This is one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to.

The drinks are fresh and delicious. I had the margarita of the day with Jamaica (Hibiscus) and it was perfectly balanced.

Tuesday is Taco Tuesday and they have great deals. The meat is 1 choice only and comes in a cooking pot for you to create your own tacos.

I had the Chicken Tinga Tostadas and this was absolutely excellent. I am going to crave these from now on. Salsa is excellent and not too spicy as well.

The restaurant does not accept cash and does contactless payments.
This Mexican restaurant is like a piñata of flavor in the heart of our vibrant neighborhood! It’s so unique that even the salsa can’t salsa like this place does. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a décor that screams “Fiesta, baby!”

Their menu is like a culinary adventure, with dishes that are a fusion of tradition and wild imagination.

The service is as warm and inviting as a Mexican sunset, and the atmosphere is so lively you’ll think you’re at a fiesta, even if it’s just a regular Tuesday. If you want a taste of Mexico right in the heart of our neighborhood, this place is a must-visit. Ole! 🌮🍹💃

Got the flautas, tacos chelo, quesadillas de huitlacoche, and tostaditas. Some knowledgeable friends did say the food was authentic, and there were lots of unique dishes on here. All the dishes were good shareable items. The tacos chelo were my favorite. I didn't expect the quesadillas to look like empanadas, but they were good as well (the fungus is a different taste). The margarita also had a different honey taste to it, but it was yummy!

I came to this places because I saw a TikTok about it. When I got to the places it’s hard to find a parking spot so we did valet parking. Hostess was nice and service was good. To start I got the crispy tacos con papas and chorizo. They tasted old not crispy at all. Then I got a tamal, that didn’t look like time. First bite and wasn’t good. I was expecting more about the food of this place because their prices but definitely I’ll never go back again. I gave it 2 ⭐️ because service was good. Food not recommended.

Finally, I made it to this place! The food was good. The ambiance was cool. Had an incident with the children in our group, but we made the best of it! Had the michoacan carnitas. Being that I'm from michoacan, I know my carnitas! I would give the carmitas an 8 outta 10! What made the carnitas great would be the consume like juice. So good! Had the 5 leches cake and empanadas for dessert! Both 9 outta 10. A bit pricey but good quality food.

Service is Excellent

Guacamole 🥑 is mediocre. Chips were oily and taste old. Price vs value vs portion is not as good as I expected.

Civeche is below average. I was not impressed at all. It was Pico mixed with shrimp, and Avocado slices on top. It could be done much better. Price VS value is not good for the consumer.

Restrooms are clean, good job on that.

Atmosphere is ok, lack of music in the background, missing the energy.

Valet is $10, also little pricy for a that type of restaurant. Most offer complimentary valet services.

I heard so much about this place but my experience wasn't as I expected.

I loved everything about this place. The staff was amazing. They were so friendly and welcoming. The food wasn't pretentious and it felt like it was cooked by grandma. I was worried my chicken dish would be too spicy but it was perfect. A good amount of heat without burning your face off. The cocktails were lovely, too. I really enjoyed the whole experience.
