“ Pato helped us and he was so kind! He was attentive, gave my son a piece of candy while waiting and was just vibing with us as my son and I were kind of dancing to all the great music being played! The place is intimate and welcoming with tons to look at on the walls! Again, the music was great, while waiting for our food my son and I were having a blast dancing in the waiting seats. My review is more-so a 4.5, but only because the food was not quite to my tastes as far as Mexican food. I had super high hopes for this place because it looks EXACTLY like one of my all time favorite Mexican spots so I ordered my usual -- cheese enchiladas, a crispy taco and salsa. I also ordered a green veggie burrito and a soft carne asada taco for my son. The parts I enjoyed were the salsa and chips-- they paired very well together and I thought the salsa (and hot sauce) both had good flavor. The salsa isn't spicy, but the hot sauce had a good little kick. The crispy beef tacos were good, especially with the salsa . The enchiladas didn't do it for me... that's usually how I judge a place on if I like them, but I didn't really enjoy the sauce on them like I hoped. They weren't bad but just not what I wanted. The veggie burrito was a little odd... it had an interesting flavor and they chose veggies that I rarely have seen in Mexican food (squash, zucchini, etc). I'd definitely come back for certain things or if I want some decent chips and salsa... I'd come back for the atmosphere and try more tacos and some of their adult beverages! If you're lucky enough to have Pato helping you, you'll be well taken care of! ”
