February 20, 2026Jerome GGood food and cocktails at a busy restaurant
We went there for dinner on a Friday evening and the restaurant was crowded with a few minutes wait for a table. It took another few minutes before we got the traditional chips and salsa (salsa was spicier than most Mexican restaurants we have patronized). My wife had a combination of chili relenono and chicken burrito with a crema. The sauce was particularly good and the dish was better than average. The waitress gave her a choice of pinto or black beanns and she chose black. She got pinto but it was not a serious problem. She did prefer black but the pinto beans were decent. We shared a large Cadillac margarita which was quite tasty. The service was slow, probably due to the number of people in the restaurant at that time.

We’ve lived here for a while and finally decided to try it. I got an enchilada combo with chicken and steak. They specialize in the mesquite grilling. Overall it was just alright. The chicken did taste grilled with the mesquite flavor. The homemade salsa was spicy and had a good flavor. Overall just ok. Not horrible but not amazing.

This was so good. My group ended up here because we walked by it on our way to an appointment. I loved their salsa. I had camerone ala crema. So good. I would recommend and go back.

A solid choice for good Mexican food!
A ‘steady eddie’ for very good Mexican food. We are from Ohio, visiting relatives, and celebrated a birthday dinner there. Food was delicious and the service was terrific.
