   on a sunday evening when all other authentic restaurants are CLOSED, this jewel of a find restarant surpassed all our expectations. Being new to the area, I was not aware of closures. We booked a girls table talk at this restaurant. I can't express how good the food, drinks and service is a this place. Excellent service with freshly made Guacamole made at the table, with the choice of chunky or creamy. The atomosphere is cozy. The Latin music added to the ambiance. We are temporary workers in the area and wished we had more time to ENJOY more of the delicious meals on the menu. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. A GEM in the corner of Elk Grove

   Food and service were great. I ordered the fajitas and they came out sizzling. The steak was well seasoned and cooked. Chips were crispy and delicious. Will definitely be coming back again!

   They use habanero peppers for their shrimp and don’t tell you. It wasn’t edible.

   Food was outstanding! Best Mexican food in the area! Great ambiance for a date or a night out with friends. The margaritas are served with a smile and the molcajetes are to die for! My husband and I are making this one of our regular spots!

   We arrived for valentines day. I was interested in the seafood lava rock. The meal was good, it came out super hot, boiling. So this made it hard to eat, i had to wait for it to cool. Once it cooled my wife was done with her food( her food also came out a few minutes before mine. Once I deshelled the mussels and clams, I finally started to enjoy. Then to my surprise I get a scotch brite piece of metal in my mouth. The metal scrubber they use to wash dirty pots and pans was in my mouth(a piece not the entire scrubber) I had just got to the best part of the meal and now the meal is ruined. I did not want to complain, but tbh it grossed me out, it was stuck in my teeth. I was offered a small bowl about 1/5 of the amount of food. And that was it. I paid full price for everything and also left a 20% tip because I didn’t wanna seem like a bad, cheap customer. Really sucks it happened on Valentine’s Day.

   I took my wife and another couple to Cicada for dinner on Valentines night. We made reservations and were seated quickly. I had the mocajete and it was delicious.

    Amazing variety of selections. All that the 4 of us ordered was great. My one caution: the menu is uniformly pricey, particularly when compared to other similar Mexican restaurants. But over all, we’d return.

    Everything from the service to the food was great! Try the bacon wrapped shrimp, they are to die for. We only got through three menu items before we were just stuffed. We can't wait to dine again and try something new. If you like seafood the "Seafood Molcajete" was absolutely amazing!

    Food was not hot when it arrived at the table and didn’t have much flavor. Too expensive for the quality of food you are receiving. It took the waiter more than 10 minutes to make it to our table after we arrived

    What a great find! The fajitas are awesome, my husband loves their margarita's because they are very tasty and come in a large margarita glass, and I love sitting on the indoor patio with the fireplace.

    This is your better than average Mexican restaurant. Everything was great. presentation of food, service, ambiance was good (not 5 star, but this isn't a fancy place). We took friends and they very much enjoyed it.

    We had two orders of flautas and one plate with green chili enchiladas. The enchiladas were very bad. Cut up chunks of chicken with no sauce or flavor. It was also served room temperature. The flautas were good but I would have certainly wanted less peppers as their over powered the rest of the ingredients. They make a fantastic pineapple margarita. The restaurant is beautiful and fresh inside and the waiter was fantastic. The food we got was the wrong choice as I hear lots of people say the tacos and or other dishes they have tried are very good. Disappointed in our first visiti.
