    Went here for lunch with friends. The ambiance of the place is beautiful. We were served immediately, and the guy who took our order was really accommodating. Unfortunately, I did not get his name. Food was delicious and they gave us Nachos as complimentary and it is really good. I will definitely come back.

    So wonderful! Anthony was our server. He treated us with such honor, always checking on us and asking us how he can help our experience. The food was amazing! We really underestimated how much food we were going to get; we ended up taking a whole lot of food home. It was like we did a dine-in AND a DoorDash. Would definitely come back again!

    So my first date with my gf was at an on the border restaurant. Not this one, another one that had closed down. So happy to have found this one because it brought back such nice memories ☺️. First off the atmosphere is so nice and authentic and elevated. It feels like a very classy version of the dozens of Mexican restaurant’s around the area. The chips and salsa were 🤌🤌🤌 borderline perfect. We had a cheese dip as an appetizer that complemented the chips pretty well. I had a beef enchilada with sour cream sauce that was delicious. My girl had a chicken enchilada that was phenomenal. Overall 10/10 would recommend!
