My go to Mexican restaurant! The chicken fajitas, chips and guacamole are my fave! The guacamole is so fresh and delicious. The bartenders make a mean margarita and they have good tequila and beer selections. The manager and the servers are friendly and knowledgeable. I celebrated my birthday there this year and it was incredible! Highly recommend!
Just leaving this dinner experience and it was great! Chicken mole was flavorful and delicious. Everyone at our table was pleased with our meal. If we are ever back in the los gates area, we will be back. (Forgot to ask who created the mural between the bathrooms.) If you are looking for a place to eat, go here and be happy!
Impressed! Tried this place for lunch, the food was excellent (delicious, fresh, good quality), atmosphere nice and service good. Dog friendly including “doggy bowl” and bowl of ice water for dogs.
I ordered the fish tacos and my only expectation was good. The fish tacos were the best I've had in a very long time. The side of very crisp chips, salsa and bean dip is a plus. Excellent salsa with just the right amount of kick and the bean dip makes you want more. In fact, after eating the fish tacos, I doubt if I've come close going to another restaurant and ordering them. Gorgeous ferns greet you as you come in the door with well placed tables of nice conversation. I understand there are happy hours to check out on their website. And, for those who like 'beer choices,' you won't be disappointed.
Tasty food and great service! Highly recommend this place. They have great selection of food all made with high quality ingredients. Authentic drink menu and friendly staff. This is our second time in a week and we will be sure to come back again!
Went here randomly when the wait next door was too long. Pleasantly surprised. Food was good, with great prices and drinks. Service was on top of it and friendly. I will be back and happy to bring others along.
Fast friendly service. We came in on a Tuesday night for dinner, while it was pretty busy we were seated quickly. Our drinks and food were brought out quickly, we hadn't finished our appetizers when our tacos came out. Everything was delicious and fresh. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu.
Really cool place in LG. Pretty authentic Mexican flavors and great portions. Taco Tuesday was fun! Their tllyuadas (prob mispselled) are really delicious! My favorite of all is their house salsa, it could be a bit spicier but the flavor is not lacking!!!
