Customer Reviews

"The food was top tier I ordered the quesabirras they were bomb fresh ingredients and my Gf ordered the mole poblano and she was really satisfied we definitely come back."

- Kevin O.

"My party was seated and served some drinks right away. Not too busy on a weeknight during dinner time. Plenty of table seating and also bar seating. Cool decor and overall vibe at this restaurant. I think this is a really good Mexican food restaurant serving fresh and piping hot tortillas, spicy hot sauces (on request), with a specialty of making super sweet mole sauces. - Chicken Mole Burrito and Chicken Mole Enchiladas You can choose another protein, but our server was honest and said this paired best with chicken. I thought it tasted like candy. I'd like to know what kind of mole this is specifically. Really deep flavor. - Quesadilla You can choose a meat/protein to go inside of your quesadilla. They even offered to make this with corn tortillas. Really accommodating restaurant for people with different tastes. - Cochinita Pibil So so soft and falling apart as soon as you touch it with your fork."

"Me and my wife went for the first time and we are so glad we did. I have a hard time going to Mexican food places since I'm Mexican and there's no food like Mom's. I'm glad we did though, the mole was delicious , sweet and a little spicy. The tortillas were handmade so that just adds to the comfort. We also shared a flight of Palomas and they were so good. The interior decoration was very traditional and welcoming. We will definitely come back. Everything we tried was good and definitely recommend; mole chilaquiles, mole poblano plate, and the chorizo fondue ."
