Food and service was great, i love queso with the chips and a nice hibiscus tea drink.. i specifically had the Molcajete which is a fajita combo that comes in a bowl made of volcanic rock and that keeps the food nice n hot the whole meal! More

The atmosphere when we walked in was ok. The place was clean and had a cafeteria feel almost as we were led to a large table in the back of the room next to the open kitchen... I have eaten Mexican food all my life, growing up in a SO. … More

I always try Mexican restaurants if available in areas I travel. Unfortunately, this didn't live up to the reviews. It's not bad persay, its just that nothing stood out. The chips and salsa were maybe average. Salsa was a step above jarred salsa and the chips were overcooked. The meal was okay, but again, didn't standout. More

The chicken in the tacos wasn’t just dry — it actually smelled bad, which completely ruined the meal. The sides felt like they had been sitting out for a while, and even the chips and salsa tasted stale and flat. … More

Had a dinner on our first day of visiting Niagara Falls. Food is ok…wait time was 20 min. Not sure you can make a reservation or not. A very busy parking lot and space is tight. Spicy salsa was tasty but they charge $3 for it. I don’t think it is worthy… More

This place is absolutely fantastic with great service. Portions are large and fresh. They have an enormous selection of Gluten Free, Vegetarian and Vegan. The Gluten Free is the most important to us and this did not disappoint. Loved every bite. They have a generous amount of meat as well. The nachos are awesome. More
