Food was great! I got the Steak and Chimichurri. Service was on top of everything. The live music they had put out a great vibe for the restaurant. Owner as well came out and greeted tables asking how the food was and about our day. Will definitely bring my family here again. 10/10.

We had a wonderful experience. Our order was taken promptly. Food was hot and delicious! Our server did an amazing job. We went in with our kids and there meals were free. Really helps a mama out during summer. We will be back our kids loved the panchos and enchiladas 10/10 flavor and authentic taste . Did not disappoint. P.S. hubby says his beer was nice and cold

We came here for an early lunch date. The place is very spacious and clean. Our server was very attentive and patient while we viewed the menu, being that it was our first time here. The food we ordered was great. Will definitely be coming back!

This grill has everything From steaks , ribs (small bone hotel ribs). Seafood, and chicken. The guacamole was fresh and the rice and refried beans are tasty. The day we went in we noticed Ed the nachos are a popular choice at almost every table. We visited on a Saturday night around 8pm and they had a local band playing Mexican music. They sounded good, but it was a little loud for some older friends like that were with us. In all the plates that we had were the ribs in the Molcajete in a mild red salsa, fajitas, and steaks. Everything was very good. We all had a great time. They do Serve alcohol and they are family friendly. I do not recommend kids running around. Hot plates are coming out and sizzling salsas can spill easily. Our food was great we ate it all. The Servers were nice and quick to serve. We are bringing some from work associates next week.

I was craving some tasty brunch and decided to finally give this place a try. As with most restaurants, the mimosas were pretty straightforward. You can't do brunch with a mimosa so do order one. I was offered other flavors besides orange. I decided to stick to regular orange. The Avocado Chilaquiles were so good! I was surprised they came with chicken since the menu did not list it as such. It was a pleasant surprise! The sides were okay. I couldn't resist trying the Banana Foster pancakes. They were a generous serving of 4 fluffy pancakes that hit the spot. Make sure to be ready to wait a bit if you go on a Sunday for brunch. Service was very slow in the beginning but it was incredibly busy.

5/16/2025 My friend JJ told me about this place so had to check it out. My parents got a chicken soup and beef fajita tacos. I got the panchos cuz they could not do a botana for one. First off food was ok nothing special, service was not good. Waiter was nice but he kept forgetting things and the food took a long time to come out and it was dead I think only on couple was there. He took a while to refill drinks and had to remind him to bring the tortilla strips for the chicken soup. The place seemed kinda dark I think it needs more lighting. To me this place was not good but I'm assuming it the time and who we get. Cuz I'm sure some people might have a great experience with this place, but as for me it was not good.

Tried it for the first time, and the food was good. The only thing is my beef fajita had kinda of liver flavor. The tortillas are homemade and really good. The salsas were also really good, and corn chips were homemade. The side was really good and the service was fast, and the waiter was attentive. The place is nice.
