The shrimp tacos were delicious. All the ingredients used were really good. I love the guac and tortillas. The nachos were great but maybe I should have gotten something healthier The pizza wasn't the best, but we should have stuck to Mexican food. The staff are super friendly. The only problem is the service is super slow. Usually we had to go into the kitchen to get their attention.

The food was very good and the prices were not exorbitant. The bread was served fresh with different butter and oil options. We only had a light meal with a salad and the surf & turf tacos. The salad is a nice presentation and pretty basic, and the tacos are served flaming (mezcal) on a bone.

Despite the mediocre ratings on Google, we were thoroughly impressed with the food here! The wife got the filet and shrimp with potatoes. The filet was tender, juicy and had a delightful seasoning that really made it pop. The shrimp also were uniquely seasoned, and really tasty! Even the potatoes were prepared with a creamy, cheesy blend. I got the seafood linguini that had a perfect blend of garlic and spices, fresh, tasty seafood and a fantastic garlic bread! The empanadas were an unexpectedtly tasty appetizer - crunchy and savory with a yummy sauce. The atmosphere could be brought up a notch by losing the bright, white Led lights, but it's cute and charming, and the service was outstanding, and it was an excellent value. I haven't read any of the other reviews, but I was reluctant to eat here, given the mediocre rating. But I highly recommend what we tried!
