What really stood out to me was the great service and attentiveness. Very friendly servers! Had a 16 ounce steak that tasted perfect and was cooked a nice medium. Mexican music at a nice volume in the background and not too busy for lunch but a good environment and nice patio with shade built in for the sunny day. Pricing was in line with typical Irvine, and Orange County restaurants. Overall enjoyable experience.
Halibut fish tacos so good, quacomole awesome, salsas awesome, mole enchiladas great flavor.... chocolate hint with subtle spice.
Service was slow at 5:45 on Saturday evening. We had reservations, restaurant was busy. Once we finally placed an order it was almost 30 minutes until we got served. Then they only brought my food and my friend wasn't served his meal for another 15 minutes. It was awkward. We had ordered margaritas and they didn't bring those until about 20 minutes after we ordered. The food was plain and simple, nothing memorable except the green salsa with the chips (you have to order them, they don't come complimentary) was very tasty. Dinner with one (house) margarita each was $86. My meal was a simple salad and one side taco.
We made it there for a very good happy hour for food and drinks. There were only a few tables filled so no wait. The serving size is the same as the full priced menu. Notcho chips were spricy. We used discount cards from Costco so the value was very good.
Good food and service as usual. I had the chicken enchiladas and a Cadillac margarita. My friend had the burrito. Everything was tasty. The outdoor seating area is a nice plus. It's covered so you don't get the heat from the sun.
Went here for Sunday lunch. Loved the atmosphere. We sat outside and it was so comfy and nice. Just made for a gorgeous day. Ordered the coconut margarita which was delicious. The food was amazing. Super good. The soup was amazing and on Sunday we also got the French toast was amazing and fresh. Overall the service, food and drinks are all amazing. But the outdoor dining just made it perfect. Highly recommend!
A bit pricy but the food was delicious. By far the best queso fundido I've had in OC. The place is clean, has a nice out door patio for dining and a really nice bar inside.
At first after reading the reviews and comparing them to my experience I been to Mexico City a couple of times and my girl was born raised in Mexico City. This isn’t Mexico City cuisine it’s more Texmex cuisine. Not sure from which region or specific Mexican cuisine they are representing because though beautifully plated, the food is not typical. For instance...why did cabbage make an appearance in my cheese enchiladas? The bean were runny and tasteless, and the rice was clumpy, sticky, and over loaded of red sauce and chili powder. The food was basic at best, you can get better Mexican food at your local taqueria. The service was extraordinarily poor, our mains came out at different times which caused everyone to wait. Drink orders wrong or simply forgotten, couldn’t get waitress to refill water glasses. Not only would we never return, we strongly discourage anyone from wasting their time and money. This is only the second time ever providing a negative review of a restaurant experience, honestly it was that bad.
