As of 6/21/24 they still don't have a liquor license. With that said, the service was great. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean and I really liked the vibe and theme. The food was delicious. I ordered two carne asada tacos and despite not being able to order a beer they were totally on point. The meat was juicy and tender, the salsa was good, and the tortilla was delicious. The grilled jalapeño and onions were a delicious bonus. I will definitely go back.

Everything about this spot is a 10/10. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food (specifically Michoacán) this is the place. Huge portions, handmade tortillas and every bite filled with flavor. Tai was our server and he did an amazing job! He kept our glasses full and made great conversation. Definitely will be back!

My wife and i went to have brunch and yes the appearance is not like a usual restaurant but when we walked inside the restaurant was empty no clients so we ask the waitress why there was no one else, she said it was busy in the morning we went sunday after 1pm, we didn't think much of it so we order some drinks i had a michelada my wife had a sex in the rodeo which they were pretty good and since we were the only one's there it was perfect. We order a molcajete and it was fast service again we were the only clients. Once we tasted the food it was delicious the meat the chicken and the chorizo had really good flavor. The waitress was really nice and she gave us really good service and really respectful her name is i believe Angela we are really satisfied with her service and the authentic Mexican food and drinks we will go back.
