This was our first time here and honestly, I didn’t know what to expect because of the mixed reviews. I’m glad we went! It was delicious. The food was hot and fresh, it came out pretty quickly, the service was great and all of the workers were so attentive. We went at night about 2 hours before closing and it wasn’t busy but there were still multiple tables occupied and everyone else also seemed satisfied. I wasn’t a fan of the octopus in the Molcajete Ala Verga but it’s not their fault it was just a preference. I’d definitely go back

Such a great vibe! Molcajete was definitely big enough for two to share. Every piece of seafood was perfectly cooked.

Delicious! My son had visited before with his best friend's family and recommended it this morning. When walking in, it was fairly busy (around noon) and the staff was friendly. They definitely have regulars already. A young boy acted as our server and was able to check in on our table. Another lady was looking over his shoulder while we ordered, I'm assuming he was in training but he did well, aside from us needing to ask for silverware. I ordered the Baja tacos with fish (in the photo) while my son and husband got the asada tacos. The food was amazing, to say the least. The flakiest, juiciest, crunchiest battered fish I've ever had in fish tacos. My husband asked for salsa and they brought out a yellow creamy looking thing. I tried it and it was spicy for me. When asking what was in it, we were told habanero, with other types of peppers named as well. The chips they gave us as an appetizer were also so delicious, literally my perfect type of restaurant chip! Tania checked us out and was grateful we liked it. We had multiple employees come to our table to make sure we were doing alright as well. All in all, pricey (what place isn't nowadays so I'm not faulting this small local place at all) but so, so, SO delicious.

Staff are very friendly, and the food was amazing. The birria was really good! And the presentation was so beautiful and the portions are a very decent size and very filling. Was also nice that it wasn't too crowded in the middle of the day

Mom and I went to grab a beer and some delicious food. I had the caldo de res, which was really good, but missing some flavor as it had no corn or cabbage, but still good. Mom got the birria tacos which she said were really good. Service was lacking however. They were all friendly, but we waited 20 minutes to find someone to order another drink. All in all, it was decent.
