I had the most wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely incredible — fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and authentic recipes. The guacamole was perfectly seasoned, the tacos were bursting with flavor, and the margaritas were some of the best I’ve ever had. Even the presentation was beautiful — you can tell there’s real care put into every dish. The service was equally impressive: attentive without being intrusive, quick to offer recommendations, and genuinely friendly. It’s rare to find a place that nails both food and hospitality so perfectly. Whether you’re looking for a casual night out or a special occasion spot, this restaurant delivers on all fronts. I’m already planning my next visit!

Bright open space is conducive for a casual dinner with friends or family. Dinning room was clean, bright and comfortable. Staff was friendly and personable. Drinks were delicious and well crafted. The house margarita was not too sweet and had a balanced flavor. Portions work generous, allowing for two meals. The chips and guacamole provided enough for 3 PLUS an addition to our meal s(guacamole). Food was was very good and presented nicely. The bowls were made with a variety of vegetables making it colorful and delicious. The meat in the bowl was flavorful and nice texture (NOT chewy!). Overall, a lovely dinning experience and look forward to a other visit!

Came here to try something different. It is on the corner of a main street so parking is limited. I wish they had a sign or logo or something to make the front entrance door THE door to enter in. We saw the flag and went around back to a side area and thought that was the entrance ... any way, we found it. It just opened for lunch time so we were the only ones there. Great little spot, the bar area looks inviting and we might be back for that. The burrito was a lovely large portion that was taken home for left overs. The only thing I was surprised was the dryness of the burrito but I am guessing it is supposed to be like that so you can try out their salsa bar?? They have plenty of great choices to dip your meal into. Meat in mine and my husbands was a little tough. These minor things won't keep me from coming back though. Waitress was very pleasant and friendly.

They recently changed their menu and are working out the kinks. It's written right there on your menu. We had to wait a little long to be served, but we were apologized to by our waiter and another gentleman (the owner?). My "American Tacos" were amazing! My husband loved his burrito. Fresh. Yummy! I had a Strawberry Citrus Margherita that was fabulous. The music inside was too loud for us old folks. We sat outside. Eat here! You'll love it!

High quality fusion Mexican food. Salsa bar, regular bar, lots of seating. Appetizers, kids menu. Main dishes: choose burrito, quesadilla, taco or bowl, then choose what protein to add (including vegetarian options). Waitress very helpful explaining how menu worked and advised on food sensitivities. Carne Asada Burrito was to die for. Dining companion tried tacos, one each of tofu, potato, and Falafel; all were reported good with falafel being the favorite.
