“ Really delicious Mexican food with a very large menu. We sat out on the patio because it was so nice outside. It was pretty busy and we could tell the servers were working hard but service was a bit slow. Though the food came out quick once our order was in. The strawberry margarita was delicious! The chips and salsa were so good and very fresh. I had a beef burrito and my friend had Chile rellenos. Overall very happy! ”
“ First time, and the staff was wonderful, the food was amazing. Our Server had gratuity added automatically because we were a large party, which was great to see. I think it's a total green flag when a company makes sure their people are compensated for their skills. We will be back!! ”
“ Absolutely delicious! We were looking for a late dinner on a Tuesday night when we came across this place. There was less than an hour until closing, but it didn't take anything away from the quality of the food or service at all. The flavors were bold, unique and FRESH!! We will definitely be going back to try the other menu items. ”
“ We were driving from Ft. Collins to Denver and looking for somewhere to eat Mexican. I found this place and give a try since those pics of foods looks great. The restaurant was easy to find, the music sounds already Mexican. When we went inside, all the stuff were smiling and friendly. My husband ordered Cadillac margarita and it was Sunday so he got 2 for 1 price! He said it was super good. I ordered shrimp and that’s so delicious. We will definitely come back! ”
“ Best chips and salsa I've had from a restaurant. A little pricey but cool vibes so an overall a good experience ”
“ First time visit 4/26. Wonderful restaurant. Menu has a large selection of gluten free. Staff is great as is the manager. Manager refilled our drinks. Food was filled with flavor. Prices very reasonable. ”
“ Very impressed with my food, drinks, and service! The restaurant had a 30 min wait when I arrived, very busy! This was a solo business trip dinner, so I got a seat at the bar. Ordered the carnitas street tacos, served with refried black beans and fresh guacamole. I also had complimentary chips and 2 delicious salsas! Sooo good! Two for one house margaritas for Thursday Ladies Night, and they were cringingly strong and delish (only 10!) Tacos dinner was 18. Nice atmosphere here and service was excellent from all staff. Highly recommend. ”
“ If you're in Fort Collins, CO do yourself a favor and come by. Be greeted with a warm atmosphere and friendly faces. The food is wonderful. Usually I go with pento beans as my side, but they only offer black beans and I am so glad I still gave it a chance. The black beans were for lack of a better word perfect. I had the chili Verde burrito and good god they delivered. Each bite had flavor the pork tender, the sauce was so good. Not to thick not to runny. And I went during their dinner rush around 6:30pm and we were still seated and seen and fed quickly. I meant to take a photo of me and my coworkers food and forgot once I took a bite, I'm not over-stating it. You know the food is good when you quiet as hell lol. ”
