These guys never disappoint!!! I can't get over how amazing their food is. From the salsas and dips to AMAZING DISHES! Last trip was chimichangas and sangria's. Though I wish they'd do the squirt tequila margaritas, It doesn't matter. Service food and atmosphere is awesome!
I've only eaten here twice but it is one of the most authentic Mexican restaurants in town. Period. If it's too loud because the live band is killing it with authentic Mexican music, this is not the place for you. The food was fuego! Had tacos and a shrimp cocktail. This whole place is a vibe. Hidden gem for sure.
Hip, hip hooray! Finally, a decent eatery to occupy the spot that has been vacated by many. The way the drinks and food are banging, I know they're here to stay!
That sizzle! The Molcajete Caliente is fantastico. Everything you can want all in one bowl: fish, shrimp, steak chicken, octopus queso fresco all served in a yummy red sauce. And if that's not your thing then try the chori chicken. Grilled chicken topped the uber flavorful chorizo and cheese sauce served with the tastiest refried beans, rice, salad and tortillas to make your own tacos.
Great mexican style seafood restaurant. The staff was attentive and took care of even our pickiest orders.
