IF I COULD GIVE LESS THAN ONE STAR I WOULD. We ordered two appetizers and our entrees at the same time. At this point it was 7:20pm (I know because I sent my son a text). We got the appetizers right away. At 8pm our waitress came by to say our food would be out in a few minutes. It never did. In the mean time the tables around us that came in after were getting their food. At this point my husband wanted to walk out. I called over the other waitress and her response was "its not our fault". I asked "whos fault is it? Mine? I dont work here you do and its your responsibility to make sure your customers are happy". Her response was to turn around and walk away. A couple of mins later my nephews burrito came out. We told them to cancel the rest. We wrapped his up and left. There excuse was "all the food is made fresh". Its Mexican food. It doesnt take over an hour to make burritos even if you went out back to kill the cow for the steak burritos we ordered. I will never go there again. Terrible customer service.

I have only ordered carryout or eaten in the front room, given the long-standing tradition of slow service dating back to the 1980s when the place was Italian Riviera. Overall, this place is actually a Mexican restaurant. The good is good. I would give them a higher rating but they are out of black beans half the time I call. I am not kidding. Fresh is great, but I dont see why they cant stock canned black beans for when they run out.

Food was bland and dry. Service was good. Menu seemed good. Flautas were over cooked and dry. No flavor, enchiladas were chicken and nothing inside. Just rolled corn tortillas with sauce on top. Spicy chicken sandwich was just overpowered with spice. Could not even taste food. And the cheese tasted old or moldy like it was freezer burned. Queso and chips had no cheese flavor or anything. Overall not good.

Very good, authentic, mexican food, with fried ice cream, rice water, and courteous service. House hot sauce was good but not too spicy, the dining room was slightly noisy, but with good, reasonably priced food and BYOB Id gladly go here again and again. The bisteak had great flavor, the spicy pork was a little bland in my opinion, but good dressed up, and the chorizo fried rice was quite good.

We have been dining here now since it has opened. The food is always piping HOT and delicious. We have tried many things from the menu. Plan to relax and BYOB. Sometimes it takes a while due to them being a short handed staff at times. But it is well worth the wait! If you bring your tequila, they make pitchers to add it to for a lovely Margarita! Take the shuttle if you can :)

Cozy atmosphere, food was pretty good. I got a Carne Asada quesadilla and wasnt thrilled - it was largely flavorless. Went with my family - my mother got just a plate of Carne Asada with onions and guacamole and it was super flavorful. Not sure why theyd be different. The platanos were tasty as well. With my meal was better but overall it was pretty good.

Food was good. Rellenos had good flavor but the batter was a greasy mess. Rice was undercooked, beans were runny, and fries looked like boiled potatoes. Torta La Bamba was decent enough, nothing special. Place needs a good scrub down and food took quite awhile to come out despite only two tables in the restaurant.

Its very rare to find a Mexican restaurant that is as authentic as this one...everything tastes home made, it tastes like your in a Mexican village eating at someones house. Amazing service. Amazing food. Cant wait to come back!!!!

Authentic Mexican food . delicious mole chicken. Sauce was full of favor and it came with soup so I tried a spicy clam chowder. This soup is the real deal . friendly service . we will be back to try more,

The food was okay, but the service could have been better. Waited a while then all the food came at once with the soup and salad plus they forgot our app but charged us anyway. Could habe been better.
