    Short rib and birria tacos were great. Queso tasted velveeta based. Server is rated 3 but only because I felt sorry for him having the whole back room. Three requests for drinks went unanswered. Orders were not all taken before he left the table- couldn’t he see 3 people?. Sides-refried beans and rice were old and cold, and were not fresh in taste or consistency. Chile relleno was strictly for presentation- the flavors were missing. Christmas decorations were great!

    At table for almost one hour before server took order for cocktails. Cocktails were terrible. Waited over 20 more mins for cocktails to arrive. Food came out cold, hard, dried out. Had to send 2 dinners back out of of 4. Birthday celebrations were just layed at table without sparkler. No fan fare like other tables. Food was just ok. Would not go back there, ever!!!!!

    I drove an hour and it wasn't the hype I saw on IG. The service was good. It was fast and the order was correct. The food however was not good at all. We ordered the mojo pork Mac and cheese and it was soupy and there was a huge glob of cheese on top. The raging burrito barely had steak. Mexican pizza was not tasty and dry. the food overall was not tasty.
