" The restaurant has a nice, lively atmosphere and boasts about its authentic food, but my experience felt below average. I ordered the quesadillas, and they lacked that punch of flavor I was looking for. They could tighten up the seasoning for sure. On a positive note, the service staff was very attentive and friendly, which made my experience a bit better. Hoping they can improve on the kitchen side next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I come here I’m blown away by how good it is! The service is consistently excellent, and the staff is wonderfully friendly. I ordered the tamales this time, and they were rich and flavorful. It’s a fun place to hang out with friends and enjoy some authentic grub. I highly recommend their margaritas as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" Best place for tacos in the city! The chicken tacos are juicy and flavorful. Don’t skip the handmade tortillas! They are a game changer. The restaurant also has a great vibe with kind staff who make you feel comfortable. I ordered a few different items, and everything tasted incredible. The prices are reasonable too. I highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great little family-owned restaurant! The homemade guacamole was a standout and made my meal that much better. The kids loved the tamales, while I enjoyed the mole sauce on chicken that was rich and flavorful. I had heard about the long wait times, and while we did have to wait a bit, it was worth it. The atmosphere felt very homey and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing. I visited with high expectations and left rather unhappy. I ordered the fish tacos, and they were bland and lacked freshness. The decor is charming, and the server was very courteous, but unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the reputation. I’m torn about whether I would return; maybe for a quick taco Tuesday.

" A true gem in the city for anyone craving authentic Mexican food. I tried the pozole and was blown away by the flavor. The garnishing with radish and lime was spot on, enhancing the experience further. The ambiance was relaxed, making it perfect for both family meals and casual dining. Service was prompt despite how busy they were. The prices were very reasonable considering the quality of food offered. I highly recommend trying their fresh seafood options as well; you won’t regret it. Two thumbs up from me! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited the restaurant last week to try their famous birria, and let me tell you, it lived up to the hype! The flavor was rich, and the tortillas paired beautifully with the broth. I also enjoyed the relaxed vibe of the establishment, making my dining experience very pleasant. However, even with so many staff around, it took some time to grab their attention for ordering extra drinks, which was slightly frustrating. Overall, highly recommend—just be ready for a bit of wait during peak hours! " (*Curated Review*)
