    We had such a wonderful time celebrating our mom’s birthday here! It was the first visit for most of our family, and everyone genuinely enjoyed both the food and the service. Our waiter—Omar (I hope I got that right! 😄)—was fantastic. He provided excellent service, didn’t miss a beat, and was incredibly accommodating. Tyler also checked in on us personally, which made us feel even more taken care of. The food is always delicious, and one of the things I love most about this place is that it's never overcrowded or chaotic—no long waits, just great vibes. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to book a reservation for a party of 9 with no hassle at all (most places make you call if it's more than 6, so this was a huge plus!). 10/10—highly recommend for any gathering or if you're just craving some good ol’ Mexican cuisine done right!
