    I love the experience at this restaurant. Sunday brunch was fire. The music was popping, the servers was fantastic! The food was the star on top of everything! Dorado tacos were some of the best things I've ever had. My daughter had the bireia ramen, and my son had Chocolate pancakes! We will be back again and again!

    We come here VERY often and every single time we have been here the food has been DELICIOUS! My family and I have tried multiple items from the menu and have been equally impressed with each one. The staff is amazing especially the manager Jaime he always goes out of his way to check on us to make sure everything is going well. Before we even met Jaime my husband and I thought he was the owner because you could tell he was genuinely invested in this place and cared about everything that was going on.

    Not sure how to unpack this. I was super excited to try this place due to having a love of chilaquiles. The first time we tried to go we missed the boat because most of the week they close at 2. I guess it is technically a breakfast dish right? Anyways today we saw it was one of the days they were open later so we stopped in. The first thing we saw while waiting to be seated was they had a happy hour with $3 drinks!?!?! In today’s day and age that’s unbelievable! We were quickly seated and looked at the menu. Do not be shocked when you see the $3 drinks do not give a good indication of the other menu prices. A basket of chips and salsa is $6!?!? I’ll talk about that in a minute. Admittedly I’m a bit of a pain in the rear due to some food allergies and I don’t expect people to bend over backwards for me but I usually choose Mexican food to eat out because I can usually omit an item and the dish will work for me. When our server came over I advised them I had some food allergies but they were manageable and asked if there were recommendations on anything safe on the menu. Their response was “uh, not really” so I let them know I wasn’t overly concerned with cross contamination from a fryer and just wanted to make sure the ingredients weren’t in certain items. They advised they would double check with the kitchen and let me know. On return they said, well the kitchen said you should be fine. Not a lot of confidence here. I opted to build my own chilaquiles and roll the dice. It was $19. We also ordered chips and salsa ($6) and ordered happy hour drinks. The chips and salsa came out first and the salsa was a weird gelatinous yellow substance that looked more like a green chile pork. We asked if the salsa was vegetarian because one of our party doesn’t eat mean and chips and salsa are 99.999% of the time a safe shared appetizer. We were told there’s no meat in it just chicken stock. Chickens were meat last time I checked. We asked if there were any other options and were told everything has chicken stock in it. We asked about pico and were told that was safe and it was brought to the table. Shortly after the main courses were brought out and I was excited to dig in only to be completely underwhelmed. It was super saucy that by the time it got to the table every chip was a soggy mess. The eggs were slightly undercooked, the chicken under seasoned, and said sauce tasted like it was Old El Paso from a can. For $19. We ate a bit and noticed those drinks never came out and the server was nowhere to be found. Finally once we had enough food and pushed our plates aside, the server came by and asked how everything was. We avoided the question and just said we were finished. They asked again, but how was the food, and we just advised we were in a hurry. We asked to make sure that our happy hour drinks weren’t on the check since we never got them. Instead of an apology, we were advised we never ordered them. They said that they thought we were just inquiring about the drinks and didn’t actually order them. We paid our way overpriced bill and left. It was hands down my first and last visit to this establishment. I joked on the way out I had a new tag line for them. “Chilaquiles, the food isn’t great but at least the service sucks”

    We stopped in for a quick lunch. I had 3 Quesabirria Tacos with beans/rice $20, my husband had a green chili burrito he asked for the green chili sauce on top and a side of some kind of hotter sauce $19, we each ordered a Coke $7 - our bill arrived and it was $69. I was shocked and asked - apparently there were many up charges that were not mentioned when ordering to the tune of about $20? I still can’t make sense of it. We aren’t cheap by any means but this was ridiculous. Way too overpriced. Random up charges should always be communicated. $69 for 3 tacos, a burrito and 2 cokes? No thanks.
