myself.
I went during a weekday for a late lunch but still during the workday. Pros: I sat outside to enjoy the weather which was nice.
Parking was really easy to find.
In fact, I parked across the street.
Nice vibe.
Visually appealing.
Waitress & staff were nice.
Plenty of available seating.
The chips in the nachos did have a yummy seasoning on them that I could taste every few bits after I ate all the chips with cheese and sour cream. Cons: I ordered the nachos de carne asada/steak and was very disappointed.
The steak was dry, in fact the nachos overall tasted dry because they lacked cheese.
The nachos in my opinion were expensive for the portion served and the taste. Final outcome: If I were not rating this place, I honestly would not return here again however, I did not try any of their drinks so I may return for their drinks after work one day and either give the nachos another shot (maybe the chef had a bad day?) Or just try something else of the menu? Any recommendations?

the drinks are stiff.
the hot sauce is homemade i’m guessing and super tasty.
and the burrito was filled with absolutely banger ingredients.
staff is nice and the TVs add to the ambiance in a decent way.
can’t wait to come back with family of date night, it’s fitting for all of it.

The place is cool, outdoor seating available.
But there isnt anymore happy hour and it sucks cause the quality of cuisine went with the drinks.
My lemon pepper wings were salty as and the prices are eye gaugin for a few things in menu.
Like guacamole the SM $ 3.00 serving looks like a condiment.
Staff is nice, and food comes in timely manner though for delivery & or pick up.
