    Wow very nice Mexican restaurant! You must come here on a Saturday night. It's so much fun. They have a live band and mariachi. The food is delicious. The service is great and you're going to have such a fun night.

    Five stars for a great ambiance, yummy food, and delicious cocktails! I've been here for dinner and for a private event. Coordinating the private event with this venue was a breeze - almost too easy, LOL. All went well, though, and we would absolutely host another event here again. When I came for dinner, I had a shrimp dish with chips/salsa and rice. The food was well-portioned. Prices aren't too out of the norm. Great option for groups or dates. I've also ordered for takeout. All was packaged well and tasted great by the time I received it. On the weekend, they offer brunch options. I haven't been here on a weekend, but it's on my list. I recently noticed that the patio area out front is no more. Looks like the area has been converted to valet parking.

    No complains about service,food or the ambiance but the fact that you are already spending money on their business yet they will charge an extra 4% on top of "convenience fee" I'm not usually bothered by this but oh well today was one of those days

    I have heard different reviews about this restaurant. Was here for a friends birthday brunch. We sat in the bar area. We all paid for brunch special which includes bottomless mimosas. The food was good better than I had heard. The green pozole was great. Not as many brunch options but still a good amount. Our waiter was great at refilling our mimosas which was awesome. Mariachi on Sundays with football and good food!

    We heard about this place from a friend of ours and decided to go in and try it out. First of all, it wasn't as busy which was nice. We went Areli d 6pm. The waitress sat us down at a booth and immediately asked for our drinks. It took some time to figure out what to order since it was our first time there. Our waitress Amalia was very patient and kind. I ordered the Cream Chicken Enchilada, my husband ordered the California Burrito, and I ordered the chicken flautas for my children to share. Portion size, they serve you in a big platter. For the price it is definitely worth it. The only bad thing I can say is that they don't have kids menu but the flautas were a good portion for 2 kids to share. I asked for the toppings ; guac, pico, and sour cream on the side since I have picky eaters. They were so nice to put them on a separate plate. It was nice and hot when it was served. The flautas had so much flavor and wasn't bland. The rice and beans were cooked perfectly. My dish, was so good. Like I said the chicken had flavor wasn't bland. I loved the rice. Rice is my favorite. My husband loved the burrito and the environment. The ambience is really nice. The servers are quick to serve, take plates away, and refill drinks if they see the drinks low. They were so kind and very friendly. It is family friendly if you have children. They did provide a high chair when asked. And they put us in a great section where the high chair wasn't in the way. It is beautifully decorated. I felt like I was on a country side. It's really pretty. Also if you go on a Monday they have a great deal. I was so in shock when I saw the bill. The price was great. I told my husband that this is def going to be one of our date night places to go. I totally recommend this restaurant! Thank you Amalia!
