I have only been here twice for happy hour but both times were amazing. The mole enchiladas were great, 2nd time I got the birria taco appetizers during happy hour. Fantastic deal, tasted great, me and my girlfriend are definitely coming back more often.

Strange to find noodles at a Mexican restaurant. I had the pasta a la Diablo. It was good. Fetucini with shrimp and a Chipotle creme sauce.

Our bartender Zari, made the most tasty margaritas. She was super knowledgeable and she sings behind the bar when thought no one is listening...lol the sweet sign that she's happy at her job . our server Fatima was fantastic se was very knowledge on each menu item, I had arrived late , the rest of my party was being served. But she didn't miss a beat and as soon as I sat down she was there to get my order...and brought it out quickly so that I could eat with my friends. She was cheerful and friendly answering questions about her (beautiful ,traditional) name . Whom some on my honkey white party had no knowledge of... Even answering questions that seemed biase with informative grace ...even I was kind of embarrassed but she was gracious and patient. The food was great and the artwork on the walls beautiful!!!!

We had a great experience at this place, food, drinks, and overall vibe 🤩. Although it was a Saturday night, the place was surprisingly empty. Our waiter, David, provided exceptional service and made sure we had everything we needed for a memorable time.

I came here for lunch with two of my coworkers and we all enjoyed the food. The plate I got was really good, it had good flavor and the right portion to get fill enough that you don’t feel stuffed. The steak taco was awesome. The service was okay, it wasn’t bad. Seemed like they only had one guy doing most things even though there was a short lady helping out every now and then. Had to ask for the refill on drinks and salsa twice cause he forgot the fist time. Which is why I gave it a 4 star for service. Food was 5!

WOW We went today and experienced the best all you can eat Mexican buffet I’ve ever had, anyone and everyone should check this place out it’s a great place to be on Sunday morning…OK here’s the thing, I wasn’t sure what to expect when we came here I was a little concerned about their $.99 taco Tuesday we went there today and there is no none zero concerns because the tacos are delicious plenty of meat and you can choose your own toppings from the toppings station,, The drinks are delicious and the servers were outstanding everything was fantastic. Eat local, shop local, Spend local.

Went there on a Monday night at around 9pm to have dinner. Seated promptly and the food was quick to get to us. Everything was delicious and the decor offers a lot of places for pictures. Music is nice and loud.

This place is Awesome! The food is delicious and the drinks are amazing! I always go here for happy hour which is Mon-Fri 3pm to 7pm $8 cocktails and some deals in appetizers. Be prepared to spend $100 for one person. Not cheap but worth it. The vibe is super cool! They play a lot of reggaeton with music videos and the decorations are beautiful. This is a great place for a date, birthday, or just a simple night out. Definitely come here!

Honestly didn't expect much and was pleasantly surprised. Food was pricey but worth it. It had flavor wasnt bland, the drinks were spot on, not overpowered by the tequila and it was delicious, the music was hitting too. I deyf recommend the flan if you love flan because here it's so good!

UPDATE-Came with hubby and had a great time and meal! It was my first time here, came with a friend who had been here a couple times before. I was thoroughly impressed. The exterior is artsy and beautiful. The inside has a fun vibe with great music and is decorated very colorfully. The food is amazing and the staff is so accommodating and attentive. I will definitely be returning with my husband and trying more of their great food!

I went during happy hour. I don't eat sala so I was actually able to taste the good. The tacos were ok but I wish the food had more flavor/seasoning. We got the 4 margarita airplane, I think it's called and that was good.

Great bar area and vibe. Had a happy hour with some friends and made a night of it. The service was friendly the drinks and food were good. If I had a complaint, it's that we mentioned to the server that two folks in our party are celebrating a birthday and no offer was made to have them do anything was special. At first we figured no big deal, maybe they don't do anything and then we saw no less than 5 celebrations with the employees lining up and singing. Needless to say we were disappointed about that. The other tad annoyance was that they had a family with small children seated at a table within the bar area. As their children got fussy, we could hear their fussing, pouting, and even crying. While I love families going out... in a bar area? Really?

Our 1st time here for a birthday lunch! Sandra, our server, was absolutely amazing. She was so kind and attentive. Seriously the best service I’ve received anywhere. Birria was great- so much flavor! Rice was super salty. Beans were beans. Nothing special, no real flavor. Guacamole was delicious- just not sure it’s worth it for the price. The avocado was fresh and so creamy. Wet burrito was ironically super dry inside and lacked flavor. More than half left over and not taken home. The sauce that makes it “wet” is only their table salsa and not a typical enchilada-type sauce. Carnitas tacos were great according to the person who ordered them. I love that they use fresh avocado for the tacos with no mix ins. It’s perfect for picky people who don’t like onions! Flan was okay- not the best but not bad. I’m a flan connoisseur so I’ve had a lot 😂 Pricing is high but I’m assuming you’re paying for the ambiance and nicer/trendy plating. I would come back to try new things. They do have a lunch menu but pricing is pretty similar to standard menu. No kids menu. Menu states no substitutions or modifications but we were able to get 1 asada taco with only avocado mash on it.

This was a great place for a date night. Went on a Saturday night and it was really loud like a night club. The waiter couldn’t even hear us to order. The food was really good and the drinks were delicious. If the music was not all the way up I would have gave 5 stars. The staff was great and was on top of cleaning up the tables. The environment was a night out vibe was not really for little kids. I would think lunch would be more suitable.

The Mexican food was the best I've had in awhile. The quesabirra tacos should be illegal because they're so delicious. The churro sandwich was like heaven in my mouth. The sushi was like if you only had six items to make sushi in the back and deep fried the crap out of it. Too many red onions for my taste and just stick with regular sushi with some Mexican flare on top. Highly recommend regardless of the sushi.

Many people complain about the music being too loud here. The solution for you would be to come at Lunch time so you can hear everyone else in your party clearly. For lunch, I ordered a soyrizo and a sweet potato taco with beans and rice. The soyrizo had a ton of flavor but the tortillas tasted old. The sweet potato taco was the worst thing I’ve ever eaten. Ive never in my existence had anyone mess up a sweet potato. Completely bland, flavorless, downright disgusting and again, served on an out of date tortilla. The side of rice also tasted as though it had been out all day or even yesterday. I was hoping the beans would save the day. Alas, it did not. My friend ordered the Cali burrito. The majority of it was fries and the VERY little meat that was inside was riddled with fat. The beautiful DRINK on the other hand was phenomenal. Expensive, but delicious. There is ample parking but the customer service is also “meh”. My advice would be to try out the lunch specials before you go in the evening and pay full price for tasteless food.

1690 Spruce St Riverside I’m only here for ONE reason !!! On February 10th approximately 2:30pm I went here with my mom to celebrate her Birthday because she loves the Valentines week drinks. As we are sitting down the server in the picture is making our drink, as I watch him for maybe 2 seconds it seems while he was making the drink some spills on his finger. THANK GOD I WAS WATCHING HIM, HE LICKS IT OFF HIS FINGER AND CONTINUES TO MAKE THE DRINKS!! We immediately get up from the table, I approach him to let him know that I seen him lick his finger and that is the most unsanitary thing ever. He didn’t argue with me he wiped and then washed his hands! We left in disgust BE AWARE!

How do you mess up nachos and tacos… The nachos were a mixed of old stale chips, burnt chips, and under fried chips. The tacos were poorly assembled and had poor meat ratio. My table also got the pasta diablo and the pasta was verryyy undercooked and still hard. First and last time here.

This place is absolutely horrible. We made reservations ahead of time for my cousins birthday it was for Sunday 12pm. We get there and they gave what was supposed to be our section away because supposedly us and the other party had the same name. ( I don't believe it for a second ) so they shoved us in the corner of the restaurant by the restrooms. We had to beg for service. Our server Sandra was absolutely horrible I do not recommend at all. She had the rudest attitude, and we had to get up and ask everyone else for drinks because she wasn't taking care of our party. Mind you there's over 14 of us who are getting charged $40 a piece to have bottomless mimosas that are not bottomless since she's taking over 30 min to check on us every time. I think because the automatic tip she gets she slacked off. Then we asked for one more round of mimosas and I watched the bartender try to give us a whole jug of just orange juice. So I made him go get a bottle of champagne and put some in there, I couldn't believe it. I'm glad I watched him because that was insane. Then our bill comes and it's over $1300. We were all so dissatisfied with where we were sat without even trying to get accommodation for something better, no discount, literally nothing. So I talked to the manager and the best he could do was take $50 off the bill. This place is a literal joke. From the server, to the bartender, to the manager. This is the type of place you should avoid all together. Never ever again. The blonde girl was our server Sandra. In black was the bartender. In grey polo with glasses was the manager. Only come if you want horrible service.
