Just left after our first visit. First off, I am stuffed! This place is delicious! And the drinks are legit! A friend recommended the cucumber shot, & oh my! Maria R, our waitress, was incredibly attentive and friendly! She truly made the experience more enjoyable! We had heard there was music on Fri/Sat nights, but none this evening. That is the only reason I gave the atmosphere 4 stars.

We love coming here. The food is always delicious. Our server today was amazing. I wish I had gotten her name. She checked on us regularly, made sure we always had something to drink, and was very pleasant to talk to.

Our dining experience tonight was exceptional. The restaurant's ambiance was delightful, and the cleanliness and service were exemplary. Our server, Joziah, provided outstanding service. The Mariscos Fiesta appetizer and the generous portions of torta and mojarra we ordered for dinner were delicious and of high quality, justifying the cost. We highly recommend a visit.

Awesome local restaurant that has some incredible New Mexican cuisine. It's a safe and easily accessible location from I-25. The restaurant is perfect for small or large dining fun. Staff is professional, courteous and responsive. Food was 5 stars, I'd recommend the combination so you can pick and chose several items (like enchiladas and rijenos). I've learned in New Mexico to get the chili on the side. The green chili at this restaurant was off the charts good.

We both ordered the chicken fajitas and loved them! The food was made fresh and everything tasted really good. The sides of rice and beans were authentic Mexican style, which is what we love. The server was fantastic and always came by to check if we needed more refills or anything else. To management, the only thing we would improve is the salsa cups and to make them bigger so our chips fit in them. The chip basket is cute but not so efficient. The salsa's were both delicious. The restaurant is very clean and maintenance was making more improvements as we dined but it was no big deal. They also have a nice bar area with lots of TV's so it would be a fun place to drink and catch a game. The reviews made me second guess going here and that's too bad. The restaurant is beautiful and the prices are fair. I would definitely be back. Try the chicken fajitas, you won't be sorry.

Came for lunch. When we arrived we were the only ones there. The waiter was beyond helpful and knew the menu well. They have a great drink menu, and they are kid friendly. Make sure to show the little ones the aquarium in the front. There are even little stairs, so the kiddos can view the fish up close.

I was always intimidated by this place but I finally took the plunge, the cucumber shot is off the chain, I'm glad I finally went here. The house salad is next level. The prices are unexpectantly reasonable. The atmosphere and fellow patrons are divey in a good way. I'm addicted to cucumber shot. Jonathan is super on point at bartending.

Love this restaurant! We have been regulars since they opened their 1st location on Coors and Fortuna - that was about 12 years ago. The food is always fresh with great flavor. All their desserts are great too but our favorite is the flan.
