My wife and I love this restaurant. To start, the building it is in is very cool. The architecture of the old building combined with the restaurant design is definitely eye catching. The staff and management are both friendly and welcoming. If you go enough, theyll remember you! I always order chicken quesadillas, and sure enough, theyre already asking me if Im ready for my quesadillas before Ive even sat down. Most importantly, the food is very good! The Cali Burrito and Baja Quesadillas are my personal favorites. Margaritas were initially a little hit or miss when we started coming here two years ago, but have been far more consistent the past year. The Mango Margarita in particular is absolutely awesome. If you live in Hampton Roads and want a great experience, and some good Mexican food, come here. Chances are, youll come back again and again, just like I have.

If I could, I would definitely rate this location with 0 STARS! This was the worst experience Ive ever had!! My family and I came to this restaurant on a festive night "Cinco de Mayo". As expected, the restaurant was busy however we were not greeted nor seated. When we finally found a table (ourselves), we had to ask someone if we could be waited, the waiter that was asked to assist us gave us this nonchalant, uh I dont want to type deal..So I asked for a manager. When the manager came over he was very confrontational and wouldnt allow me to talk or ask questions. Ive worked in the dining industry and understand how it can sometimes be difficult but I also believe in good customer service and I did not experience any of thing close to decent service on my recent visit. This was my first and last visit to this location.

Worst experience ever!!! if I could put a negative 5 stars I would. We sat at the bar and ordered a couple of drinks until our table was ready...When we were asking about how long of a wait for our table of 6 were and they advised us that it wouldnt happen because the restaurant closed in a hour...when talking to the manager he was very argumentative and rude. We paid for our drinks and left. Once walking to the car, the manager followed us outside and with his cell phone starting to act as if he was calling someone. I asked him if he needed something and he stated you guys didnt pay your tab and im taking a picture of your license plate...we went back inside and cleared it up and our tab was paid. With this type of service and the leadership of that so called manager this restaurant will not prosper!!!!

Tried Guads out on a whim, and Im glad I did. I was immediately greeted by an energetic, smiling manager, who immediately took my drink order. I asked about their tshirts, and he brought the entire selection to my part of the bar. The waiter that helped me immediately informed me of their special, the Carnitas, which I ordered after looking over their creative menu. The Carnitas were cooked just right, still hot, and came with a delightful grilled veggie medley, which included a whole jalapeno (something I usually have to ask for), refried beans, rice, and tortillas. It was overall a great dining experience, I recommend it and will be back.

I dont know about you, but I define a Mexican restart by the guacamole, their tacos, and the horchata. All three were excellent here. The tacos came with a house hot sauce that had excellent heat and great flavour. The guacamole was chunked, rather then mashed, with fresh tomatoes and onions and a great fresh flavour. The horchata want too sweet, and didnt have the gritty texture some restaurants produce. The only downside for me was a bit of fat and gristle on the taco meat.

Food was pretty good, but our waiter didnt write down our order and missed half of it. Another waiter tried to fix it, but he messed it up (lettuce, tomato, sour cream side) and he brought over lettuce, tomato, sour cream side with guac then seemed a little annoyed when I said it wasnt supposed to have guac on it... Maybe if they turned down the music a little or used a note pad, this could have been avoided.

The food was great and our server was sweet and efficient. She brought our drinks out quickly as well as the meal, I had gotten a bold rock cider, the margaritas look good though. I ordered the carne asada tacos (flour tortilla instead of corn) with cheese. Really flavorful meat. The inside is cute/cozy with a nice outdoor dining area. Would definitely recommend.

Everyone there was friendly and our waiter was great but the food was just ok. I ordered a side and I never got it and my boyfriend ordered tacos with no lettuce/onions but he still got a normal taco anyway. Other than that the atmosphere was great and the outdoor seating was very nice. I would definitely go back to give it another try :)

I went here for the first time today and was very impressed with the customer service, atmosphere and food quality. I tried a burrito as well as an enchilada while I was there and both were incredible. Additionally the portion sizes are very large for the price you pay, so you will definitely not leave hungry.

Great atmosphere! Service a smudge on the slow side ( we arrived at 9 pm late Rush was starting). Food and beverages TOTALLY worth it. This was by far the best Mexican cuisine weve tasted and enjoyed since we can remember. The server was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning soon! Yummy

Fast service, I mean I can not think of a place I have ever gotten my food so fast! And then the food, one of the BEST Mexican flavors in Hampton roads. Me and my wife went in at 12:15 on a Friday, places was full, we ate, paid, and where gone by 12:40. One of my best dining experiences ever!

Wow! Thats the only way to describe this place. Went here last night and the food and service was awesome! Beer was cold, and the food tasted great. Great atmosphere and great prices. I love finding small Mexican restaurants and this is definitely a good find. Id recommend it to anyone.

They overcharge you then make excuses. The waitress pay you no mind. They only take your only and bring you the check. Would only come to happy hour at the bar. This was the worst. $30 was a waste. I will be disputing this for half the charge with my credit card company l.

Amazing food and service! The chips and salsa were so good, and we even got extra! I got the chicken Milanesa which was incredible. My husband got the combination platter with enchilada and burrito which was also really good. I would definitely come back!

Awful service, matter of fact no service at all for me and my party. The manager was rude and confrontational towards me as I tried to get service. Worst service I have had in 2016 hands down!
