This is the best Mexican food I ever had the service was really good everyone is very friendly and the food was amazing! When I first walked the Ambiance was really pretty and the vibe was really nice!
It was our second time eating here, delicious! The portobello quesadillas were wonderful. The truth is I don't like portobello, but they were so kind that they changed to chicken! I appreciate Israel treatment, very kind. It will definitely be our weekend restaurant!
Tried this place out because I wanted some green pozole. The service was great, soup was yummy and so was the salsa, very fresh. They have a nice patio and it was pleasant outside. The dessert fell short. I forget what it was called but it was the dessert with the plantain and fruit. It was supposed to have a caramel drizzle (if I remember correctly) but it had chocolate syrup drizzled on it. The fruit added to it were strawberries, blueberries and banana slices, they were all fresh. It seemed like a disconnected dish, nothing really brought it together. Just wasn't what I expected. However, I did suggest to my boyfriend to come with me next time, so it didn't stop me from wanting to go back!
Wow ate here today and it was amazing. The salsa is crazy good and homemade along with the guacamole. The fajitas were so soft and yummy and the margarita are powerfully and delicious I highly recommend this place
A follow up visit a few weeks later has cemented my claim that this place is a must if you are looking for fantastic service to match fantastic food. The place is always busy and very loud, which is perhaps its only drawback. Too loud. I don't think there is much to be done about that however, so I am not going to take away from the review for that. Just know, this is not a place to have a quiet conversation. The food is wonderful. I did cave and order the chicken mole enchiladas again. I had to, they are so worth it. The Cuban rice is one of my favorite side choices now. The rice did seem a bit dry this time, but only just a tad bit, but the plantain hit just right and all was forgiven. Our server was incredible, I should have got her name, she deserves kudos to be sure. Next time, because there will be a next time.
I come here often and it's so good service is good, cute place alittle small but cute and the drinks are awesome can't go wrong with this place at all, they have two locations and both are good!
Craving Tex-Mex. Found it! Cute place. Especially the outside patio section. My server was very prompt and attentive. I enjoyed the 2 beef enchilada plate and a sweet tea. Very good and plenty of food. I also record the complimentary chips and pico. Not a fan of the pico but the chips were nice and hot. I very much enjoyed the meal and will be back.
Great Mexican Restaurant in the Cypress area. Combo #6 is my favorite. I was so hungry that I forgot to take a picture of it. LOL. The steak is also a great dish! And their salsa is more addictive than crack, so be careful. The servers and managers are always very nice and work fast to get you taken care of as quickly as they can. Sometimes it's really busy, and sometimes it's not. No rhyme or reason to it. So if you have a big group, I'd make a reservation just to be safe. Outdoor seating is nice when the weather is good. Indoor do I g room can get a little loud when they are busy, but it all adds to a fun night out having Mexican food.
I loved their fresh lemonade and ate every single bite of my enchiladas. The restaurant was a bit loud in side so we sat on the patio to enjoy our meal.
It's just basic TexMex, but you should know that the salsa is a weird mango or peach, not a toasted tomato. And it's cold. Chips are just ok. The red sauce on the enchiladas was too much like tomato soup. In fact, I awoke in the night wanting to vomit. The beef enchiladas also had some gristle so that was a turn off. I know people love this place but I found it underwhelming. Maybe it was an off night? I do think it's worth a visit. It's a cozy little place.
