    Incredible food at very reasonable prices considering how large the portions are! I ordered the mole enchiladas and it was the best mole I’ve had in a long time. Not too sweet, with very tender chicken inside. The beef picadillo in the queso dip was also so flavorful and well-seasoned.

    Mediocre at best. Stay with simple dishes. My salmon with poblano sauce failed because of poor quality fish

    The decor was festive but the noise level made it difficult for easy conversation. I had a salad with chicken, and the taste was fine, but a piece of tendon or fat was left on the sides of the chicken pieces which made it difficult to cut and unapetizing to eat (chewy and stringy). I liked the cucumbers, avocado and carrots on the salad. My friend ordered cheese enchiladas, and the cheese inside looked similar to the cheese inside a fried mozzarella stick. The cheese was hot, but not melty, though; it was stiff. She was not a fan of the taste. The guacamole that came with it was pureed completely and did not have good texture or flavor. The refried black beans were delicious. We both ordered a side of them, and my large portion came in a separate bowl, whereas her smaller portion came on the plate with her enchiladas. Not sure why the discrepancy. The server came initially, and I asked him to "give me one minute" to decide about my order. Fifteen minutes later, he still had not returned. I had to ask the hostess if she could please send our waiter to the table; the restaurant did not appear to be really busy, either. Because of the slow service and mediocre food, I do not plan on returning.

    By far the worst Mexican food I’ve ever had. I asked for my food to be taken back and ordered something different and was still disappointed. I will never eat here again
