Delicious authentic Mexican food and nice beer on tap, which is tough to get in the states. Often just tasteless bud lite piss water, would definitely come back. Salsas were on point, nice and spicy and great flavour. Sat outside and service was initially a bit slow as they were busy from happy hour but once the drinks were flowing we felt very well looked after.

I'm a vegan and eating out at Mexican restaurants isn't easy. Here I found good options. I had the garden tacos which was some of the best vegetarian tacos I've had in a very long time. The veggies were fresh. Another important thing for me, is I find generally most Mexican restaurants use animal fat in their beans. That was not the case here. So not only could I enjoy them, but they were also very favorable. Both my son and I weren't fond of our alcoholic beverage and didn't even drink half. Left our drinks nearly full on the table. But it didn't effect my review since maybe I should have ordered top shelf. Good alcoholic improves the taste. So that's on me I bet. Our waitress was thorough, fast and friendly.

We were actually looking for Cheesecake Factory when my boyfriend said, "Hey! Jalapenos... Yes or no?" We said yes. Definitely were excited as we entered there was a giant pinata (we totally took pics with it before we left ). We tend to enjoy a little alcohol on our adventures together so we ordered a blended margarita. We both felt a nice fuzzy vibe from that first drink and decided to split a flavored one. We thought the flavor might be a liqueur but it definitely was a puree! 10/10! If you are a chatty customer don't expect to get much small talk from the staff. The service is fantastic. Near perfect execution but the staff is strictly business, up to and including the ability to redirect its more ADHD type customers (us). We are planning an impulsive sort of weekend trip in the area in the new future and plan to put this place as a priority one stop! Pricing feels steep (especially if you are feeding a group), but food quality is amazing. Definitely stop here!

The watermelon margarita was delicious. We loved the salsa that came with the chips. Highly recommend the chicken flautas and the carnitas.

Okay, coming here, my first thought was, "K, just another Mexican restaurant." But when I tell you this place is the place to be if you want a good authentic plate! The food left me thinking, "El Cap, who?!" I ordered my go-to safe plate. Flautas de Pollo with rice and refried beans. My husband got enchiladas Jalisco (I liked them, he wasn't completely sold) he did say if only they were made with flour tortillas. We will definitely be coming back. Next time, I'd like to try the albondigas, we'll see. Hostess and waitess were super friendly and attentive, despite how busy they were. The atmosphere was super inviting. Overall, 9 out of 10. Just because their spicy salsa could be tweaked to have a real kick.
