Great option to stop into before a Guthrie show! Quick service and lots of fun drink and food options. We got some fun drinks and split some delicious nachos and queso. Great atmosphere whether you sitting in the bar or dining area.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! I ordered tacos and they were absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned, fresh, and full of flavor. Every bite was a delight. What really made the visit even better was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. You can really tell they care about their guests and take pride in what they do. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for authentic Mexican food and great vibes. I’ll definitely be coming back!

One of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. The tacos are street style, so you can never go wrong with any of the taco plates. I also recommend the tacos birria. The consome is perfect, and the plate can easily be split for two. If you’re looking for an appetizer, I recommend the fries. They’re enough for 2-3 people and are covered with the toppings. They have a range of cocktails and unique wines from Mexico’s wine region. This is a great spot for drinks or dinner before an event!

Absolutely loved our experience. I don’t think I’m being dramatic when I say these are the BEST chips I’ve ever had. The Puerco en Adobo was fantastic, add tortillas on the side! Spicy raspberry marg was the icing on cake. Vibes are fun too, the atmosphere and decor was great. Will absolutely be back.

I came here for the 1st time yesterday for a staff lunch. We arrived around noon, and there was no wait time. Our original waiter was very friendly and attentive. There must have been confusion because it switched to a different person, but our new waitress was also extremely helpful and friendly. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and offered her suggestions. I ordered a mocktail, aguachile, and birria tacos. My coworkers ordered the ceviche, burrito, and tacos. Everything arrived very quickly by the cook, and the food we got was hot and delicious. While spicy, the aguachile was very tasty! Also, the chips, which I believe are made in-house, were phenomenal. I would highly recommend this place, and I would absolutely return. I also think this place is very reasonable price due to the presentation and quality. I also love the atmosphere, the overall design is very vibrant and modern. The design is very authentic to a lot of parts in Mexico through color, texture, and the beautiful plants throughout.

My experience here was a very positive one! My wife and I both loved the food. The quesadillas were to die for and the chips with salsa and queso were fantastic as well. I haven’t found better Mexican food this far north than at this joint. The atmosphere was great with music at just the right volume and plenty of natural light. In addition, our waitress was very helpful, kind and attentive. 10/10 I’d come back here again.

Really good food and excellent service! Our server was really genuinely nice and checked on us just enough. We had a smoked Manhattan and a Paloma that were extremely delicious. When you order the chips and salsa, they bring them out HOT and freshly made, and super fast. Roja salsa was good but try the smokey one it was a nice heat and flavor. Had a couple vegan options, plenty of vegetarian and omni options and our server asked if I was vegan, so she could be sure to leave the cheese off of my beans. Really great experience.
