This was such a fun place to eat and the food was amazing! We loved it so much we actually came here several times for dinner. I highly recommend going to the 2nd level and getting a table by a window. The breeze in the evening and just the ambiance made everything so much more fun. The servers were always attentive and friendly as well. And the prices were very reasonable! Definitely stop here if you’re looking for authentic Mexican food with a fun atmosphere!

El servicio es bueno(puede mejorar), la comida está ok, a mi gusto siento que le faltaba sal a la mayoría de las cosas. Tienen salsas muy buenas, deberían de poner totopos para degustarlas en lo que traen lo ordenado.
