Food was good but overpriced. Not a lot of vegan/vegetarian choices. The service was good but beware of their separate check policy. They will not split checks but they will charge equal amount on up to 5 cards. Which means this...we were a part of 8, 2 couples and a family of 4. They wanted to divide the total by 3. So, my friends were supposed to help me pay for my kids meals? We had to call the manager to complain about an antiquated system and he took care of it. We won't be going back there. There are too many options in Houston not to deal with silliness.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in all of Houston. The food is fresh and always delicious. You can seriously taste the love that went into it! The margaritas are amazing, but I think it is the atmosphere and service that has captured my heart. All of the staff are incredible, especially Alejandro and Ernesto. Cheers to you for a consistently fabulous dining experience every time I've come over the past 10+ years.

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to. The drinks are fresh and delicious. I had the margarita of the day with Jamaica (Hibiscus) and it was perfectly balanced. Tuesday is Taco Tuesday and they have great deals. The meat is 1 choice only and comes in a cooking pot for you to create your own tacos. I had the Chicken Tinga Tostadas and this was absolutely excellent. I am going to crave these from now on. Salsa is excellent and not too spicy as well. The restaurant does not accept cash and does contactless payments.

This Mexican restaurant is like a piñata of flavor in the heart of our vibrant neighborhood! It’s so unique that even the salsa can’t salsa like this place does. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a décor that screams “Fiesta, baby!” Their menu is like a culinary adventure, with dishes that are a fusion of tradition and wild imagination. The service is as warm and inviting as a Mexican sunset, and the atmosphere is so lively you’ll think you’re at a fiesta, even if it’s just a regular Tuesday. If you want a taste of Mexico right in the heart of our neighborhood, this place is a must-visit. Ole! 🌮🍹💃

Great spot! I usually come for brunch but I am glad to have sampled their dinner menu this time around. The cuisine here reminds me of my last trip to Mexico City plus a dash of culinary creativity. Service: We arrived just as they opened, so it was not busy. Service was excellent. Our server was kind, knowledgeable, and intrigued us into trying menu items. Food: Top notch. Prior to arriving, we knew we were looking for a place that served huitlacoche (corn smut, aka fungus). To our delight we had two options and tried both. Tamal de cazuela and huitacoche quesadillas. We also had sopa de tortilla, salsas de cuchara, mole Verde, and ensalada de pedalos de Rosa. We also tried their amazing margaritas. Food was fresh and vibrant with flavor. What a treat! Atmosphere: Usually this place is very busy and loud for weekend brunch. This trip it was maybe 25% full by the time we finished in a weekday dinner service. Casual atmosphere, nice decor. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the lovely weather. They do have heaters outside as well. I will definitely come again to further sample the menu.

The food was absolutely delicious. I was hesitant of this place at first because it seemed to be a little expensive, but I can say now that it was worth it! The pozole rojo tasted just like the ones in Mexico City and the molletes were super yummy as well. I’ll be coming back whenever I’m craving a pozole like the ones I used to eat when I was little
