If you’re in a hurry this place is not for you. We went on a Tuesday afternoon around 2 and place only had one other table. Still took 40 mins to get our food and about an 1 hour by the time we left.
Food
- pretty good food in terms of flavor. I ordered the ground beef taco and al pastor. All pastor was very disappointing in terms of meat quantity thus the 3 stars for food. It was basically 80% onion, 10% pineapple, and 10% pork. If they didn’t have enough pork left they shouldn’t have offered it.

Had a great dinner. The food was really good. The waitress was new so had a person at the bar/fellow employee? speaking up to assist. Waitress was nice and mentioned being new. Between the two of them were not sure about the content of the red sauce being veg. Not super attentive though and the servings of the salsas (which were good) were just a few tablespoons for the first two. The other person explained other people ask for more but don’t eat. That’s not my problem. I also don’t know who they were. I appreciate chips and salsa as a courtesy, but expect that from solid Mexican food restaurants. Chips and a bowl of salsa(s) to start. That’s not too much to ask. Some things to work on. They were also out of queso. ???

I am really sad to give this place the rating I am but the waitress did not seem to care about my vegetarian requests- yes, I got vegetarian enchiladas but at first she made it seem like it was impossible. It seemed like it was confusing for her to know what I needed. To add on, when we asked about vegetarian sauces, neither seemed to know immediately which were vegetarian, and that is concerning. Again, I am not a needy person, I just appreciate when people know the details for people like me. Also, we had to ask for three refills of salsas because they were half-filled each time, and the girl who seemingly worked at the restaurant but was off duty had to explain to us that customers often ‘wasted it’ which we did not… also, they were completely out of queso. Which I would understand if they were busy but they were not. Our waitress also did not seem to care about truly servicing us and was more occupied about what was on her phone. I understand that slow times do not draw a more attentive crowd but I seriously felt that she did not care, nor wanted to go out of the way for any of our simple requests.
Again, the food was good but I cannot get past the inattentive service we received.

After waiting for one hour, we found out that that the waitress missed half of the order. They forgot to bring the menu for at least for 15 min. Drinks never arrived, only with food. They totally forgot about us.
