We drive by this place all the time living in North Riverside. We frequent the restaurants in the area and have always wanted to try this place out. Wife and I are happy we did, we set down right away (Wednesday evening). I wasn't expecting this place to have the character it does; quaint, cozy and a full bar. We ordered Brussels sprouts, perfectly seasoned and roasted (I'm on a diet 😅), decided to try my "go to", everywhere I go to start, green chicken enchiladas, they weren't as spicy as my wife's but they are tasty, beans and rice are prepared authentically. Service was just as good. I'm excited to go back for brunch this Sunday Yeah, I'll stay that they next week!

Had heard good things about this place and their delicious food so we decided to give it a try. The decor was great but the ambiance was a bit off. Waitress was not very welcoming at first but she warmed up to us and did a good job attending to us. The food was indeed delicious, authentic and had some unique flavors and we've eaten at many Mexican restaurants all over the U.S. and Mexico. When we got our bill to our surprise we were charged for every bit of salsa (3 lil bowls) which is fine but i feel like they should have informed us that it wasn't complimentary as pretty much every other restaurant doesn't charge for salsa while dining in. We may return one of these days but it won't be on the top of my list.

I have been wanting to eat here for a while. The food was inexpensive, and the portions were worth the cost. The drinks. The drinks were the best they have some very fun choices and it looks like a full bar. We went for brunch on a Sunday and it was low-key the ambiance was nice and the service was great

Whoa… so it’s Easter and they didn’t want to be there, I get that. This was the first time in my life that I have had a pile of enchiladas. The waitress thought it was a Chile relleno because the pile was shaped like one! No care, no flavor, no life at this place. It needs bar rescue or Gordon Ramsey to save it.

I actually love this place. Food is great, they actually know how to make a drink. But their service.....common, been here 4 times now and every time we go their service is absolutely terrible. It's because they're always understaffed. Maybe they can't afford to hire more waiters. Not sure. But please come in and support this place. So they can hire so more staff

Its a mix of traditional and modern mexican dishes. They have modified their menu due to the pandemic yet they offer great drinks with mexican tequila, mezcal and wines. Love their decor. Start with their wing( they are not wings) and carnitas appetizer ( BBQ ribs with a mexican chile guajillo sauce). Love it. I brought a friend later and we had desserts. I was told they have brunch on Sundays.

Cute Mexican restaurant with nice spacious sitting, great chairs, fire place and, bar. Taco Tuesdays brought here. The food was ok... some "regulars" stated beef tacos was the best. Good friendly service.
