Skip this place! First off the menu they have online is not at all the menu in person. Went in excited about the duck tamales only to find they changed the menu but didn’t update it online. We were already there so we stayed, big mistake. 2 out of the 4 diners ordered soup. One ordered the creamy corn soup, which is on the menu and the other ordered the chicken and rice soup. Soup came to the table with entrees and wasn’t even warm and both soups seemed to be something different than the creamy corn or rice and chicken soups we ordered. The rest of the food tasted like they had heated up frozen Mexican food. It was plated nicely if that is your thing. Never got chips, salsa or water refills until after we asked for the check. Had to ask 3 times for the check and besides our table there was one other person sitting at the bar, so not busy at all. We asked the waiter twice about the menu change and he acted like he didn’t know anything about it and at first said it was the same and when we pulled it up and asked him he said laughed and said he knew but didn’t know why. Honestly, go to Taco Bell for cheaper food that’s pretty much the same quality.

Very attentive service, AMAZING tacos! Chips and salsa were pretty standard, but their margarita flight was wonderful.

Can’t rave enough about this place. First off the salsa they bring out with the chips and salsa is AMAZING!! I was craving some authentic street tacos… So we got the street tacos and the shrimp/fish tacos 🌮 Our favorite was definitely the beef - but they were both delicious. The server, who I think was the owner….told us all about how they cooked meat, what part of the cow they used and how it was as the authentic way his family did it. My husband got the Pineapple Habanero Mezcal drink….and it had a kick…but was freaking delicious. I am already craving this place, the minute we left…see you soon!!

The food was good! They do have pasta on the menu if you don't like Mexican food. They don't give the amount of rice and beans as a traditional Mexican restaurant, but still good. The waiter was nice. It was kind of pricy compared to other Mexican places.

Not sure why it's billed as a progressive Mexican restaurant but the food was excellent. Had the burrito with chorizo. It was huge. It didn't come with any sides but that was ok as there were plenty of chips and salad to go around. The service was a little slow. We went at 5pm on a Saturday but there were only a few tables with people. It took a few minutes for the waiter to even come say hi and bring the check. However, I do appreciate that they didn't try to rush my large party of 8 out the door after the meal.
