    Really cozy and colorful restaurant. The service was great and the food was excellent. I had the chicken fajitas and the meat was nicely marinated. The BYOB is a pluts too.

    Vegetarians AVOID! Went for a dinner with friends, as a vegetarian, thought they would have plenty of options and given the area, would be used to these types of situations. I ordered veg chimichanga for my daughter, while a friend order beef. Upon delivery, after double checking with the waitress that these were the right ones - they were switched. I get it, mistakes happen, upon notifying the waitress, her off-the-cuff, absolute no-care attitude was disrespectful. Her response - "the kitchen told me that" and proceeded to walk away - no apology, no concern, no hesitation. I will never go back there, and to be honest, the food wasn't great either.

    The food is really good and the service is really prompt. Good place to take your family out to dinner in Princeton. While they do have parking, there is a community parking 2 blocks on the left.

    Loved the food, went for lunch. Ordered chicken soup (ok), chicken burrito, tostadas (veg) and veg taco. Came with rice and beans. Was awesome. You can mix and match couple of different items, think 3 for $20. Order their hot sauce, which is made from some chili that tastes burnt but great. Finished it off with tres leches, again really good. Service was superb. Our new go to spot for lunch.
