Wow!! I was a bit skeptical about breakfast at a Mexican restaurant but they delivered perfection!! I mean fresh fruit to snack on while waiting for my food?? Everything was perfect! From the foamy Cappuccino to the Omelette El Maguey! Filled with fresh vegetables and ham yum!! The avocados and the micro greens were the cherry on top! 10/10

Walking inside, honestly, looked questionable on the outside. Not festive, welcoming, or decorated at all but we were hungry and gave this location a shot. Once you walk inside its a totally different look. Absolutely gorgeous large paintings on the walls, relaxed atmosphere, and high backed booth chairs so your meal is private. The service was fantastic. Our server, we were told was Abby, was very personable and seemed authentic having good conversation even after the meal. Prices were good on the food and the food itself came out great. Personally i had the seafood chimichanga, the chorizo quesadilla, spinach quesadilla, and the chocolate chimichanga for dessert. I would highly recommend the seafood chimichanga as its the first seafood variety Ive bought that had flavor and depth to its taste. I judge my Mexican restaurants off the chimi’s and this one is an easy 5star, will eat again. My family member also loved the patricio burrito due to its rather large portion size and the fantastic flavor(recommended by our server) Definitely would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a good mexican eatery.

I have not been here in a while, I was starving. My wife wanted to go so I did not have a choice. I was not sure how it would be on a Friday night, I was expecting it to be busy and service to be slow. The waiter we got was awesome, I had my doubts at first, and I was surprised how well he did. The service and the food were spot on. It is always a great feeling once you are done knowing that you had everything you were expecting good service and good food. We got the steak Fajitas nachos for the app, I recommend this appetizer. It has always been good every time I have come. We got the steak Fajitas for two. The plate was overflowing with steak,onions, and peppers with a lot of flavor. This is another item I would recommend it has also everything I have been there it has been enjoyable. This, for me, is a place you should try it has been a win for me. The chips were not warm like they had been in the past. That would have made it perfect, but it was close.

We were searching for a fast food restaurant because we were in a rush and we found about it on the internet and we went there and they had the best tacos, burritos, Chile, rellenos, and drinks. Good thing is that we got all the orders within 8 minutes . So I strongly recommend you to try it.

This is our go to Mexican restaurant. We came here on Friday night and it was packed. We waited a short time to be seated. Service was fast. Food came out quickly and hot. Salmon tacos were delicious. My wife ordered the Fajita Burrito w8th a side of beans and said all of her food was very good.
