My first time here, indoor and outdoor patio seating under lights, will be back to have drinks and appetizers on the patio. The decor is so authentic Mexico, dia de lid muertos sculptures amazing lighted moons and stars, carved wood seating in waiting area. The decor and atmosphere are absolutely beautiful. Now we’re seated and the excellent servers take front stage. Cadillac Margarita, spicy cucumber margarita- amazing! We ordered the fresh guacamole made table side to your desired spiciness, so recommend! It! ordered combination plates and a grilled chicken fajita salad, The salad was assembled table side, sizzling chicken and veggies, fresh citrus dressing, out of this world. The food and drinks were! outstanding! I will be back!

Great spot with lots of outdoor seating and nice ambience. Complimentary chips and salsa. I had the tostada salad which was really good. No IPAs but the raspberry margarita I got instead was tasty.

I went around 3 PM on August 1st, 2025 and I loved the atmosphere. The restaurant is beautiful and it's like Cancun was brought right to my front door. The atmosphere was pretty nice and the service was stellar. The restaurant is just a nice place to be. I was so surprised when they brought out bare avocados and made the guacamole right in front of me. I had a Chile verde burrito and it was delicious. The portion sizes were more than generous. I am still working on leftovers for 2 days now! Pictures of the food do not do it justice. If you want an upper-class dining experience that serves Mexican food, this is the place. I could not have been more pleased.

I went here today for a birthday celebration and it was AMAZING. Our server was wonderful, the food was delicious and it was served to us with good time too. The atmosphere was amazing, and I really loved the art they have on display here, and the wall with water cascading down was beautiful. The outside area was really beautiful too in this weather. And the bathrooms were clean and done well. I loved the chips and salsa. The chips were done perfectly and the salsa was especially delicious, and had a smoky flavor. I got the Enchiladas de pollo con mole, and it was very good. I would have it again. There was a fee per person for the birthday cake we brought in if I remember right.
