    We got seated quickly thanks to making a reservation on open table. What makes me write a 4 star review instead of 5 is that we had to look for our waiter after waiting for 10ish minutes. Once we asked one of the waitresses, she was nice enough to take our order and food got to our table at a good time. Food was good, the sinaloense sampler was a combination of flavors bout I will say, the chilaquiles were a little dry and so was the machaca, unless that was the style. Everyone in our party loved their food! There’s only one bathroom which is not enough for the amount of people that go there, I wasted 7 minutes waiting in line. There’s public parking underground and it’s cheaper than the one in front of the restaurant.

    Exquisite food. I grew up in Mexico, and the food offered here truly made me feel that I was back there, eating delicious, authentic Mexican food. My husband and I were flabbergasted… we just sat there in silence after we ate, enjoying the overwhelmingly positive experience we just had.

    PLEASE ! Do not come here . Showed up on time for reservations and the lady up front had a waiting in a long line stating we will have to wait additional time . They called us to our table and we were not able to sit inside and told us they were busy ( when there were plenty of seats inside ) Anywho we sat down and the server mentioned that we only had 1 hour to sit and eat. ( Felt very rushed ) She then came back to take our drink order and unfortunately this location does NOT server alcohol because they do not have their permit. So if you are 21+ trying to come here and vibe and drink do NOT come here . Not to mention the food that i ordered was inaccurate, they had to bring me another plate . I had the worst time — outside with ants crawling all over the place . Please save your money !
