We have tried several other Mexican restaurants close by and so far this was our best experience yet! Gabriela was an excellent server, so genuinely friendly and helpful. We read reviews of the restaurant or music being overly loud, but that was not our experience at all on a Thursday night. They provide up to 2 complimentary bowls of chips and salsa, where many places only offer 1 or none these days it seems without extra charges. My only wish is that the salsa bowls were larger because it was super fresh and tasty. 😋 They also have different specials on different days of the week (shown in one of the pics). We will be back for sure!

It was our "ladies lunch day" ..53! That right 53 woman Our waitresses Azul y Maria were extraordinary, wonderful & pleasant.. The food was de-lish..shout out to the cook as well! I had the chicken frijitas.. scrumptious & the re-fried beans! It has been a long time since I have had beans that good! I'm sure everyone that was there for lunch was in awe of how competent our waitresses Azul y Maria were!! Now.. also important. The bathrooms were immaculate! The cleanest I have seen!

Walking into a restaurant and smelling fajitas and hearing mariachi music sets the tone to a great dinner. Add great service, Thank you Juan, and fantastic food with reasonable prices will keep us coming back. The chips are thin and the salsa is deliciously fresh. Nice chunks of onion and cilantro. There is no way we could have finished the gigantic plates we got, but I'm thrilled for the leftovers. Bathroom was extremely clean as well. June 2025 returned for another awesome meal. Steak burrito and chimichanga and quesadilla combo. I had the tomatillo sauce on the chimichanga and it was so good . The beans are amazingly creamy and delicious. Everything was very hot, service was excellent, but beware of the hot salsa, available upon request.
