When allot of places try to put their own flavor to things, it doesn’t always work out. NOT the case here. This place definitely pits its own flavor to things. But the flavors are smooth and flow across the whole pallet. The food is excellent. The drinks are great as well. Service is good. Everything was great out first time ands we have told EVERYONE how good it is. I would highly recommend. BTW, start out with fresh Chichirones. They won’t disappoint

Dined here last night, the place seems like it was recently opened, and a lot of things weren't perfectly in place. The waiter had some difficulties speaking English, nevertheless he was nice and friendly. The complimentary chips and salasa were very tasty. We ordered shrimp tacos and shrimp quesadillas. Both were good, but not amazing. The taste was flat. Nothing amazing or outstanding. The dishes were nicely served. They had some great options of hot sauces, which I enjoyed, especially La Anita (Green). The prices are reasonable. We paid nearly $30. Note that the portions are slightly small compared to other places in the states.
