For a Mexican restaurant in a strip mall in Richmond, VA... I was thoroughly impressed. The food is very clearly all fresh made and all came out well seasoned. Actually like extremely well seasoned. The Stuffed Jalapeno appetizer was arguably the best stuffed Jalapenos I've ever had, like where did that come from? I also had table side guacamole, which they make right in front of you to your spice liking. Also delicious and fresh. For the entree, I had the Churrasco platter. Every component was delicious. I will say the bacon wrapped shrimp had too much bacon to shrimp ratio, but too much bacon is also not much to complain about. The ribeye, chile relleno, and rice were seasoned so well. The odd star of the plate may have been the green onions with the bulb, a super crisp, sweet pop of onion flavor to cut the richness. The frozen marg was kinda your standard Mexican frozen marg fair but I had no complaints about it either. Reasonably priced, delicious food. If I lived in the area I'd be back regularly, unfortunately only in town for business but I'm very happy I stopped here!

A fantastic spot with exceptional service, a fresh ambiance, and an excellent menu that's continuously expanded, featuring both appetizers and entrees. If you appreciate a well-made margarita, a wide selection of tequila, and a variety of beers, this place has everything you need.

Pleasantly and delightfully place that made me and my girl feel like home. This was so huge I couldn’t finish it lol. Nachos salsa and sauce is awesome. The meal is off the chain. I just had a veggie enchilada and it tasted with blasting power of flavor. Thank you !!

A Must-Visit for Authentic Hispanic Flavors and Great Vibes! Stopped in for dinner and was blown away by how quickly we were seated and served — the staff here is fast, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The service alone made a great first impression, but the food sealed the deal. Everything we ordered was full of bold, authentic flavor and served in generous portions. You definitely won’t leave hungry! And if you’re a margarita fan — this place delivers. The drinks were strong, fresh, and kept coming. Whether you like yours classic, frozen, or with a twist, they’ve got you covered. Great food, great service, great drinks — I honestly can’t wait to go back. This spot is a hidden gem for anyone who loves real Hispanic cuisine with a side of good energy. Highly recommend!

Had an amazing dinner here with my husband. Everyone was super attentive, there was a friendly and fun atmosphere, and the food was SO GOOD. Seriously the most delicious enchiladas verdes, quesadilla birria, margaritas, and churros. This is our second time here and we will definitely be back!! Extremely underrated restaurant. Amazing food for the price! Dinner for 2 with a drink and desert for under 50 is unheard of in 2025

Best Mexican restaurant in town!!! Have been coming here for a few months now and they never disappoint! Great portions, consistently delicious (huge menu with amazing options), and good chips/salsa/white sauce. The takeout service is great, but so is dining in. Highly recommend this place!!!!!
