Stayed at Westin Oaks at Galleria mall, restaurant was conveniently located. Service was excellent. The table tortilla chips were completely unsalted and the guacamole was bland. Ordered the Tucson Chimichanga and it was fried quite well, nice crunch, but disappointingly served “kinda warm”. Ate about 1/4 of it before the temperature issue became off-putting. My party also ordered tortilla soups and a salad which they enjoyed. I should have sent my plate back but did not want to wait for a refire and eat solo while everyone else was finished.

Really good! Went at about 4:30 PM so wasn’t too busy but there were people in there. Our server was super sweet and helpful. Didn’t catch his name, but he was a tall black guy. It took less than 30 minutes to order get all the food for a party of 3. The food was amazing and it wasn’t outrageously priced. Will definitely be back

Cool vibey Mexican restaurant. Service was good our waitress was attentive & charismatic but not over bearing. the tequila expresso martini was a nice surprise. Others in my party enjoyed their drinks as well. Appetizers were really tasty. We had elote & taquitos. As for the mains I had mahi fish tacos, fish was overcooked, overall dinner was good and service was too.

Jada was our server. She took great care of us. The food is phenomenal. You must try the chicken tinga! Enchilada style or burrito style—it is tasty. Nellie the GM is also wonderful. She is attentive and genuinely cares about the wellbeing of her employees and her customers.
