Don't count on getting anything close to what you would expect in an authentic Mexican restaurant in the states or in Mexico. I am going to make the assumption that the owners have never visited or have met a single Mexican person let alone a mexican chef. I went for the chips and salsa and tacos to gauge how well... More

You would think that given all the decent Mexican restaurants in the US that someone would gather some recipes and try to duplicate them. Sadly, that's not the case with this place. I've eaten there twice, neary 10 years apart, and nothing has changed - food that barely passes for Mexican, using what looks like cheese wiz that's often barely... More

Not the real deal Tex-Mex you might be used to from a european city, but in general an ok place to go to. They have a good beverage selection, I would stay away from the food though - after having seen what it looks like on the plates of others... This is not an international restaurant, a nervous european stomach... More

I went there today for Mexican food. It was fantastic. Sunday special included a quesadilla, fajitas, chili, and a shot of tequila for 550 rub. Highly recommend this place. More
