Giant margaritas, 32 oz to be exact, and some honey Mexican food were a great ending to a rainy Friday night.
It was pretty busy but we were seated quickly. We were greeted with a heaping pile of hot, crispy fresh chips with the perfect amount of salt. The salsa here is not too thick but packs the perfect amount of heat. The giant margaritas helped cool us off. They offer several sizes of margaritas but we decided to get the jumbos because why not?
The menu here is huge. Tons of options so I’d suggest extra time to go through it or take a look before you come. I ordered the Barbacoa tacos which are new to the menu. The plate came with 3 tacos and they were filled with meat. It also came with a side of beans and rice. This was a huge meal and was easily several meals for me. Part of the reason for this is also because as always I ate so many chips and salsa I had to take most of my meal home. It was delicious warmed up the next day for lunch. My significant other ordered the my special plate. It was a nice mix of shrimp, chicken and chorizo and came sizzling on a hot plate.
The servers were very attentive and were happy to bring out more chips and salsa as needed. We had a nice time and are always happy to come back

Not much flavor on the meat. The corn in a cup had the wrong kind of chili powder and wasn't spicy. Horchata wasn't very sweet and didn't have alot of cinnamon or vanilla

Ordered 3 Steak and 3 Chicken Tacos, Delicious. The workers are always nice not only to me but to other guest as I sit and watch. They have A++ hospitality and service. The food is great. I coundn't even finish my tacos I had to give the rest to my teen son. The tacos were hot and fresh. The meat was hot and well seasoned. The hot and mild sauce that comes with it is delicious. Everything about this place is nice. Its also clean.
