    Love, love, love this restaurant!! Staff were friendly and helpful. Ambience is beautiful! Most importantly, the food was fantastic!!! They don’t serve salsa with their chips, they serve the very best refried bean dip!!! So delicious! Also had the goat birria, and it was so tasty! Can’t wait to go back!

    First the good: The food was amazing. Best guacamole I've ever had. Shrimp quesadilla...outstanding! Complimentary chips and dip....again, best I've had. Service TOP NOTCH! The bad: We were seated at a table in front of the window at 6PM. If you sat with your back to the window you were burning and it was 100 degrees. If you sat facing the window you were blinded by the sun AND it was 100 degrees. They definitely need shades on the window. We were all sweating. The drinks also weren't stellar. I would definitely go again...later in the evening so it's not so hot in there

    Our waitress, the food and the setting were all great. The chips came with a bean dip so we had to get salsa separately, other than that, everything was great. The salsa itself was delicious - not sure why they don’t serve that by default or give patrons a choice perhaps. I would also love to see more vegetarian options or creativity in the vege taco space (asking for a friend!)

    The service was a bit off. We were given twice a guacamole with goat cheese which as told them we didn’t order. The chips and side dipping sauce to start off was ok though the dipping sauce was weird. My friends dish took 10 minutes later to come out. My friend got a birria but it was a large bowl with the sides tucked in on the side. There was no room for her to put anywhere since no side plate was given. Otherwise I enjoyed the chicken fajitas

    It’s cafeteria style for $22 tacos. Found a fly in my food. It’s way too loud. Overall an embarrassment for Oscar Diaz. I’m shocked he puts his name on it.

    We came here for Mother’s Day and made a last minute reservation. The food and drinks were great and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. They even handed out roses for Mother’s Day is was such a sweet touch!
