They make the guacamole fresh at your table. You can add whatever ingredients you want. The drinks were great - bartender made me a skinny margarita with extra spice. Empanadas and tacos were delicious!

We were in the mood for Mexican and thought this place looks nice from the outside so we decided to give it a try. It was a convenient location. There was no wait for a table on a Friday night. When we sat down, they asked if any of us have any food allergies. Everyone in our party got tacos. We also ordered an appetizer (Short Rib Nachos). One of us have a lactose allergy and they decided to not add the sour cream without offering to put it on the side. We were hungry and started eating and by the time the waitress came back, we were more than halfway through with the nachos but we asked her anyways about the sour cream. She mentioned something that it's a-la-cart. So it pretty much sounds like if you want it on the side, you'll have to pay for it. The menu clearly says it comes with it. Besides that, we asked for no Jalapeños in the nachos. Somehow the nachos are still pretty spicy. I am not sure what other chili they put in it but we don't see it in the description for the nachos.
Then, we got our tacos. We ordered the pork carnitas and the pork belly tacos. They were pretty tasteless. Whatever they put in the pork belly tacos overpowered the pork belly taste. One of us ordered the philly cheese steak tacos which says it comes with onions and peppers. You would assume since it's steak and cheese, the onions and peppers will be like a steak bomb, with green bell peppers. Nope, it's a spicy pepper. They should probably let people know which dish is spicy. Overall, we have never had Mexican food more disappointing. We were looking forward to our dinner too because we haven't had Mexican in a long time.
Like everyone else, the atmosphere is probably the best about this place. I used to go to Pappagayo, the previous restaurant at this location. I never thought they were that great either but still better than this new restaurant.

Horrible delivery option. Should really switch to the normal apps. We ordered online and the DoorDash driver hasn’t picked up our food in 1 hour. And the place is about to close, we don’t even know if we will get our food. And we already paid!
