“ This place will not disappoint- from the chips and salsa to dessert. I got the breaded tilapia and when I say it was delicious, I left no crumbs. Their agua fresca is very very good! don’t forget to get yourself a cup :) ”
“ Got a to go order that wasn’t even started when I got there. The lady explained that it was missed and wouldn’t take long. It took maybe 3 minutes which is very impressive and I appreciate her honesty. The food was delicious. ”
“ We enjoyed our Sunday family dinner of fresh and delicious entrees: Quesa taco, ACB, birria flautas, birria and guacamole. ”
“ Hidden Gem of Clayton/Garner/Raleigh!!! OMG if this isn't the best Birria of North Carolina, I don't know what is. Coming from a native Californian this place has the goods. Limited menu but that's ok because they have perfected their craft. And the atmosphere is great. The vibes are always right and the bar is great . I highly recommend and can't wait to go back. ”
“ Delicious food and excellent attention, I was surprised with the decoration it is our second time that we go and we will surely continue to visit them ”
“ I’ve eaten here twice now and it’s going to be one of my favorite places. I have had two different fish dishes and they were amazing. The chef really knows how to cook fish perfectly! Others with me all loved their food too. I appreciate the atmosphere and that the background noise, music etc was low enough you could talk and be heard but not so low it would feel like you were broadcasting your conversations to the tables around you. (We were there later in the afternoon so it could be different during a lunch or dinner rush.) Super clean, great atmosphere, pleasant and attentive waitstaff and excellent food. Can’t wait to go again. ”
“ We always order the same thing: fajitas for two. They're consistently delicious! They even called me to confirm my gluten-free request and ensure everything was perfect. ”
“ Food and service were both great. This was my second time coming here but the first time really trying the seafood. It all tasted really good and fresh. Got the oysters, seafood tower, the Botanas MI Mazatlan, and chocolate cake. Prices are maybe slightly high but for the portion size and taste it's definitely worth it ”
