    Sympa, grande table pour être à son aise. Nous avons pris des petites entrées à partager. Très bon. Excellent guacamole maison ! Un bon petit mexicain de quartier.

    The best Mexican in town. Closer to Tex Mex including homemade tortillas, chips and all the other sauces and dishes. Comfort food deluxe.

    Good food. Nice atmosphere. I thought it was a little pricy for what they serve or they could improve dish presentation..

    Disaster of a visit. Took quite a bit to get seated despite reservation and tables being open. Then waited 20 minutes for a drink and after 45 minutes of waiting fir food, I asked waitress to just get it to go and we'd pay. She spoke to kitchen and our order hadn't even been started. It was just 2 of us. We said we would just leave without eating. Only plus side was waitress was kind, clearly felt bad and wound up giving us drink for free. I would have at least tipped her if I had any cash. Also watched them not help a party of 8 who they split up with a table of people between them. Clearly the were some misunderstandings, but when an opportunity arose that could have solved the problem, they stil didn't rectify it. Bad service, poor planning on cinco de mayo and overall bad experience.

    From the excellent service to the special attention by the manager and great food I have nothing but good things to say about my experience. It was an amazing value also! Will be back!

    This is our 4th or 5th time having dinner here. We live in MD but frequently visit our mother who lives nearby. We’ve never been disappointed. The food and drinks are always excellent as is the service. Each time we bring new family and friends. We’ll be back the next time we’re in the city.
