  We used to love coming here and would eat here about once a week. The food is great, but the recent menu changes and price increases have unfortunately priced us out. Some of our favorites (like the burritos) were removed, and items that used to be included—like soup—are now an extra $6. What used to be about a $23 meal with soup is now closer to $30+ plus the added charge. It’s still good food, but the value just isn’t there for us anymore.

  Visited here for lunch and sat outside. As soon as we entered there was a sign to seat ourselves. A server saw us and greeted us. She ended up being our server. Addy was very nice and made great recommendations off the menu. She was super attentive and made sure our drinks were always filled and our table was free of our finished dishes. We got the Abondigas soup, Shrimp Ceviche, Chicken Tacos, and the mini Tacos per Addy’s recommendation. Our favorites were the Abondigas soup and the mini tacos. The mini tacos are a MUST try. AMAZING!!! The patio was very nice and clean, the menus were clean!! Can’t wait to go back.

  The ambiance is nice with a fire pit outside at night and inside is nice…upscale Mexican style. We did ask for a table light as it was dark and they did bring it…but we did not have a heater close to us and it was chilly. They did not offer the bring one over to us and we could have asked. The service was good but food took a while to be prepared. The prices are a little high but me being from CA, what I would expect there: $26 and up for entrees. The menu is my biggest disappointment. The prices are on the high end for Mexican, so I have high expectations on the menu options. There were extremely limited vegetarian options and the restricted diet options were not labeled. I saw Only one option at first, cheese enchiladas that did not have meat on the main entree menu. I was offered veggie fajitas which I ordered, but this was not on the menu and it consisted of just peppers and onions. So regular fajitas sans meat, with no additional veggies. Someone needs to reinvent the menu to give more options!! A chili relleno, veggie fajitas on the menu w more veggies (squash, mushrooms, etc) are two examples. My friend had the little Barria tacos and loved them. I unfortunately will not return unless they update the menu!

  We were walk-ins along with about three other groups of customers that came in behind us, we were told we had to sit outside unless we could eat in under an hour. It was cold outside but they reassured me they would have us (my, my three year old and husband) under a heater. However when we were sat outside we were kind of forgotten for a little while and no one turned on the heater. Finally someone came out to turn the heater on but they wheeled it over to another couples table so we were not much warmer. When our apps came out my husband asked for salt for the guacamole and it never came, when our food came out he made a mention and the server brought a salt shaker that turned out to be empty… we laughed it off and said oh well. He asked for extra tortillas that also never came but was on our check. The server forgot to take it off before running his card so he had to void and re run our card with the right charges. Each step here was pretty slow and the food quality did not feel worth the price. The rice had hard rice chunks in it, and the rest was just okay, I felt like it was similar to cafe Rio. I probably wouldn’t go back.

  Very disappointed with the recent menu changes, as is a lot of other customers. They keep increasing their prices but the quality is going down. Went for happy hour last night and they no longer have the tacos Ricardo, which are two full size tacos. They were replaced with two street tacos, very small, for the same price. We had the beef, which they said was filet mignon but that’s questionable in addition to being cold. If you still want the tacos Ricardo, they’re still available for full price but they decided to change to fried flour tortillas….no thanks The salsa is different and tastes and looks like store bought now. In addition to increased prices and menu changes, they now charge $6 for the soup or salad that used to be included. The experienced servers and bartenders they used to have are now replaced with newer, less experienced staff. I don’t know what is happening behind the scenes but it’s not good, and if management listened to the customers inside the restaurant, they would know no one is happy about the changes.
