    The birria, duck and mango pork tacos were extremely good along with the spicy margarita, would highly recommend. Tried the tofu taco and wasn't a fan. Usually like tofu but feel like it didn't fit with the menu and would have been much better if given a Mexican twist, it was very plain. Overall great experience, would definitely go back.

    Hadn't been here in years. Very reasonable prices, entrees under $20! Fun place for our group. Waitress was very nice, The food was very good overall. My lobster quesadillas were quite yummy but portion was small, more like an appetizer. Steak fahitas was good, steak not very tender tough and skimpy on rice/ beans. Tacos were enjoyed by 2 of our party. Mexican lasagna was a bit too spicy for the person who got it, and she didn't realize it was a vegetarian dish though ingredients were listed. , maybe should label. Chicken fahitas was generous portion and enjoyed by the party who got them. The flan was good but a bit dense.
