    res made, walked into empty place... asked for different seating, wasn't gracious about the change.. service a bit snooty. food good, but very small portions... except for chicken mole dish which looked like a flotilla of rice swimming in sauce... chicken was pathetic. Price not

    Every time I eat here I leave happier than when I came in. That sweet potato appetizer is unlike anything I’ve tasted and I am addicted to it! Service was impeccable as always; Jimmy helped us pace out our meal to be ideal for us.

    We enjoyed the delicious Mexican food prepared with quality ingredients and outstanding flavors. However, we found the drinks to be unnecessarily expensive for how small they were. Simply put, if you're looking for great Mexican food served hot and fresh, this is definitely a great choice. Just don't expect a good value from their drink menu.

    Donavan was our server, and he was delightful! He had great customer service, as everyone did in there, including the manager who stopped by. Our server was helpful in making suggestions and answering questions. Margarita No 13 was so yummy as well as the guac and chicken mole. Highly suggest this entire order. The atmosphere was great! We will definitely be going back.
