I LOVED this restaurant!! Went here on Valentine’s Day, and it was such a vibe! Not the usual lowkey romantic vine. It was upbeat and cheerful. Drinks? Amazing. Food? Amazing. Ambience? Amazing. Table-side guac? Extraordinary! Service was a little slow, but everything else more than made up for it. Definitely coming back here a lot more!

Stopped in after a lacrosse tournament. By far the best Mexican food and service we have ever had!!! This place hands down beats any of the Mexican restaurants we are accustomed to in Maryland. We will for sure be back when we are in the area!

Always a wonderful time and good food. Got the Fish Tacos with corn tortillas for the first time ans they did not disappoint! The flavor was wonderful and had a small little kick. Always love the complimentary chips and salsa. One of my favorite items from here. My mom had the taco salad and added rice, she said it was very tasty as well. Will definitely return!

My first visit I went this past Sunday with my mom & dad for my birthday lunch. We got there at 11:55 and it was already open with guests seated. We got seated right away and before we could even sit down our waiter brought us chips salsa & queso. I ordered the chicken fajitas, my dad got steak enchiladas , my mom got the quesadilla ranchera. Let me just say the portions are huge! I got 7 fajitas out of mine and my mom only ate 1 slice of her quesadilla because it was so big! The food was delicious the margaritas were even better & our waiter was attentive and kind. Definitely our new spot for an amazing meal!! Make sure you are early to get seated because it fills up FAST! 10000/10

Even though the restaurant was crowded, Luis was lickedy-split at our table and continued to be very gracious and attentive through the meal.... (Which was delicious) The meal came quickly and HOT. I had the Texas Fajita, consisting of chicken, beef, AND shrimp, and took the leftovers home for next night’s dinner. Margaritas were great and the cost of the whole meal was more than fair and reasonable. Great place , happy people, lots of parking.
