Mexican food and ambiance exactly as you would expect, except so much better. There was even a mariachi band playing around the restaurant while we were there adding to the wonderful atmosphere. The wait staff worked as a team to make sure that our needs were met without skipping a beat. The food was excellent and the atmosphere warm and cozy. Highly recommended.

Great place for lunch/dinner overlooking Boardwalk pond.
The food was delicious and they offer many vegetarian options.
I tried the Bombay Chimichanga. It was loaded with veggies and the sauce was great! The staff is very patient, polite and we had a lovely lunch experience.

This restaurant was a short drive from our hotel and had good reviews, so we were excited to try it out. They gave our table chips and salsa to start with, and the chips were nice and warm. We were given a mild salsa, so my mom asked for the hotter one. For my meal, I got the quesadillas, which were two quesadillas with cheddar cheese and chicken. It came with lettuce, sour cream, and guacamole. It also is supposed to come with tomatoes and onions, but I asked for it without them. The presentation was lovely and the quesadilla was really tasty and savory. The service was also really good! The people working were super nice and welcoming. We also mentioned we were in town for my sister's birthday, so they sang for her which was super nice.

Came in with a party of six and they were able to accommodate us immediately! The restaurant atmosphere was super nice and welcoming. The staff were all very attentive. I don’t know if the photo conveys how large this portion size was but it was HUGE. I ordered the carne asada. Food was flavorful and came out piping hot. One of us got the top shelf marg and it was delicious and you could definitely taste the alcohol.

After visiting so many Mexican restaurants across the US, I realized all the menus and dishes revolve around the same few options, so at the end of the day it comes down to how they execute these dishes, their pricing, and lastly the atmosphere and quality of service.
Pricing was reasonable, service was good, but the atmosphere wasn’t great. We were a party of six and they sent us downstairs which had the basement feeling although they had empty tables upstairs and we asked them to sit upstairs.
Besides that no complains. Decent experience overall
