Overall Rating

Review


We tried this restaurant based on all the 5 star reviews and that it offered so many gluten free options. Imagine our surprise when everything is clearly marked gf and only 2 soups were not gf and they are clearly marked. The restaurant is small and casual and family owned. We got there around 5:45 on a Monday and there was only one other table occupied. By the time we left an hour later almost every table was taken! The staff is warm and welcoming and obviously take great pride in their food. What I loved most is this is not your typical taco, burrito, nacho menu, you can get that anywhere. What is offered here is authentic Mexican food, elevated comfort food. From the first bite to the last, everything was outstanding. Add in the house made sangria and you have the perfect meal! One side note for families, outside food is not allowed. One family tried to bring in a meal from a local burger joint because one of the kids did not like Mexican food. Our server explained it is not allowed for various reasons and tried to offer an alternative he might enjoy instead. She was patient and kind but remained firm. Please take that into consideration when bringing young children.
