Walked in - with a reservation - and instead of calling to give a heads up ahead of time, told me as soon as I arrived that they were cash-only that night. Upon my friend and I ordering guacamole, our waiter came back and told us that the “final two avocados” they had had gone bad, so they wouldn’t be able to serve us guac. However, about 40 minutes later, tables next to us magically got guacamole. My friend wanted to order a second margarita, and they were out of that flavor (along with 2-3 others). The food was average at best - absolutely nothing to write home about.

Food was yummy, especially the guacamole and the taco options. Weird though.., last two times I went there, hostess said the “credit card machine is down” and they only accepted cash.

First time here and we loved it though it was a bit pricey. Great guacamole and tacos, as well as tostadas. Delicious red sangria and our waiter, Diguillermo, was the best! We will be back for happy hour specials!

I ordered the tacos (shrimp, salmon and hanger steak) and all were amazing. I think the salmon was my favorite. My husband ordered the chimichangas and he said it was some of the best he's ever had. Service was excellent and sangria was delicious. We have found our new favorite Mexican place. I knocked them down for ambiance b/c they have a large bright obnoxious Corona sign on the wall. It casts a horrible light on the diners.
