First time here and I was blown away. The drinks were great and the food was amazing. The atmosphere sold me! Family owned and the service was top tier. If you’re looking for more fun stop by during happy hour 4-7 pm and on Fridays for Karaoke.

This place is a total gem! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere and friendly staff. The food? Absolutely incredible. Every dish was bursting with flavor, and you can tell they use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The tacos were perfectly seasoned, and the enchiladas were smothered in the most delicious sauce. The margaritas were also on point! Seriously, this is the best Mexican food I've had in ages. If you're looking for an authentic and delicious Mexican experience, look no further. I'm already planning my next visit!"

We had an amazing experience at this Mexican restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious—authentic flavors with a modern twist that really made every dish stand out. One of the highlights was definitely the drinks—so good! Creative, refreshing, and perfectly crafted. What really made the night special, though, was the service. Christian and Felipe were incredibly attentive and welcoming, and our server Camilo went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They made my daughter’s birthday unforgettable for aure! You could tell they genuinely cared about making our experience great, and they did just that. We’ll definitely be back—highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for top-notch Mexican food, great drinks, and outstanding service.

Really solid spot. The food was amazing and everything came out fresh and full of flavor. The margarita hit just right too. Big shoutout to Felipe for the great service—super chill and on point. Definitely coming back.

Great experience all around! We showed up right before closing, but they still took us in and served us without rushing. Felipe was welcoming and gave spot-on food suggestions—the molcajete, and pastor tacos were top-notch. Not to mention, the birria tacos were the best I’ve ever had. Drinks hit the mark, and the vibe was fun and inviting. Can’t wait to return!

Food was absolutely delicious. It was our first time trying and we had a good first time experience. Everything was delicious, the decor was cute and modern, the ambiance was nice too. We will definitely come back when we’re in Fort Lauderdale.

We were a large group (20) and the service was exceptional, this family business knows how to welcome everyone. Cristian is a natural born entertainer. The food was AMAZING. You must try the Molcajete (grilled food in a volcano stone bowl) I haven’t taste such great Mexican food for many years. We also had the Margarita pitcher. They say it’s for 8 persons but you can serve 16-18 glass out of it, no joke. The best deal in town, prices are super fair. Thanks again for such a great evening. We will back for sure!

Title: Best Happy Hour in Town! I recently visited this restaurant and was blown away by their happy hour. The happy hour menu is a dream, offering a fantastic variety of food and drinks. The tacos were flavorful and perfectly sized, the dip was creamy and addictive, and the wings were crispy and saucy. As for drinks, the cocktails were expertly mixed, the draft beer selection was impressive, and they had a great range of spirits. The prices during happy hour are unbeatable, making it the perfect spot to unwind after work or catch up with friends. The service was also top-notch; the staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, this restaurant's happy hour is a must-try. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back soon!
