Have eaten here multiple times and can't get enough of it. Do yourself a favor and try Queso fundido with chorizo, or the Honey mole wings!!!! My favourite dish is the Machete, either Campechano (beef +pork) or shrimp, it comes with a homemade Tortilla with Oaxacan Cheese, it's abundant, flavourful, and come with a side of Guac. Mex Chop is my favourite salad, it has mango, pepitas, avocado, sweet corn, etc.... My favourite tacos are Crispy Carnitas, Cochinita and Tinga 🤤. Ask for their specials, sometimes they offer really good stuff it's not on their menu. Desserts as well vary every season.

Cozy place, not a lot of light. There is an outdoor area if you like to sit outside. I had the best tacos and nachos. Service was great too and food was served in great time. To get great discounts visit during the happy hour or visit on Tuesdays of taco Tuesdays.

Really delicious local Mexican restaurant, you can book in advance online and when we arrived we were seated immediately. Ordered tacos and guacamole both good! Service is efficient and the only annoying thing was that the music is kinda loud for a more intimate dinner.

Went in for a mid week lunch based on high ratings, and I am adding to those high ratings. My server said this would be the best burrito I've ever had and he wasn't far off. It is a solid 10/10 vessel of deliciousness. The ingredients were fresh and tasty, the carne asada was tender and juicy, the ratios were perfect. The chips were also 10/10, light and crispy, with a sprinkle of seasoning. Everyone was super friendly. Inside tables are limited but there's long bar and a parklet.

The friendly atmosphere, delicious food and cocktails, and variety of Hispanic dishes was so appreciated.I highly recommend the fresh ground guacamole for appetizer. The shrimp machete was exquisite. Margaritas bomb. Check this Cantina out for a great experience.

Food, service, and atmosphere were marvelous. We were two adults and two toddlers, were served by Emilio, he is a gentleman he took all the time to explain and suggest the menu, his manager should be proud of hiring him!

This place is really amazing. The food is truly outstanding! I ordered the Barilla plate, and I was not disappointed. Hands down, the best barilla I've ever had - I ordered just a bowl of the Barilla sauce and be happy - and the handmade corn tortillas were the icing on the cake.
