We were here for a Christmas corporate lunch. Great place with Mexican dishes! Really nice atmosphere and service. Food is very tasty. I think this is also a great place for a date night.
First, the chips and guacamole are delicious, definitely get it! The spicy margaritas were to die for as well! I had the enchiladas which were so good. Our server was so sweet and perfect. He made sure we had anything we could possible need and more. They also do this neat thing inside where a photographer would take pics of your party and you can buy them for a small price! (I took them, the pics were great!) Grwat experience overall.
Beautiful restaurant on Beverly Drive with AMAZING food! We ordered the Mole Negro and the Molcajete and both dishes were out of this world! Very authentic high-end Mexican cuisine. Atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing. We will definitely be back!
Best authentic Mexican food!! Great service, not a long wait time for food. Nice and warm. 10/10 would recommend. Alex was awesome. Great recommendations.
The food was awesome and the server served us greatly I really loved the food . I had a quality time on dinner
I ordered a salad, guacamole, and tacos from this place on a busy Sunday, and I was blown away by how amazing everything was! Despite the crowd, the service was excellent, and the staff were attentive. The salad was incredibly delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. I can't wait to go back just for that! To top it off, the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portions , I had an exceptional experience, and I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for authentic and delicious Mexican food!
I had a pleasant evening, eating very good food (some plates were better than others, but all were good) in a nice setting. Service was great, this is the kind of place where you happily leave a tip to the staff. I was particularly impressed by the work of the cleaning crew, I think they don't usually get specific compliments on Google reviews, but I observed them cleaning very thoroughly the tables, chairs, cushions and floor after every client.
We ordered the tableside guacamole, which came with two sauces: red salsa and green salsa. Both were delicious, and the guacamole was generously portioned, enough to serve 3-4 people. We requested hot sauce, which came with an additional charge of 3, but it was absolutely worth it—super delicious and super hot as its supposed to be! We also ordered the vegetarian fajitas, which weren’t on the menu, but they accommodated our customization. The vegetables were cooked to perfection. Finally, we had the Tres Leches for dessert, and it was fantastic!
