Excellent service and food quality! A very strong 5 stars here. The environment here is sophisticated yet traditional, complete with a "Mercado" (Market) that makes fresh guacamole (3 kinds!), ceviche and more. All of the margaritas here are top quality, and none are made with the high fructose "sour mix" that many restaurants make margaritas with. I ordered the Skinny margarita that had plenty of balanced flavor...and was strong. Good $10 spent in my opinion. Free chips and salsa came, along with a type of queso dip Ive never had before. It reminded me of the Kobe white sauce a bit, but it was spicy. I liked it and found it to be so unique. We ordered the guac, which was made fresh, yet it did lack salt. We added some salt, some jalapeño and tore up the cilantro branches that came with it and it turned out excellent. For entree, I was so undecided! I eventually landed on one of the appetizers: Mini Chipotle steak tacos. OMG...spicy and amazing! I wasnt expecting that level of spice, but it was right on. I like spicy, but not fire breathing dragon spicy. Id recommend the restaurant place some spicy indicators on their menu to help those who arent familiar. Im absolutely coming back to this new gem...and excited to see more restaurants in the area raise the bar like Saint Añejo and Bavaros have done. Excellente!

This place is classy and has awesome food. Its not your run-of-the-mill Mexican restaurant. The menu is a modern take on authentic food. They make guacamole from scratch at your table and you get fresh made tortilla chips with salsa to start with. The main portions are sizeable, and not too expensive. I had the Chile Rellenos and it was probably in the top 10 as far as best meals Ive ever eaten. It was only about $13, which is good for a huge plate. The drinks are a little expensive, but thats expected in a place like this. They have a tequila collection that would rival the private collection of a tequila snob. Theres also some good margaritas and things like that, which my wife said were very good. Especially the blueberry margarita. There is usually a wait on busy nights, but it doesnt get much longer than 30 minutes. They also have outdoor seating, although limited.

Absolutely horrible. Ordered three empanadas for carry out; they said it would take 15-20 minutes. Ended up taking 35 minutes, the cashier tried to take the cash and didnt give me a receipt. Only when I asked for a receipt (after I actually got my food) the guy had to type it up, keep in mind this is AFTER I asked for a receipt because I noticed they didnt use the cash register at all when I paid. It seemed like they were trying to evade having to take account of my order to evade IRS tax. So when I finally get home to eat with my family, I come to find that all our food has been microwaved, because the center was frozen for all of our food. (how dull do they think I am?) Scandalous restaurant; I believe if people were more educated with business they would realize these cheeky little things that companies try. Horrific

My second time here. Very nice atmosphere, a little loud inside but the decor is lovely! The food has been excellent every time weve been and I have to agree its one of the better restaurants in the area. I will say it is a bit more pricey than any of the other Mexican Restaurants and you dont get as much food (note: You get plenty of food just not the heaping portions of relatively inexpensive plates you would at other places.) The drinks are good, but again, they can be a little more expensive than most of the other local places. Service has also been quite enjoyable and very prompt! Over all, super happy to have the new addition in the area!

Absolutely delicious! We called for a booth reservation at 7:30 on a busy Saturday night and was sat promptly. Service was fast and helpful. The salsa and habanero ranch with the chips was DELICIOUS. Their queso is hands down the best Ive had around Orlando area! Their carnitas, beef, and chicken were flavorful, juicy & delicious. You can tell the tortillas are homemade. Usually mexican restaurant meat is so dry. Beans and rice were light and flavorful. We will definitely be back all the time, great lunch deals! The place was a little loud but I loved the atmosphere and the decorations. Dinner can be cheap if you get the Pick Your Own deal!

This is easily the best restaurant in the area, Im so happy it just opened!! The atmosphere is awesome, and great food, I mean real good. Everyone seems really friendly and happy to work here. Ate here the past 2 nights in a row. I highly recommend the Mahi Mahi tacos! Last night I picked up take out, sort of late at night, and the music was turned up a bit and a couple were salsa dancing near the door which was cute, and the outdoor fires were going. Great vibe, I hope they stay open for a long time! Business is already good, parking lot fills up now! Also, their guac is chunky and delightful, not to be missed.

Took 20 minutes to even get drinks and another 20 minutes to correct an overcharge on the bill for a meal we did not have, then another 15 minutes for them to pick up payment. We literally spent 35 minutes trying to pay and the manager blamed his server for bartending, taking care of multiple tables across the room, and for not being quick enough. If youre at fault as a manager or if your wait staff is not able to get to your customers, at least TRY to show you care. Probably the rudest manager I have ever dealt with. We had to get up from our table three times to get help.

Aside from debating the hostess on weather or not we did a call ahead or a reservation and being seated 30 min after arriving for our 8pm reservation it was a great experience. The manager stepped in and stepped up. As soon as we were seated we were greated with fresh made guacamole and queso to go with our complimentary chips to ease our growling stomachs. The food was great and our server was awesome. We have been there at least 8 times for date nights and such so Im not gonna let a rough start to our evening ruin my perception of a great restaurant.

I went on Cinco de Mayo with a group of friends. We experienced some lags on wait, which was understandable on that particular day. However, I ordered a Margarita with extra olives and was told there were no olives, partly due to the crowd of people. Our waiter was more interested in serving other tables, and we often had to flag him down simply to get water, and the food was nothing special. An underwhelming experience to say the least.

I picked up an employee today as an Uber driver and took him home after his shift. I asked him how was the food that I have never tried it. He told me how great it was and that I would not be disappointed!! He was absolutely right. The food was absolutely amazing and service was great, good came out quickly!!! I will recommend to others! 5 stars for sure!! Steak tacos were great and the cilantro rice ... love!!
