Vibe: Dazzling ambiance, dull drinks

The lively and unique Mexican atmosphere, painted in vibrant hues, is the heartthrob of this establishment. The buzz around this place is notable and infectious, even if the drink options come across as a dampener. However, the charm of the ambiance overshadows this flaw, creating a pleasing dining environment.

  • Great Ambiance

    The colorful, lively decor creates a uniquely authentic Mexican atmosphere.

  • Bad Drinks

    Limited drink options, bad wine list, no alcohol disappointed some.

Perks: Sluggish reservations, moody outdoors

While the restaurant attracts kids with a colorful menu and a mini candy store, getting a table for larger groups may test one's patience. You might also want to give the patio a miss as the service is often poor and outdoor heaters are amiss. Parking can be hit or miss, depending on the time and day.

  • Great For Kids

    Restaurant kid-friendly; offers colorful menus, mini candy store.

  • Okay To Park

    Mostly easy parking, but can vary with lot sharing and business.

  • Bad For Groups

    Long wait times for seating and service with large groups mentioned.
