    I went on a Thursday night to catch up with a friend, and this place is very beautifully decorated for the Halloween and very high end for a Mexican style restaurant in the decoration and table tops, white table cloth etc. The server we had was a very patient lady, the place was empty surprisingly so we did take a bit to order and we did tell them we were catching up and we were not rushed. They serve very delicious and not over spicy salsa with homemade crispy tostados We ended up getting tacos by the piece and this are just delicious, the Birra beef was so tasty yet was not a fan of the greasy consume. Shrimp taco was so fresh and so was their pineapple pork taco. She had the same tacos but with she marinate steak and she liked it too. We had 2 drinks each and on a Thursday was 1/2 price for women which was a nice surprise when we saw it in the bill. Each night they do different things it appears. They do also have a dj and was a pretty lively music, and was a bit hard to hear each other, yet was good music. We will definitely love to come back and sample the other tacos and to sample desserts. Service, ambience and food was superb.

    Our second time here and continue to be pleased. The food is excellent, delicious and fresh! The service is great and tables are not too crowded causing a loud environment. Highly recommend the location, especially if heading to Mulcahy’s after. Also the best coconut mojitos I’ve ever had!
