" I just had lunch there and wow, it was packed! The carnitas were delicious but I wish there were more options in terms of different meats. The chips were great, but the service took long since they were busy. I’ll probably visit again during off-peak hours for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had mixed feelings about my visit. While I truly enjoyed my nachos, the burrito was unfortunately bland and unsatisfying. The staff were very friendly, and the place was clean, but I expected way more from the flavor profiles of the dishes. I’ll give it another shot, as I’ve heard raving reviews from friends, but I won’t be in a rush to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on the reviews but I felt let down. My tacos were very dry and the price was higher than expected. The salsa bar was a nice touch, but I wish the food itself was more flavorful. The staff were friendly, but I felt the quality wasn’t consistent with what others praised. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is awesome! The birria consome was out of this world, and the tacos paired nicely with it. I love the variety available at the salsa bar, and I seem to always find something new to try. The atmosphere is also cozy; perfect for a chill night out or a quick bite! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch here after hearing so many great things. I ordered the pollo asado plate and was blown away by the flavor! The staff was attentive without being overwhelming. The only downside was that it was a bit crowded and loud, but that’s expected at a popular spot. Overall, I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, the food here is good, but I felt like it was overpriced. I got a plate of enchiladas, and while they tasted good, the portion left me wanting more. On the flip side, the service was great. The ambiance is lively and fun – a great spot for groups! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who travels frequently to Mexico, I found the food here to be very authentic. The tacos de carnitas were flavorful and didn’t disappoint. It reminded me of the street food I had in Mexico. The service was quick and attentive, and I was impressed by how clean the restaurant was. A highly recommended spot for anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
