I’ve been here a few times, and have always felt it was alright, nothing great. This time I was pleasantly surprised. The chips and 3 salsas were good, and everyone got the carne asada. This is a grilled rib eye delivered in a mesquite smoke dome. It was really good! I will definitely be coming back!

Great food, great vibes, excellent service. Loud music, so if you aren’t into that or are looking for a quiet spot you may want to avoid.

Our party had the Gucamole, Pasta Baconora, Green Chili Enchiladas, Taco Baconora, and Tacos Birria. The baconora and birria items flavors were really great.the enchilada was a bit more bland than expected. Server was very nice but it was a bit slower to get drinks and initial order. Overall a good experience and somewhere we will visit in the future
