“ The food is always delicious here! The skirt steak is absolutely flavorful! The Margaritas are perfect and the atmosphere is very nice! Music tends to be on the loud side but well worth it! Price is on point for the food. Waitress was very good but she had alot of tables and hard to get drink refills. ”
“ Tacoma location is my favorite one. Came here on 5/8 and they had a little specials men.u. I chose the Birria Chilaquiles and I give it 5 stars. The sauce is sweet and almost like an italian tomato sauce but sticks to the mexican flavors quite well. Let's also talk about their salsa that comes complimentary it's so good I even pour it into takeout cups when we have leftovers to box up. Also sampled a simple bean and cheese burrito and it's an awesome comfort food ”
“ Excellent experience here on a busy Saturday evening! We're seated at a table after a short wait at the bar. Chips and dips were delicious Ordered their carne asada burrito and it was filled with flavor! The rice and steak were seasoned so well! The churros were fresh! ”
“ This restaurant is always busy because they have excellent food. We waited about 15 minutes. The atmosphere is wonderful. You think that you were in a wisteria garden. Out with friends. We had dinner. The salad is fresh, has a nice presentation, and has a great variety of contents in the salad...beautiful and wonderful tasting. Street tacos were good, too. The booths are a little cramped, so get a table if someone in your party is tall or big. ”
“ Everything about this place was perfect! The ambience was an experience within itself, absolutely beautiful! The food and drinks were delicious! I suggest making reservations because they do get busy. ”
“ I visited last Sunday for happy hour in the bar. The drinks, food and service were all good! I had the quesadilla with carne asada (the orange spicy dipping sauce was very good). Great margaritas and beers on tap as well. ”
“ This is hands down the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been too! First of all, the inside is so beautiful. Great atmosphere. The service was outstanding. My server David (from Spain) was excellent, and so friendly. He was so passionate about the food, and I took all his suggestions, and they were all spot on! The food was soo delicious! And it wasn't huge plates like you'll get at El Sarape or somewhere like that. It was definitely quality over quantity. The flavors were so good. Food tasted so fresh. I didn't feel gross after eating it. I had the Chicken enchiladas with the (green) rice and refried beans and so did my friend. The best I've ever had!! Incredible!! And I paid for myself and my friend and it was only 40... Amazing!! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! ”
“ Is it located in the best area? No. However, this place is beautiful inside and the food is very good, I haven't found a high end Hispanic type food restaurant near my area however if you are ever in Tacoma around Montezuma's you'll wanna give it a go. It is a bit spendy but, if you have it it's worth it, portions are spot on, as well as the atmosphere and service are both great. I look forward to passing through again. Well done. ”
