My bf and I went last night to get some take out. We like to try out new restaurants and while the place was basically empty we wanted to give it the benefit of doubt. It’s pricey for mediocre food. I got 4 tacos al pastor. Where one taco is $4.99 but THREE is $16?? The math doesn’t add up. It’s more expensive to order in 3s than individually. The food was just ok. My bf ordered the LA burrito. The burrito was suppose to have INSIDE fries, rice, beans, meat, etc. the fried and rice and beans were plated separately. That’s a waste of our time and restaurant material. The manager needs to reevaluate their menu. We won’t be returning or recommending.

I can already tell that this will be my new favorite Mexican food spot. Menu is extensive, service is prompt and everything was delicious. Pictures are of the paella, the chori steak, the side of three tacos, a mango water, and the chips and two dips that come out after you sit down and you get your waters.

Rodriguez is the best server we've had in a long time! He was attentive, friendly and respectful. The food was great! The grilled mushrooms were definitely a surprise of flavor!
We will definitely be back!
