We went in and were seated very quickly. The waiter was very attentive and we received our food quickly. The taste was delicious we all enjoyed a family dinner together and the dishes were tasty. Will definitely come again.
Came here because I tried going to La Chata and the line was insanely long. I was told this was a good second option to come to. I was seated almost immediately once I arrived and as I write this review, I am still seated here at the restaurant. It was incredibly disappointing to say the least. I asked the waiter what he recommended and he told me the carne en su jugo was exceptional and one of the more popular items on the menu, so I bought an order of that. Upon it arriving to the table, I was taken aback at how different it looked from the photo. It was nowhere near the amount of meat or beans pictured. It honestly felt like they took them both out of a can, heated it up and served it to me. So so disappointing, especially when you consider that this is one of the more traditional/typical dishes of Jalisco. It was definitely not worth the money or the time lol. I wish I waited in line for La Chata.
Skip this place, I have to agree with most the negative responses. Food was cold and not much flavor. We would never return to this place.
It is a overly lively place with great staff and always a line waiting. However the food was really below average standards. It was buried in grease, arrived mostly cold and had little flavor. Very disappointing as we liked the atmosphere and the hard working staff as well as the craft beer option.
