Waitress was amazing and the dj Blitz made the night Fun and remember. I want to come back because of the DJ.
First time visit for lunch...Excellent service (Rodrigo), generous servings, great food (although I should have asked for some salsa or pico de gallo to give the chicken tostada a bit more spice), very comfortable seating, clean, friendly bartender, cost is a tad lower for cash paying customers ()...will return.
This place was really good! The price and their portions are amazing, you literally get your bang for your buck. The drink menu is nice as well. We found out they have karaoke Fridays (because we came and on Friday) which we noticed the locals like. The service was great checked up on us just enough. They made sure our drinks and chips/salsa were always refilled. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the Latin vibes. We'll be back
I sat in the bar and the bartender was on his A game. Extremely friendly, tended to us repeatedly to make sure everything was well and to see if we needed anything. The food was delicious as well. I almost never eat restaurant rice and beans, I ate all of theirs.
Strong drinks. Delicious food. Great service. Great music, especially during Kareoke! My favorite dish is the carnitas fajitas! Get the big drinks, you will not regret it, unless you are driving, then maybe just a beer lol.
I mean, truthfully........I am leaving a four star review, primarily treating this as an entire "experience" review. We sat in the bar area, as my wife and I were invited for a night of dinner and karaoke. It was loud and raucous, but I believe it was the intent. There were a lot of regulars, and the actual karaoke was fun to watch. Our friends participated, it was fairly organized, and maybe next time I will muster some liquid courage and sing myself. Save for one overly drunk woman, it was a pretty fun experience. My wife ordered the taco salad. She said it was definitely a salad (but not the most positive way). She said there was an abundance of lettuce as filler, but the actual other taco parts were limited, so possibly a little skimpy on the yummy bits. I ordered the birria quesadilla, as I know birria is trending across the United States right now, so why not ("Birria" in the United States = Mexican version of a French Dip sandwich, i.e. beef with a thin dipping sauce). I mean, it was good enough, as I wish the cheese were melted a little more. The beans and rice, surprisingly, was quite good. My wife enjoyed her blended margarita, and they do have a fully stocked bar. The food, then....a 3 to a 3 minus We are for sure coming back for a good time, with singing, some drinks, but maybe eat dinner before and just share an appetizer for next time.
Still a great place for lunch or dinner! Karaoke on Friday nights. Back room available for parties or meetings.
