Absolutely love this place. Everything on the menu is amazing, craft cocktails and margaritas. Good size bar and can always get a seat. The decor is fun and I love the chips trio, so crunchy and yummy!

We came here during happy hour. I had never been before the renovation. The decore is kind of neutral. You can't tell what type of restaurant it is. The service was good, the servers were courteous and helpful. We ordered the tacos and nachos. The nachos are cold, it's more like a salad. But they are good. The tacos were chicken, pastor and steak. The best were the pastor. But they were all good. We also ordered the churros, those were good too. We'll definitely come back.

The establishment is currently undergoing renovations, which necessitates the provision of outdoor seating. Nevertheless, the experience is well worth it. The food was exceptionally fresh, bursting with flavors, and truly exceptional. Our server, Stephanie, provided outstanding service and was highly attentive. She also offered insightful information about the restaurant, its ingredients, and the proprietors. While I initially perceived it as just another American-Mexican restaurant, it undeniably embodies authenticity.

Best food in town! I'm always shocked how incredibly delicious the food is, the relaxing atmosphere, and how genuinely friendly their staff is as well. The wall art is even made of recyclable/sustainable material from local artists :) This is a great spot to take your friends, a date, or even host an event! We also want to thank Jimmy the owner for his genuine attention and care towards his patrons and welcoming greeting to his customers. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Last stop of the day so just sat at the bar and had a couple of happy hour house Margaritas and some dessert. Service was good and friendly and the ambience is quite modern and not your classic Mexican Restaurant vibe and I say that as a good thing. Had already eaten before my visit but the food coming out looked really good so I will have to return with an appetite.
